關于感恩節的詳細內容

感恩節的來歷(感恩節的由來)在美國,每年11月的最后一個星期四是舉國同慶的感恩節,規定從這一天起休假三天。即使遠在異鄉的美國人也都要在節日前趕回去與家人團聚,共慶佳節。美國人對感恩節重視的程度,堪與傳統的盛大節日-圣誕節相比。為什么叫感恩節呢?追根溯源,感恩節是和美洲古代的印第安人,特別是和玉米的種植有十分密切的關系。1620年9月6日,一批英國清教徒難以忍受宗教的迫害,搭乘“五月花號”木船駛往美洲。他們在疲勞、饑餓、寒冷和疾病的襲擊下在大西洋上漂泊了65天,最后到達北美殖民地的普利茅斯。當時正值冬季,氣候嚴寒,田野寂寥。當地印第安人慷慨地拿出貯藏越冬的玉米和土豆,送去獵獲的野鴨和火雞。春天來了,印第安人教他們種植玉米和南瓜,飼養火雞。白人移民和印第安人建立了親密的友誼。這年秋季玉米豐收,移民們舉行了豐盛的感恩會,用烤火雞和玉米糕點款待印第安人。印第安人帶著各種玉米制品、烤火雞、南瓜餡餅、野葡萄以及玉米酒漿等參加晚會,人們歡唱歌舞,通霄達旦。以后在每年玉米收獲后的11月底,定居在這里的白人移民都要舉行感恩會,家家烤火雞,烹制玉米食品,款待印第安人。長此以往,這種感恩會就成為一種慣例。但是,當時感恩節的時間并不固定,直至1863年,美國總統林肯宣布把感恩節定為全國性的節日,號召人民同心同德,為美國的繁榮昌盛作出努力。為了紀念感恩節,在普利茅斯城的薩摩特大街修建了一座巨大的移民先驅者紀念碑。高達10米的乳白色先民雕像,搭著披肩,手指蒼穹,在四塊大理石浮雌上描述了到普利茅斯未的第一批移民的故事和感恩節的淵源。現今,玉米制品仍然是歡度感恩節的不可缺少的食品之。加拿大感恩節(十月八日)加拿大感恩節與美國不同日英語感恩節英語詞匯The"FirstThanksgiving"----英語感恩節關于感恩節的一些詞匯TalkTurkey:打開窗戶說亮話,說實在的相傳在北美殖民時期,一個白人和一個黑人去打獵,事先說好了平分打到的獵物。結果一天下來只打到一只火雞和一只鷓鴣。白人心里想要火雞,但又不敢直接說,于是對印第安人說"如果你要火雞,我就拿鷓鴣,如果你要鷓鴣,我就拿火雞",印第安人一聽就明白了,于是針鋒相對地說:"你一直在講火雞,現在讓我也講講火雞吧!"于是talkturkey演變成"打開窗戶說亮話,說實在的,坦誠地說話"的意思了例:1。Ifyouarewillingtotalkturkey,thedisputebetweenuscanbeeasilysettled。如果你愿意實實在在地說話,那么我們之間的爭端就可以很容易地解決。2。Generallyheisaneasy-goingperson,butwhenitcomestoreligiousbeliefhetalksturkey。一般來說,他是一個隨和的人,但一談到宗教信仰,他就正經起來。其它詞匯:*haveaturkeyon(one's)back:1、喝醉酒2、吸毒*redasaturkeycock:氣的滿面通紅*swelllikeaturkeycock:氣勢洶洶的發作*Thanksgivingdinner感恩節正餐*Thanksgivingturkey感恩節火雞感恩節食譜新英格蘭風格的感恩節食譜:烘烤的栗子餡的土耳其餅、南瓜蘋果醬。ThanksgivingFoodThemostimportantpartofThanksgivingisthefood!TherearethreeessentialpartsofthetraditionalThanksgivingmeal:StuffedTurkey,SweetPotatoesandPumpkinPieOfcourse,therearelotsofthingspeopleeatatThanksgiving,andnoteverybodyeatsTurkey,MashedPotatoesandPumpkinPie。But,whenAmericansthinkaboutThanksgiving,theyusuallythinkaboutthesethreefoods。So,ifyouwanttoexperienceanAmericantraditionyoushouldlearnhowtomakeandenjoyallthreeofthem!OthercommonThanksgivingfoodsincludeMashedPotatoesandGravy,CranberrySauce,Biscuits,Wine,VegetablesandSquash。HerearesomeeasyThanksgivingrecipes:RoastTurkeywithChestnutStuffingRecipe1x12lbTurkey1xChestnutfillingrecipe(asfollows)1/2cupButter1/4cupFlourSaltDressandcleanturkeyandfillwithChestnutStuffing。Creamtogetherthebutterandflourandrubthelegs,wings,andbreastoftheturkeywiththemixture。Placeinoven(400-F)for15minutes。Seasonwithsalt。Reducetheheatto350-Fandfinishroastingfor3-1/2hoursoruntiltender。ChestnutDressingRecipeBoilingwater11/2lbChestnuts1/3cupButterSaltandpepper1cupDrybreadcrumbs1/2cuphotMilkPourboilingwateroverchestnutsandletstand5minutes;Removeskinwithfingersandaknife。Cooknutsabout1/2hourinboilingsaltedwater。Drain,mashandaddbutterandseasonings。Pourmilkovercrumbsandaddtonutmixture。Mixwell,thenstuffitinsidetheturkey。GarlicMashedSweetPotatoes2poundssweetpotatoes,cutintosmallpieces2clovesgarlic,finelychopped6tablespoonsbutter,divided1/2cupsourcream1teaspoonsalt1to2tablespoonschoppedcilantroCookunpeeledsweetpotatoes,covered,inboilingsaltedwater,20to30minutesoruntiltender。Meanwhile,sautegarlicin1tablespoonbutterfor2minutes。Whenpotatoesarefullycooked,drainthoroughly。Peelanddiceandreturntopan。Addsauteedgarlic,remainingbutter,sourcreamandsalt。Mashthoroughly。Foldincilantro。Transfertoservingbowlandgarnishwithadditionalcilantroifdesired。BakedCarrotsRecipe18Carrots,small1/3cupButter1/2cupSugar1teaspoonSalt1/3teaspoonCinnamon1/3cupBoilingwaterScrapeorparecarrotsandplaceinbakingdish。Creambutter,sugar,saltandcinnamontogether;addwaterandblendwell。Pourovercarrots,coverandbakeinmoderate350Foven11/2hours。ReallyEasyPumpkinPieRecipe11/3cupPumpkin;cooked&pureed11/3cupCondensedmilk1Egg1/2teaspoonSalt11/4teaspoonCinnamon,ground1/2teaspoonNutmeg,ground1/2teaspoonGinger,ground1/4teaspoonCloves,ground1cupWater,hotBeatallingredientstogether。Pourintoa9-inchpastryshell。Bakeat375Ffor55to65minutes。。
