【感恩節(jié)狂歡】滬江外教Alison帶大家一起唱響(活動現場錄音)
感恩節(jié)Q&A
第三部分是提問時間：關于感恩節(jié)，童鞋們都有些什么樣的問題要請教Alison老師呢？
Q: I wonder what's the most popular food besides turkey on thanksgiving day?
A: Most families have something called stuffing. Stuffing is a kind of bread and vegetable mixture that you put inside the bird and cook.
除了火雞外，大多數家庭還會吃stuffing，就是填塞在火雞里烹調的面包與蔬菜的混合物啦~
Q: I have no idea how big a turkey is. How many can one turkey feed?
A: An average sized turkey is actually about 15 pounds, so it's very heavy. And when my families have thanksgiving dinner, one turkey is enough to feed maybe 15 people and still have turkey to eat the next week.
一只普通的火雞有15磅之重，15人吃都綽綽有余！
Q: How Americans celebrate thanksgiving?
A: Thanksgiving is usually celebrated by having a meal. And when my family celebrates thanksgiving, everybody sits at the table, says one thing that they are thankful for. So that's how my family celebrates.
Alison家里過感恩節(jié)時是一家人圍坐在桌邊，說一件自己心懷感激之事。好溫馨呀~
Q: What's your plan for thanksgiving?
A: I have a couple of plans. First, one of my Chinese friends is going to learn how to cook a thanksgiving dinner. So we'll get together and I'll teach him how to cook. And also I'll be getting together with some American friends and celebrating with them this weekend.
Alison對于今年的感恩節(jié)有不少計劃。首先要教一個中國朋友如何燒感恩節(jié)大餐，另外還要和美國朋友們一起聚會。
Q: What about vegetarians? What do you eat if you don't eat meat?
A: There's something called a Tofurky, which is a turkey made of tofu. So a lot of people eat that. Also some people use nuts instead of meat and they make a loaf.
不吃肉的家伙感恩節(jié)吃啥捏？原來還有豆腐做的火雞??！
Q: Do people still have to work on thanksgiving day?
A: Thanksgiving is a national holiday. That means that nobody works on thanksgiving day. Of course, if you work in a restaurant and the restaurant stays open, you have to work.
感恩節(jié)是美國的國定節(jié)日，所以大家都是不用工作的啦。當然如果你是在餐廳干的那就不一定了……
Q: Alison, we all know that you are very good at Chinese. Can you say something about thanksgiving in Chinese?
A: I wish that I could talk about thanksgiving in Chinese, but I haven't learnt how to say I love to spend time with my family. Maybe you can teach me.
這孩子竟然讓Alison老師用中文聊感恩節(jié)……喂喂，Alison老師不怎么會中文的啦，不要欺負人家??！接下來的情況大家都聽到了哈，Alison學得不錯吧XD
Q: If there's any TV program that is associated with thanksgiving day?
A: There's is the Thanksgiving Day Macy's Parade that takes place in New York city and that is on TV all day. So lots of people watch that.
紐約有感恩節(jié)游行活動，而且電視上會全天直播，所以很多人都會在感恩節(jié)那天看這個~
Q: Is there anything besides food in thanksgiving?
A: Yes, actually varies. Thanksgiving is the very popular time for people to volunteer, to give their time and money to charities.
感恩節(jié)也不只是吃飯啦，比如它還是獻出時間和金錢來進行義務服務的熱門時間哦。
Q: If parents give presents to children?
A: No. Nobody really give presents on thanksgiving. Sometimes people send cards in email, but usually no presents.
雖然有時人們會在感恩節(jié)贈送賀卡，但是不會送什么真正實質性的禮物，所以別想在這天從父母那兒得到東西啦。
Q: If I want to celebrate thanksgiving with my friends, what should I prepare?
A: Usually if you want to celebrate with your friends, you cook the meat and the potatoes, and then everyone else brings their favorate dish to share.
如果想要和朋友一起慶祝感恩節(jié)，那你只需準備好肉和土豆，然后讓其他人帶來自己喜歡的菜肴一起分享就好了。
Q: Do schools and companies have time off on Black Friday?
A: The answer is Yes for schools and No for companies. But a lot of people take Friday as a holiday, so they can stay at home and rest after thanksgiving.
“黑色星期五”這天學校會放假，但是公司是不放假的。不過很多人會把周五作為休息日，那樣他們可以在感恩節(jié)后呆在家里好好休息一下。
Q: If people decorate the houses for thanksgiving?
A: Yes. People love to decorate their houses in fall colors like reds, and oranges, and yellows, lots of leaves and turkeys everywhere.
感恩節(jié)的時候人們也會對自己的家做一番裝飾，他們常常喜歡選用紅色、橙色、黃色之類屬于秋天的色彩，在家里到處點綴上葉子和火雞~
Q: How to say happy thanksgiving to their foreign teachers?
A: The answer is you can say "Happy Thanksgiving". This is the only thing Americans say to each other.
如何祝福外國老師感恩節(jié)快樂？一句簡單的"Happy Thanksgiving"就可以啦，美國人之間也只說這句話呵呵。
最后Alison老師說，很高興能回答大家的問題，也很喜歡童鞋們的歌曲，希望大家度過一個愉快的Thanksgiving Day！
