All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety,knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yieldrich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November asThanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Dayhas been observed on that date until today。

　　在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民[微博]都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直到如今。
