thanksgiving day 英文简介

答案

感恩节（英语：Thanksgiving Day）是美国和加拿大共有的节日,原意是为了感谢上天赐予的好收成.在美国,自1941年起,感恩节是在每年11月的第四个星期四,并从这一天起将休假两天.像中国的春节一样,在这一天,成千上万的人们不管多忙,都要和自己的家人团聚.加拿大的感恩节则起始于1879年,是在每年10月第二个星期一,与美国的哥伦布日相同.
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving in Canada falls on the same day as Columbus Day in the United States. Because of the longstanding traditions of the holiday, the celebration often extends to the weekend that falls closest to the day it is celebrated.
