譯文：

1--你知道圣誕節(jié)是關(guān)于什么的嗎？
2--不知道。我的老師曾經(jīng)告訴過我一次，但我沒記住。
1--你看，圣誕節(jié)這個單詞里面有一個“圣”。
2--哦，是基督的生日。
1--實(shí)際上，現(xiàn)在大部分美國人都把圣誕節(jié)看成是互贈禮物的節(jié)日，卻忘了它還有宗教因素。
2--是的，我老師曾告訴過我。不過我給忘了。我知道另一個關(guān)于宗教的額節(jié)日，基督復(fù)活的節(jié)日，感恩節(jié)，對不對？
1--感恩節(jié)？不是的，你說的是復(fù)活節(jié)。關(guān)于感恩節(jié)你知道多少？
2--我知道人們在那一天吃火雞，僅此而已。
1--實(shí)際上感恩節(jié)是美國的全國性節(jié)日，這與美國的歷史密不可分。當(dāng)初英國人到達(dá)美洲大陸，資源不夠，整天挨餓，所以他們現(xiàn)在用這個節(jié)日感謝救助過他們的土著印第安人。
感恩節(jié)放假幾天？
2--一天。
1--才一天？
