時間飛快如梭,時序已經進入11月,每年11月的第四個星期四就是大家熟悉的感恩節 (Thanksgiving Day)

感恩節是美國加拿大的全國性的節日,由來源自於1620年,英國受迫害的清教徒搭乘五月花號到達美洲。來到了新環境,不少人因為缺少食物且飢寒交迫。但在印第安人的幫助下,新移民學會了狩獵、種植玉米、南瓜,並在來年迎來了豐收。他們感恩印度安人的幫助,所以有了感恩節這一天的由來,提醒後代子孫不要忘記這個恩惠。

感恩節在國外也是一個全家團聚的日子,雖然在台灣沒有這樣的習俗,但我們也可以回首這一年,看看是否有想要特別感恩的人,藉著這一天大方地表達出來吧!

藉這個主題,我們也分享5個簡單英語單字:

Turkey :火雞
a bird that looks like a large chicken and is often eaten at Christmas and at Thanksgiving
e.g. Our family prepares a turkey for Thanksgiving every year.
例句:我們家每年感恩節都會準備火雞

Stuffing :填料
a mixture of rice, onion, etc. that you put inside a chicken, turkey, etc. before cooking it
e.g. My mother makes a special sage and onion stuffing.
例句:我媽媽特別準備了洋蔥跟鼠尾草的填料

Native American:美洲原住民
someone who belongs to one of the races that lived in North America before Europeans arrived
e.g. European explorers encountered Native Americans soon after reaching North America.
例句:歐洲探險家一到北美洲就遇到了當地原住民

Harvest :收穫
the time when crops are gathered from the fields, or the act of gathering them
e.g. The villagers have a big feast after the harvest every year.
例句:每年鄉民都會辦宴會來慶祝收穫

Autumn:秋天
the season between summer and winter, when leaves change color and the weather becomes cooler
e.g. The trees always look beautiful during autumn.

正確且流暢的用英語與人交談其實一點都不難,我們會用英語來解釋每個單字,因為我們相信用英語來學習英語是最有效方法,只要常加練習,到需要用時就可以輕鬆應對。
