美国的感恩节

在大多数国家，人们通常在特殊的节日吃传统的食物。在美国，一个特别的节日就是感恩节。过这个特别的节日有许多原因。对一些人来说，这是一个感谢在秋天收获食物的时节。所以在美国，它总是在11月份的第四个星期四。在此时，人们也会记得500年前第一批在美洲定居的英国漂泊者。这些漂泊者过了一个漫长、艰难的冬天，他们中许多人去世了。在来年的秋天，他们在新居感谢生活、感谢食物。现在，许多美国人仍然庆祝这个给予感恩的主意，他们通过和家人在家吃大餐进行庆祝。这餐的主食几乎总是火鸡——一只大鸟。

做火鸡晚餐

下面是为感恩节晚餐制作火鸡的一种方法：

首先，把一些面包片、洋葱、盐和一些甜椒混合在一起。

下一步，用面包混合物填满火鸡。

然后，把火鸡放在一个热烤炉里并烹煮几小时。

当它准备好后，把火鸡放在一个大盘上，覆盖上肉汁。

最后，把火鸡切成薄片，并伴着像胡萝卜和土豆这样的蔬菜一块吃肉。

1．First，put some butter on a piece of bread.

首先，在一片面包上涂一些黄油。

piece n. 片；块；段

它是可数名词。表示不可数名词的量时，可用“基数词＋piece(s) of＋不可数名词”。有时，可数名词也可用此结构。

There are two pieces of bread on the table.

桌子上有两块面包。

How many pieces of sandwiches do you need?

你需要多少片三明治？

【例题】We want three ______.Can you bring them to us?

A．piece of paper　     B．pieces of papers

答案：D
