《感恩节的先生们》由欧·亨利所著。欧·亨利是十九世纪末二十世纪初美国著名短篇小说家。他的小说结局常常出人意料、令人吃惊。这本《感恩节的先生们》也不例外。
这本书讲述了一位流浪汉皮特与一位老先生在感恩节发生的故事。这两个人有一个奇怪的约定:每年感恩节,皮特都会坐在长椅上等待老先生的到来。而老先生每次都会赴约,并请他吃一顿丰盛的饭菜。这个约定持续了九年之久,只是到了第十个年头,皮特在半路上被请进一座大宅子并饱餐一顿。原来宅子的主人有人有一个奇怪的规矩,在感恩节正午请一位饥饿的路人大快朵颐一番。而饱食过后的皮特想起了与老先生的约定,但他还是赴了约。为了不让老先生失望,皮特艰难地吃完了所有食物。最终,皮特由于吃的太撑而被送进了医院。令人诧异的是,老先生也同样被送进了医院,只不过结果恰恰与皮特相反,他是饿晕的。
我认为这位老先生是一个很有诚信、很善良且有一颗慈善的心的人。他能在每年感恩节都请皮特吃饭且从不爽约,而且在第十个感恩节,他宁愿自己饿得皮包骨头,还用自己身上仅剩的一点钱去请皮特吃饭。老先生这种令人钦佩的慈善不仅是每年的一顿饭,更是为了慈善能够牺牲自己的某些物质资源的心。慈善重得不是你去用何行为来表达“慈善”二字,而是你有一颗慈善的心。老先生一生茕茕孑立,但是他一直都想把这颗慈善的心传承下去,可见他对拥有一颗慈善的心是有多么重视。这位老先生把“慈善”发挥得淋漓尽致,也为我们做了一个很好的榜样。
老先生不仅有一颗慈善的心,更有诚信。他完全可以把请皮特吃饭的.钱留着自己用,但在金钱与诚信这道二选一的选择题上,他选择了诚信。他宁可自己挨饿也不愿违背自己的诺言。多少人拜倒在金钱的“石榴裙”下,却忘记了做人要“言而有信”这个最基本的道理。金钱能带给你物质的享受,但诚信却能带给你一种心安理得。一个人即使再有钱,但失了诚信这些钱又如何?在我看来,诚信比金钱更重要,因为诚信是一种最基本的道德品质。
比起老先生的慈善与诚信,皮特则体现了一位绅士的风度。尽管他从宅子里出来已经吃得很撑,可他还是勉强吃完了老先生为他点的食物,为的只是不让老先生失望。其实他完全可以拒绝老先生的邀请,但当他看到老先生因为助人而感到快乐的那双明亮的眼睛时,便强忍着,假装狼吞虎咽般地吃完了。皮特虽为流浪汉,可他这种为了“成全”别人而咽下自己的苦楚的风度,实在可以被称为一名“绅士”。
其实绅士的称呼不应只是对那些彬彬有礼,举止优雅的达官贵人,更应对那些同样具备这些风度但或许只是普通百姓的人,哪怕他是一位流浪汉。

Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed[2]. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumptkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.
Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings.
