18、tates 第三篇：美国独立日中英简介 美国独立日Independence Day是美国的主要法定节日之一，日期为每年7月4日，以纪念1776年7月4日大陆会议在费城正式通过独立宣言。这一天会首先敲响费城的自由钟，各地居民自发地进行庆祝游行，政客会发表演说以颂扬美国传统的自由观念。从15世纪末起，英国移民。17世纪到18世纪前半期，英国在北美大西洋沿岸建立了13个殖民地，并加强了对殖民地人民的压迫和剥削，激起了当地人民和新兴资产阶级的抗拒。1775年，北美13个殖民地的人民起先掀起推翻英国殖民统治的独立斗争，组成了“大陆军，由华盛顿任总司令。1776年7月4日，殖民地代表在费城召开了其次次大陆
19、会议，通过了独立宣言，正式宣布建立美利坚合众国。 独立宣言是英属北美殖民地人民宣告独立的纲领性文件。独立宣言向全世界宣告：“联合一样的殖民地从今是自由和独立的国家。独立宣言的起草人是资产阶级民主派人士托马斯杰斐逊。来自各殖民地的56位代表在宣言上签了字。宣言的标题是美利坚十三国联合邦的一样宣言。宣言全文约2500字，分三个部分。第一部分说明资产阶级革命的基本原则，提出了著名的人权原则，宣言指出：“人类生而同等，造物者给予他们若干不行剥夺的权利，其中包括生命权、自由权和追求华蜜的权利。其次部分指责英国殖民当局的种种暴政。第三部分宣告13个殖民地独立，建立独立国家，断绝与英国的一切政治关系。独立宣
20、言反映了北美殖民地人民争取自由独立的愿望，激发了美国人民的自信念和傲慢感，极大地鼓舞了各阶层群众奋起参加独立斗争。独立宣言对争取各国人民的怜悯和支持，推动后来的欧洲资产阶级革命，特别是法国大革命及法国的人权宣言都产生了主动的影响。 独立宣言发表以后第5年的9月，英国军队主力在约克镇被击溃，被迫同美国讲和，并于1783年签订巴黎和约，正式承认13个殖民地脱离英国独立。美洲出现了第一个资产阶级共和国。后来，7月4日被定为美国国庆日。每年的这一天，在美国各地都实行隆重的盛典，进行歌舞、体育、游行等活动。早期的独立日庆祝活动主要是游行和演讲，有时还带有确定的宗教色调，以后增加了体育竞赛等户外活动。有一
21、个时期，美国人民燃放鞭炮、烟火庆贺国庆，20世纪以后，政府为防止发生人身事故和火灾明令取消了这种形式。每年的独立日这一天，全美大小教堂钟声齐鸣，而头一个敲响的是费城的自由钟。 Middle of the 18th century, the British colonies in the Americas and the United Kingdom have a rift.Colonial expansion, so that they have some kind of conscious and conscious of the British persecution, and the i

31、tates 第四篇：美国奴隶制起源-讲稿 The Beginning of Slavery in America 美国奴隶制起源 Hello, everyone!It is known that racial discrimination against the black people is an old problem in America which can be traced back to the colonial period.It was the dispute over Negro slavery that touched off the American Civil War
32、in 1862.Slavery developed almost side by side with the English-American colonies.After the colonists reached the New World, they found that one of the problems to be solved was the shortage of labor.The first blacks were brought into the colonies in 1619.Within a few decades, the demand for cheap la
33、bor led to a large slave trade.After tobacco was successfully planted and more rich people arrived in the colonies, especially in the South, the problem of labor shortage became acute.European adventurers began to capture Negroes in Western Africa and transported them to America.The slave traders, m
34、any of whom were from New England, made a big profit from what was called the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and America.Plantation owners of the South got the cheap labor they needed.The number of Negro slaves increased very quickly before America won its independence.After the Independenc
35、e War, Britain shifted much of its trade to other colonies.The price of tobacco fell sharply in America.Slave labor became less profitable and began to decline.Before long, America began its industrial revolution and the cotton gin was invented in 1793.The revolutionized cotton textile industry incr
36、eased the demand for cotton.To increase the production of cotton, cheap labor was needed.As a result, the number of Negro slaves stopped falling and black slavery revived.Since the South had abundant and suitable land for farming and thus needed a lot labor, many slaves were bought by those plantati
37、oners.Moreover, the Blacks cannot endure the bitter cold in the North.That is why large numbers of blacks were in the South.By 1860, there were about 3 million Negro slaves in the South who made up about one-third of the total population of the South.Before the Civil War, more than 98% of the Americ
38、an Negroes were in the South.An average Southern plantation was about 1000 acres with 100 slaves.They fed on horrible food which was made in the central kitchen or in the black slaves cabins.They had to toil all day long in the cotton fields, eating their noon-day meals in the fields.Black slaves we
39、re supervised by the cold-blooded overseers.Slave owners could beat, sell, or kill a slave without violating the law.Negro families were often broken when the master sold some of his slaves.Marriage of the slaves were regarded by the slave owner as a means to produce more slaves.A slave owner could
40、buy a man slave and marry him to a woman slave or vice versa.No slave was allowed to go out his master plantation unless he had obtained a written permission from his master.There were professional slave captors who would hunt down any slave in escape.The law did not allow anyone to teach the blacks
41、 how to read and write.It is no exaggeration to say that the Negro slaves were treated as farm animals.The only difference was that they could think and speak.If you want to know more about the miserable life of slaves, you can read Mrs.Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin or Solomon Northups 12 Years A Slave.Th
42、e conflicts between the South and the North concerning slavery led to the American Civil War.Were going to discuss that next session.Thank you. 第五篇：美国感恩节的起源 The origin of American Thanksgiving As is known to us, the Thanksgiving is one of the most crucial festivals in the United States and Canadas.H
43、owever, the historical origins of the festivals in the both countries are different from each other.Here Id like to introduce something about the origin of American Thanksgiving.In 1620,the boat called “may flower arrived in North America from Britain, carrying 102 pilgrims.Unfortunately, in the win
44、ter of this year, they encountered unimaginable difficulties, half of them dyingof hunger.Luckily, the native Indians provided pilgrims with the necessities in time.Whats more, they were so kind that they even taught pilgrims how to hunt, fish and plant corn,pumpkin.With the help of the Indians,the
45、immigrants finally overcame the difficulties and received a harvest.During the days of harvest celebration, according to religious traditions , immigrants rules the day of thanksgiving to god, and decided to show their gratitude to Indians.Immigrants invited them to celebrate the festival.In this da
46、y of the first Thanksgiving, immigrants and the Indians got together,chatting and eating happily.Immigrants were so grateful to god that they set off fireworks, held a grand banquet and enjoyed delicious turkeys.The first thanksgiving day was very successful.As a result,a lot of these celebration wa
47、ys remained for many years.In 1789, the first American president Washington declared November,26was the national Thanksgiving celebration.However, for a long time, every state holiday date still stipulated based on their own situation.It was not until 1863 that president Lincoln declared Thanksgivin
48、g day was a national holiday again.In 1941, Congress passed bill, the president Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving day throughout the country.Nowadays Thanksgiving holiday usually lasts form Thursday to Sunday.In western countries,it is time for people to express gratitude and share love.Besides,thanksgiving day is a wonderful feast for children in which children can enjoy excellent snacks.Generally, the thanksgiving day plays an very important role in todays Americans life.
