A Modest and Lovely Thanksgiving Feast
Thanksgiving,after all is a word of action---W.J.Cameron
We had finally decided to skip our traditional family dinner and make the holy journey to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(游行)with our five-year-old daughter, Kerry. We never anticipated what Kerry would take away from the experience,or how it would affect our lives for years to come.
We caught the dawn train from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central along with hundreds of other excited celebrants.Like many other families we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes; eating on the fly in New York City is expensive and complicated,unless you settle for pretzels and roasted chestnuts from a street food stand.Kerry was wide-eyed and a little overwhelmed. This was not her ordinary outing with Mom and Dad.
As the train pulled into the terminal, everyone rose and stood in the passage anxiously waiting to get off and head toward the parade route along Fifth Avenue. Rather than have our little daughter pushed roughly by the crowds, we waited until everyone had stepped off onto the chaos of the platform. As we walked up to the entrance to the terminal,Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.
“What's that ” she asked. We looked at each other,caught off guard(猝不及防)by the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we'd discussed how we would explain such nearly ineffable topics as God death, and eventually sex and love.But homelessness We weren't prepared. We gave as simple and honest an explanation as we could find and continued on to the parade.
The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches.

【参考范文】
Again, Kerry caught us off guard “Can we bring some sandwiches for those people ” she asked. We knew immediately whom she meant. How could we refuse More importantly, why would we refuse This was a golden opportunity to honor Kerry's sense of charity. Our six-year-old daughter was teaching us an important lesson. We bought five pounds of sliced turkey, two loaves of bread and a can of cranberry sauce. That night we prepared and packed two-dozen sandwiches into our now overstuffed backpack.
We arrived and found a homeless man sitting in the same spot as last year. We stopped and took out the first of the little feasts from the pack. Without a word of instruction we handed it to Kerry. She walked over to the man slowly, standing still until he looked up at her.She reached out and handed the sandwich to him. Neither spoke a word. Then we were off to the parade, stopping along the way to distribute the rest of the sandwiches, except one for each of us. Somehow, no giant Thanksgiving sit-down feast ever tasted as good as those sandwiches.
续写译文
凯莉又一次让我们措手不及：“我们能给那些人带些三明治吗？”她问道。我们马上就知道她指的是谁。我们怎么能拒绝呢？更重要的是，我们为什么要拒绝？这是向凯莉的慈善意识致敬的绝佳机会。我们六岁的女儿正在给我们上一堂重要的课。我们买了五磅火鸡片、两条面包和一罐蔓越莓酱。那天晚上，我们准备好了20多个三明治，装进了已经塞满东西的背包里。
我们到达后发现一个流浪汉和去年一样坐在同一个地方。我们停下来，从背包里拿出了第一份小盛宴。我们一声不吭地把它交给了凯莉。她慢慢地走向那个男人，站着不动，直到他抬头看着她。她伸手把三明治递给他。两人都没有说话。然后我们去了游行队伍，沿途停下来分发剩下的三明治，除了我们每个人一个。不知何故，没有一场盛大的感恩节坐下来盛宴的味道像那些三明治那样好。
