39、伊特和他的勇士们作为宾客被邀参加。 参考译文第一个感恩节 6在三天的庆祝活动中，这一小部分的妇女劳作的十分辛苦。她们为140个人包括印第安客人准备三天的盛宴。她们将五只鹿与火鸡、鹅放在露天一起烧煮，将龙虾和牡蛎放在炭上烘烤，将蛤蜊杂烩汤放在铁锅里用文火煨。 参考译文第一个感恩节 7同时，男人们参加各种各样的比赛和游戏。印第安人比赛射箭。印第安人和白人一起参加各项体育比赛。清教徒的头领通常认为游戏和运动是浪费时间，当然，在这样的节日他们也就不那么严守规定了。但是在这三天的庆祝活动期间也常常举行祷告仪式。迈尔斯斯坦迪什和他的士兵们为客人举行了阅兵仪式。除了布拉德福总督每个人都加入到了阅兵队列中。当

40、士兵们鸣枪吹号时，庆祝活动进入了狂欢阶段。人们庆祝了人类历史上第一个感恩节。 元宵节 阴历第一个月的第十五天（正月十五）在中国也是一个重要的传统节日，在那天会有各种各样的灯会。元宵灯会是自古流传到今的一种风俗。近年来，人们生活水平的提高使得全国各地出现了五花八门的灯会。明月下，成百上千只彩色的灯笼，使得元宵节变得五彩斑斓，呈现出了独特的景色。除了灯会以外，元宵节还有各种戏剧表演、烟花斗妍、杂技和舞蹈等节目的演出，这些都是庆祝活动的一部分。 按传统习惯，每个家庭元宵节晚上都要吃元宵。元宵是一种包有甜馅如糖或豆沙的黏性糯米团，象征着家庭团圆、美满幸福。因此赏灯节也被称为元宵节。“元宵”一名是由“元

41、”和“宵” 组成，“元”意为阴历的第一个月，“宵”取自“夜宵”一词意为“夜晚”。 关于元宵节的由来，有许多好笑的故事。其中最让人难以相信的一个是说古代一个宫女煮了一碗汤圆，皇帝吃后觉得十分可口美味，因此为了纪念宫女的烹饪手艺所以将这天定为元宵节。 1.
