摘自維基百科上的“全国哀悼日”條目

According to this entry, Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims

。 根據這篇文章，許多美洲原住民沒有慶祝朝聖者

and other European settlers.

和其他歐洲殖民者

To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people,

的到來 。 對他們而言，感恩節提醒著他們數以百萬計的人民

the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their cultures.

遭受種族滅絕， 土地被盜和其文化受到殘酷打壓。

What!!!

什麼！！！

Isn't thanksgiving supposed to be a day celebrating the love, friendship, and mutual

難道感恩節不是慶祝美國原住民和朝聖者之間的愛，友誼和

gratitude between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims?

相互感恩的日子嗎？

According to some historians, it's probably not the whole story.

根據一些歷史學家的說法，這樣的想法可能去脈絡化了。

I think it's a good time to talk about another two PAAs that shed some light on the dark side

我認為現在是時候談論另外兩個PAA，以說明感恩節

of Thanksgiving

陰暗的一面。

What did the Pilgrims do to the natives?

朝聖者對美國原住民做了什麼？

And

以及

Did the natives help the pilgrims?

美國原住民是否幫助了朝聖者？

The first PAA is extracted from an article titled “A few things you (probably) don't

題為“您（可能） 所不知道的感恩節小知識”的文章

This article provided some details about what actually happened between the Native Americans and

本文提供了一些有關美洲原住民和朝聖者 之間實際發生的情況

the Pilgrims.

的細節

Here is an excerpt extracted from this article:

以下是本文摘錄：

When the pilgrims arrived in Cape Cod, they were incredibly underprepared.

朝聖者到達科德角時，他們的準備十分的不充足

...and then they showed up six weeks before winter with practically no food.”

再加上他們剛好在寒冬來臨前的六週著陸，也幾乎沒有準備食物。”

which is the perfect time as everyone knows if you ever lived in New England.

如果曾經住在新英格蘭地區你就會知道這個時間點真是「太好了」。

In a desperate state, the pilgrims robbed corn from Native Americans and storehouses

在狗急跳牆下，朝聖者搶了印第安人和其倉庫

soon after they arrived; but because of their overall lack of preparation, half of them

的玉米 。但是由於他們總體上缺乏準備，其中一半

still died within their first year.

仍然在第一年內死亡。

Okay, so the pilgrims raided Native Americans, which is definitely not good, but it is nothing

好的，朝聖者突襲並搶了美洲原住民，這絕對不是一件好事，但

compared to the things they are gonna do later on, which I will talk about it in the next PAA.

與他們之後做的事情相比，這恐怕根本不算什麼，我將在下個PAA中討論。

So the second article titled “The Vicious Reality Behind the Thanksgiving Myth” published

《 紐約時報 》發表的第二篇名為“感恩節迷思背後的殘酷事實”的文章

by The New York Times is written by David J. Silverman, a historian at George Washington

是由喬治華盛頓 大學 的歷史學家戴維·J·西爾弗曼

撰寫的。

According to this article, the standard story of thanksgiving tells us when the English

殖民地開始蓬勃發展。

However, the author argued that this version of the thanksgiving story sanitizes the power

但是，作者認為，感恩節的這一版本洗白 了朝聖者和瓦姆帕諾格之間的

politics between the Pilgrimand the Wampanoag, and distorts history by highlighting the alliance

權力政治，並通過強調結盟過程而忽視 其撕破臉的部分而扭曲了歷史 。 根據

西爾弗曼（Silverman）教授的

Here's what happened following the feeling good version thanksgiving story according

to professor Silverman:

多年之後，奧斯梅金（Ousmequin）依靠著其英國盟友的暴力威脅著Wampanoag部落內外

For years afterward, Ousmequin threatened rivals in and outside the Wampanoag tribe

在瓦薩昆（Ousamequin）在1660年去世後， 由於殖民者的侵略性擴張

And after Ousamequin's death in 1660, the English and the Wampanoags constantly teetered

好了，讓我們回顧一下，今天我們了解到加拿大人可能比美國人早

Alright, let's recap, today we learned that Canadians might start celebrating Thanksgiving

開始慶祝感恩節 。

before Americans do.

除了美國以外，還有許多國家和地區的人們慶祝感恩節。

There are a lot of countries and regions besides America where people celebrate Thanksgiving.

標準的感恩節故事可能被洗白了，這就是為什麼許多美洲原住民

The standard Thanksgiving story might be sugar-coated and that's why a lot of Native Americans

不慶祝感恩節的原因。

do not celebrate it.

今天的問題是，您認為我們應該停止慶祝感恩節嗎？

So today's question is, do you think we should stop celebrating Thanksgiving?

或者至少停止強調其與美洲原住民和朝聖者之間的關聯。

Or at least stop associating it with the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.

讓我知道你的想法。

Let me know your thought.
