4.Most stories of Thanksgiving history start with the harvest celebration of the pilgrims and the Native Americans that took place in the autumn of 1621. Although they did have a three-day feast in celebration of a good harvest, and the local natives did participate, this "first thanksgiving" was not a holiday, simply a gathering. There is little evidence that this feast of thanks led directly to our modern Thanksgiving Day holiday. Thanksgiving can, however, be traced back to 1863 when Pres. Lincoln became the first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day. The holiday has been a fixture of late November ever since.
However, since most school children are taught that the first Thanksgiving was held in 1621 with the Pilgrims and Indians, let us take a closer look at just what took place leading up to that event, and then what happened in the centuries afterward that finally gave us our modern Thanksgiving.
参考译文：
感恩与朝圣者和发生在1621年秋天举行的美洲原住民庆祝丰收的历史开始的楼层最多。虽然他们确实有一个好收成的庆祝为期三天的节日，和当地土人确实参与，这个“第一次感恩节”是不放假，只是一个聚会。很少有证据表明，这直接导致的感谢我们的节日感恩节假期现代化。感恩可以，但是，要追溯到1863年的时候普雷什。林肯成为第一位总统宣布感恩节。这个节日一直是11月下旬以来，夹具。
然而，由于大多数学校教导孩子们第一次感恩节是在1621年举行的朝圣者和印第安人，只是让我们看看发生了什么导致这一事件仔细一看，然后又如何在数百年之后，终于发生了我们的现代感恩节。

第一篇
The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。
这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

1, An Actor and a Clergyman
At a banquet honoring a leading actor, the actor was asked to recite something for the pleasure of his guests. He consented and asked if there was anything special that anyone in the audience would like to hear.
After a moment’s pause, an old clergyman asked, “ Could you, sir, recite the Twenty-third Psalm?”
The actor was puzzled but agreed to this request upon one condition, that after he had recited it, that the clergyman do the same.
Initially, the clergyman protested, arguing that he was not an elocutionist. However, seeing that this was the only way the actor would grant his request, he finally agreed.
The actor began the psalm, holding the audience spellbound from start to finish – after which there was a great burst of applause from the guests.
Then it was the clergyman’s turn. The psalm was recited, and when it was done, there was not a single ripple of applause from the audience, but every guest had their head bowed and not one was dried eyed.
The actor then put his hand on the shoulder of the old clergyman, and with a trembling voice exclaimed, “ I reached your eyes and ears, my friends; this man reached your hearts. I know the Twenty-third Psalm; this man knows the Shepherd.”
演员和牧师
在表彰一位主要演员的宴会上，大家要求那演员朗诵一个，给来宾助兴。他接受了要求，并问听众中是否有人要听什么特殊的东西。
静场一会儿之后，一位上了年纪的牧师问：“先生， 您能朗诵诗篇第23篇吗？”
演员有点茫然，但是同意了这个请求，不过有个条件，在他朗诵之后，牧师也要朗诵。
起初，牧师不同意，说自己不会朗诵。不过，他看到只有照办，演员才会同意他的请求时，还是答应了下来。
演员朗诵起诗篇，自始至终让听众入迷。朗诵结束后，宾客中响起一阵哗哗的掌声。
随后，轮到牧师了。诗篇声响起又落下，听众中鸦雀无声，但是每个客人都低着头，两眼湿湿的。
这时，演员把手放在老牧师的肩膀上，声音颤抖地高声说：“我只触及诸位的双眼和双耳，这位先生触动了诸位的心。我只知道诗篇第23篇，这位先生了解我们的牧人。”
2.
Many years ago in the city of Hamburg, the saintly philosopher Moses Mendelssohn fell in love with a charming woman named Fruntje. He approached her father, Guggenheim, to inform him of his love for her. Guggenheim, referring to Mendelssohn’s hunch back, the result of a curvature of the spine, replied “Well, you are philosopher and a wise man, so you will not take amiss. The girl said she became frightened when she saw you because of your appearance.”
许多年以前，在汉堡，神学哲学家Moses Mendelssohn爱上了一个名叫Fruntje的妩媚女子。他拜见了对方的父亲Guggenheim，倾诉了对他女儿的爱意。Guggenheim看着Mendlessohn由脊椎弯曲造成的驼背 ，回答说：“呃，您是哲学家，聪明人，您不会误解。我的女孩说过，她看到您的外貌就害怕。”
This did not surprise Mendelssohn, and he immediately asked to speak with Fruntje. Although she avoided looking at him throughout the conversation, Mendelssohn was able to lead the conversation to the subject that was on his mind. Timidly, Fruntje asked if he too, believed in marriages that were made in heaven. Mendelssohn said that yes he did, and then went on to relate an unusual story: “As you know, they call out in Heaven at the birth of a boy, ‘This one will get that girl for a wife.’ When I was born, my future wife was also thus announced, but it was added, ‘She will, alas, have a terrible bump.’ I shouted, ‘Oh, Lord, a girl who is humpbacked will very easily become bitter and hard. A girl should be beautiful. Good Lord, give the hump to me, and let her be handsome and well formed!”
Mendelssohn对此并不惊讶。他马上提出要和Fruntje谈谈。Fruntje在交谈时目光始终没有落在Mendelssohn身上，然而Mendelssohn却把谈话引到了心里要说的话题。Fruntje问他是否相信婚姻天缔，Mendelssohn说他相信，接着又说了一个离奇的故事：“你知道，男孩出生时，天上会有人高声说，‘这个男孩要娶那个女孩为妻。’在我出生时，他们也这样宣布我的未婚妻，但是还加了一句，‘唉，她的背驼得厉害。’我叫了起来，‘啊，主呀，女孩驼背生活自然痛苦艰难。女孩可应当漂漂亮亮。善良的主呀，就让我驼背，让她美丽出众、身材匀称吧！”
Fruntje immediately accepted his proposal and soon became the faithful and devoted wife of Mendelssohn.
Fruntje立刻接受了求婚，不久就成了Mendelssohn的忠实尽心的妻子。
One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"
一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸， ”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”

Hospitality
The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate. The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied theboy.

Travel Expenses
A businessman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan. The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41. The loan officer said, "We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?"
The business man replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for 15 bucks?"
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”
我喜欢中国新年比喜欢其它任何节日更甚。这是一个专为休息和欢乐的时间。我不需要读书。我穿好衣服，吃好东西。我每天从早到晚日子过得轻松愉快。我和上帝一样快乐。

1, An Actor and a Clergyman
At a banquet honoring a leading actor, the actor was asked to recite something for the pleasure of his guests. He consented and asked if there was anything special that anyone in the audience would like to hear.
After a moment’s pause, an old clergyman asked, “ Could you, sir, recite the Twenty-third Psalm?”
The actor was puzzled but agreed to this request upon one condition, that after he had recited it, that the clergyman do the same.
Initially, the clergyman protested, arguing that he was not an elocutionist. However, seeing that this was the only way the actor would grant his request, he finally agreed.
The actor began the psalm, holding the audience spellbound from start to finish – after which there was a great burst of applause from the guests.
Then it was the clergyman’s turn. The psalm was recited, and when it was done, there was not a single ripple of applause from the audience, but every guest had their head bowed and not one was dried eyed.
The actor then put his hand on the shoulder of the old clergyman, and with a trembling voice exclaimed, “ I reached your eyes and ears, my friends; this man reached your hearts. I know the Twenty-third Psalm; this man knows the Shepherd.”
演员和牧师
在表彰一位主要演员的宴会上，大家要求那演员朗诵一个，给来宾助兴。他接受了要求，并问听众中是否有人要听什么特殊的东西。
静场一会儿之后，一位上了年纪的牧师问：“先生， 您能朗诵诗篇第23篇吗？”
演员有点茫然，但是同意了这个请求，不过有个条件，在他朗诵之后，牧师也要朗诵。
起初，牧师不同意，说自己不会朗诵。不过，他看到只有照办，演员才会同意他的请求时，还是答应了下来。
演员朗诵起诗篇，自始至终让听众入迷。朗诵结束后，宾客中响起一阵哗哗的掌声。
随后，轮到牧师了。诗篇声响起又落下，听众中鸦雀无声，但是每个客人都低着头，两眼湿湿的。
这时，演员把手放在老牧师的肩膀上，声音颤抖地高声说：“我只触及诸位的双眼和双耳，这位先生触动了诸位的心。我只知道诗篇第23篇，这位先生了解我们的牧人。”
2.
Many years ago in the city of Hamburg, the saintly philosopher Moses Mendelssohn fell in love with a charming woman named Fruntje. He approached her father, Guggenheim, to inform him of his love for her. Guggenheim, referring to Mendelssohn’s hunch back, the result of a curvature of the spine, replied “Well, you are philosopher and a wise man, so you will not take amiss. The girl said she became frightened when she saw you because of your appearance.”
许多年以前，在汉堡，神学哲学家Moses Mendelssohn爱上了一个名叫Fruntje的妩媚女子。他拜见了对方的父亲Guggenheim，倾诉了对他女儿的爱意。Guggenheim看着Mendlessohn由脊椎弯曲造成的驼背 ，回答说：“呃，您是哲学家，聪明人，您不会误解。我的女孩说过，她看到您的外貌就害怕。”
This did not surprise Mendelssohn, and he immediately asked to speak with Fruntje. Although she avoided looking at him throughout the conversation, Mendelssohn was able to lead the conversation to the subject that was on his mind. Timidly, Fruntje asked if he too, believed in marriages that were made in heaven. Mendelssohn said that yes he did, and then went on to relate an unusual story: “As you know, they call out in Heaven at the birth of a boy, ‘This one will get that girl for a wife.’ When I was born, my future wife was also thus announced, but it was added, ‘She will, alas, have a terrible bump.’ I shouted, ‘Oh, Lord, a girl who is humpbacked will very easily become bitter and hard. A girl should be beautiful. Good Lord, give the hump to me, and let her be handsome and well formed!”
Mendelssohn对此并不惊讶。他马上提出要和Fruntje谈谈。Fruntje在交谈时目光始终没有落在Mendelssohn身上，然而Mendelssohn却把谈话引到了心里要说的话题。Fruntje问他是否相信婚姻天缔，Mendelssohn说他相信，接着又说了一个离奇的故事：“你知道，男孩出生时，天上会有人高声说，‘这个男孩要娶那个女孩为妻。’在我出生时，他们也这样宣布我的未婚妻，但是还加了一句，‘唉，她的背驼得厉害。’我叫了起来，‘啊，主呀，女孩驼背生活自然痛苦艰难。女孩可应当漂漂亮亮。善良的主呀，就让我驼背，让她美丽出众、身材匀称吧！”
Fruntje immediately accepted his proposal and soon became the faithful and devoted wife of Mendelssohn.
Fruntje立刻接受了求婚，不久就成了Mendelssohn的忠实尽心的妻子。
One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"
一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸， ”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”
