【感恩節火雞的由來】

Of all the symbols of thanksgiving， the turkey is most familiar and widespread.

It is considered as the most famous exemplary might be due to its sharp features， bright hues and majestic appearance.

Turkey is a common breed and a native of northern Mexico and the eastern United States.

Now it is being raised in large numbers and some of the commonplace species that are popular are Bronze， Narragansett， White Holland， and Bourbon Red.

Though there is no evidence that Turkey was available to the pilgrims， Massachusetts from where the practice originated， has a legend that it was served in the first Thanksgiving Dinner.

In a book written by the Pilgrims Governor Bradford， he mentions of wild turkeys while another Pilgrim describes in a letter sent to England how the governor sent four men out fowling who returned with turkeys， ducks and geese for the feast.

Though no accurate reports were found， a tale goes where turkey was their original choice but they could not find it. They cooked crow instead and served the local Indians.

As a part of tradition， turkey remains of central importance in the Thanksgiving menu surrounded by several other delicious dishes.

During the dinners， the family members may also utter a few lines of thanks or chant a special prayer.

首先熟悉一些雞類的.單詞，在英語中被廣為人知的turkey（火雞），我們為什么在感恩節吃火雞？因為十月里的火雞，膘肥體壯，“正是火雞欲上時”。自然成為了人們的首選目標。

火雞曾被哥倫布誤認為是珍珠雞.事實上，早在中世紀就有“印度雞”這種叫法.但是“印度”在這里指的是阿比西亞，珍珠雞在那里是野禽。

當哥倫布在墨西哥上岸，并相信自己到達的是印度時，他眼中的火雞就無辜被叫成了“印度雞”。所以后來“印度雞”就成了火雞的第一個正式說法.到了16世紀上半葉，火雞才被歐洲人擺上餐桌。

拿火雞做為感恩節的象征是再貼切不過了.因為火雞在北美印第安人眼中象征著男子漢的力量與女人的繁殖能力。
