Q: How Do People Celebrate Thanksgiving?問(wèn)：感恩節(jié)應(yīng)該怎么過(guò)？

Thanksgiving is historically the busiest travel holiday of the year. Each year, Americans travel to visit family members in cars, trains and by plane. 感恩節(jié)在史上一直是一年中最繁忙的出行假日，每年美國(guó)人都開車、坐火車或飛機(jī)探親。

Thanksgiving does not center around religious traditions, and instead emphasizes family and harvests. 感恩節(jié)不是圍繞著宗教傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)，而是強(qiáng)調(diào)家庭和豐收。

The Thanksgiving holiday revolves around food, which often includes a variety of traditional items. Dinner typically includes a turkey, along with mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. Sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and cornbread often accompany the meal. Desserts, primarily apple, pumpkin, pecan and sweet potato pies, follow decadent dinners. 感恩節(jié)食物也很重要，通常有多種傳統(tǒng)食物。典型的感恩節(jié)晚餐上有火雞，搭配土豆泥、填充料和肉汁。晚餐上通常還有甜薯、蔓越莓醬汁和玉米面包。吃得一片狼藉之后，通常要來(lái)點(diǎn)甜點(diǎn)（主要是蘋果）、南瓜、碧根果和甜薯派。

Families abstaining from meat and vegetarians substitute traditional meats with items, such as tofu, salads and other fruits and vegetables.不吃肉的家庭和素食者通常用別的東西來(lái)替代傳統(tǒng)肉類，比如豆腐、沙拉和其他水果蔬菜。

While families dine privately, Thanksgiving contains public ceremonies and traditions, too. The Macy"s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for instance, takes place in New York City every year. 雖然聚餐都是以家庭為單位，但感恩節(jié)也會(huì)有一些公眾的慶祝活動(dòng)和傳統(tǒng)，比如紐約每年都會(huì)有梅西百貨感恩節(jié)游行。

Additionally, the U.S. President participates in a turkey pardon, which involves receiving a live turkey and allowing it to go free.此外，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)也會(huì)參加火雞赦免儀式，活動(dòng)中會(huì)選出一只活火雞，然后放生。
