In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship.
1620年，一些朝聖者(或稱為清教徒)乘坐"五月花"號船去美國尋求宗教自由。
After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
他們在海上顛簸折騰了兩個月之後，終於在酷寒的十一月裡，在現在的.馬薩諸塞州的普里茅斯登陸。
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
在第一個冬天，半數以上的移民都死於飢餓和傳染病，活下來的人們在第一個春季開始播種。
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.
整個夏天他們都熱切地盼望著豐收的到來，他們深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在與否都將取決於即將到來的收成。
Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed.
後來，莊稼獲得了意外的豐收，所以大家決定要選一個日子來感謝上帝的恩典。
Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year.
多年以後，美國總統宣佈每年十一月的第四個星期四為感恩節。
The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
感恩節慶祝活動便定在這一天，直到如今。
