Q: How Do People Celebrate Thanksgiving?

問：感恩節(jié)應(yīng)該怎么過？

Thanksgiving is historically the busiest travel holiday of the year. Each year, Americans travel to visit family members in cars, trains and by plane.

感恩節(jié)在史上一直是一年中最繁忙的出行假日，每年美國人都開車、坐火車或飛機(jī)探親。

Thanksgiving does not center around religious traditions, and instead emphasizes family and harvests.

感恩節(jié)不是圍繞著宗教傳統(tǒng)活動，而是強(qiáng)調(diào)家庭和豐收。

The Thanksgiving holiday revolves around food, which often includes a variety of traditional items. Dinner typically includes a turkey, along with mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. Sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and cornbread often accompany the meal. Desserts, primarily apple, pumpkin, pecan and sweet potato pies, follow decadent dinners.

感恩節(jié)食物也很重要，通常有多種傳統(tǒng)食物。典型的感恩節(jié)晚餐上有火雞，搭配土豆泥、填充料和肉汁。晚餐上通常還有甜薯、蔓越莓醬汁和玉米面包。吃得一片狼藉之后，通常要來點(diǎn)甜點(diǎn)（主要是蘋果）、南瓜、碧根果和甜薯派。

Families abstaining from meat and vegetarians substitute traditional meats with items, such as tofu, salads and other fruits and vegetables.

不吃肉的家庭和素食者通常用別的東西來替代傳統(tǒng)肉類，比如豆腐、沙拉和其他水果蔬菜。

While families dine privately, Thanksgiving contains public ceremonies and traditions, too. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, for instance, takes place in New York City every year.

雖然聚餐都是以家庭為單位，但感恩節(jié)也會有一些公眾的慶祝活動和傳統(tǒng)，比如紐約每年都會有梅西百貨感恩節(jié)游行。

Additionally, the U.S. President participates in a turkey pardon, which involves receiving a live turkey and allowing it to go free.

此外，美國總統(tǒng)也會參加火雞赦免儀式，活動中會選出一只活火雞，然后放生。
