Section A Chinese to English
In any other week, today would merely be Thursday and the gathering of all these people the cooking and serving and cleaning a chore. But today it doesnt feel that way. The host perhaps its you stands up and asks that we give thanks, and we do, each in our own way. And what were thankful for is simply this, the food, the shelter, the company and, above all, the sense of belonging.
As holidays go, Thanksgiving is in some ways the most philosophical. Today we try not to take for granted the things we almost always take for granted. We try, if only in that brief pause before the eating begins, to see through the well-worn patterns of our lives to what lies behind them. In other words, we try to understand how very rich we are, whether we feel very rich or not. Today is one of the few times most Americans consciously set desire aside, if only because desire is incompatible with the gratitude not to mention the abundance that Thanksgiving summons.
Its tempting to think that one Thanksgiving is pretty much like another, except for differences in the guest list and the recipes. But it isnt true. This is always a feast about where we are now. Thanksgiving reflects the complexion of the year were in. Some years it feels buoyant, almost jubilant in nature. Other years it seems marked by a conspicuous humility uncommon in the calendar of American emotions.
And this year? We will probably remember this Thanksgiving as a banquet of mixed emotions. This is, after all, a profoundly American holiday. The undertow of business as usual seems especially strong this year. The shadow of a war and misgivings over the future loom in the minds of many of us. Most years we enjoy the privacy of Thanksgiving, but this year, somehow, the holiday feels like part of a public effort to remember and reclaim for ourselves what it means to be American.
That means giving thanks for some fundamental principles that should be honored every day of the year in the life of this nation principles of generosity, tolerance and inclusion. This is a feast that no one should be turned away from. The abundance of the food piled on the table should signify that there is plenty for all, plenty to be shared. The welcome we feel makes sense only if we also extend it to others.
叶子南译文：
在一年中其他星期，今天也只不过是个普通的星期四，所有的人聚在一起做饭上菜，清洗杯盘，少不了麻烦一番。但是今天则不感觉麻烦。主人也可能是你会站起来邀我们说一些感激的话，我们也会以自己的方式表示感激。我们感激的无非是裹腹之物、栖身之所、亲友陪伴，最重要的是那份归属感。
在众多的节日里，感恩节可以说是最令人深思的节日。今天我们会开始珍视那些习以为常的东西。要是我们在未开动就餐之时祈祷片刻，我们会看到在一成不变的生活背后的真正含义。换言之，我们会觉得我们是如此富有也或者不是，我们也会认为自己是富有的。今天是难得美国人会把欲望搁置一边的几个节日之一，哪怕是因为欲望和感恩节说倡导的感恩总是格格不入，更不用说那一桌冯胜的菜肴了。
人们不禁会觉得，除了宾客和菜式不同，感恩节年年依旧。然而则不然。这总是我们现在正享受的节日。感恩节反映我们这一年来的过得好坏与否。有些年这个节日是令人愉快的，几乎整个都是喜气洋洋的。有些年，它可能充满了美国人通常不会表现出来的谦卑。
那么今年呢?我们可能记住的是感恩节好似一个交织着复杂情感的盛宴。毕竟，这是一个具有深远意义的美国特色节日之一。一如既往的经济衰退在今年尤显严重。战争的阴影和对未来的担忧一直盘踞在我们许多人的脑海中。很多年我们享受着感恩节带给我们的愉悦，但是今年，它像是我们和国人一起努力去记住和沉思对作为美国人来说它意味着什么。
那么它意味着我们应该对一些基本原则而感恩，一些应该在这个国家生活每日被推崇的原则，也就是慷慨，容忍和包容的原则。这是一个不会有人会拒绝的节日。堆在桌上丰富的食物应该意味着还有很多可以被分享的食物。我们感受到的感激只有在别人也感激我们的时候才会显得有意义。

参考译文：In the 20th century, every division of modern science and technology advanced at an unprecedented speed. Breakthroughs were made in fundamental research fields. From the achievements in these fields, a large amount of technology derived and was quickly applied, which contributed to the dramatic improvement of human life. The wealth produced in this one hundred years exceeded the wealth accumulated in the previous one thousand years. The human society has shown an unprecedented prosperity.
However, with the remarkable development in every field of science and technology, the world of unknown has gradually unveiled itself. The conventional values and principles have been challenged. The wave of the new technological revolution has triggered significant reformations in production organizations, industry structure, society and life.
In a sense, the scientific and technological development has brought new challenges to humanity, especially to those responsible scientists and scholars. How to bring more humanity to scientific advancement? How to build a green world with peace and balanced, sustainable development in an age with a rocketing advancement in science and technology? Currently, these are topics of utmost importance.
