感恩節是每年11月的第四個星期四, 對吧？

Next is the word turkey. Turkey is a big bird, which we almost, I would say, exclusively eat at Thanksgiving.

下一個單字是火雞。火雞是一種大型的鳥類, 我個人認為我們通常只會在感恩節吃火雞。

Look at – his daughter is in the background facepalming. Oh, that's funny.

So, the president pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving to, I guess, show the turkey that it's not going to be slaughtered.

總統每年都會赦免一隻火雞, 我猜是想讓火雞知道牠們不會被宰來吃。

它的形狀看起來有點像羊角, 裡面通常裝滿新鮮水果或蔬菜。

According to this, it says it's a symbol of plenty.

根據這裡的說法, 它是豐饒的象徵。

So, whatever it is full of, it's usually just kind of overflowing with that.

所以不管裡面裝的是什麼, 通常都會滿出來。

It's to signify that you have a lot of, you know, food. You have enough of something.

它代表你有很多食物。代表某物相當充沛豐富。

So that's something you might see around Thanksgiving time.

It's more of a dessert in my mind anyway. It's jelly that's made of cranberries and it's really sweet.
