标题: 点明中心式由“Thanksgiving 感恩节”可知本文的主旨是“感恩节”。由此引导你展开遐想: When → Where→ History → Why → Activities and Food。
体裁: 说明文
阅读方法: 抓中心句法本文每段首句均是段落中心句, 是各段内容的概括和总结, 阅读时注意抓住中心句有助于把握文章的内容。第一段引出话题: Thanksgiving; 第二段介绍history; 第三段描述traditional dinner; 第四段介绍其他庆祝activities。
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn.③ The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. ④
主语
谓语
宾语
状语从句
背景:
When: On the fourth Thursday in November.
Who: The American people.
Why: People give thanks for their food.
What: Celebrate with a traditional dinner.
Watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Watch the football games on TV.
逻辑关系: 从因到果。从②段介绍感恩节的历史起源到③段美国人一直庆祝这个传统节日, 很好地体现了这个因果关系。
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. ⑤ We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes. ⑥
这些动词(短语) 描述了人们庆祝感恩节的繁忙场景: 准备晚餐→大块朵颐→饭后叙谈→帮洗盘子。这样描写使文章紧凑、有条理、生动, 表达了节日里人们“忙并快乐着”的兴奋之情。
The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do.
这两个句子是节日庆祝活动的衔接, 起到了承上启下的作用, 使行文更加流畅、自然。
We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much. ⑦
