A Modest and Moveable Thanksgiving Feast Thanksgiving, after all is a word of action---W.J. Cameron.
一个适度而可移动的感恩节盛宴感恩节,毕竟是一句行动的话---W。J.卡梅伦。
We had finally decided to skip our traditional family dinner and make the holy journey to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(游行) with our five-year-old daughter, Kerry. We never anticipated what Kerry would take away from the experience, or how it would affect our lives for years to come.
我们最终决定跳过传统的家庭晚餐,前往梅西百货的感恩节游行(游行) 和我们五岁的女儿Kerry在一起。我们从未想过克里会从这次经历中得到什么,也从未想过它会对我们未来几年的生活产生怎样的影响。
We caught the dawn train from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central along with hundreds of other excited celebrants.

As we walked up to the entrance to the terminal, Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.
当火车驶入终点站时(终点站), 每个人都站起来,焦急地站在通道里,等待下车,朝着第五大道的游行路线走去。我们没有让我们的小女儿被人群粗暴地推着,而是等到所有人都走上混乱的站台。当我们走到航站楼的入口处时,Kerry发现一个无家可归的女人坐在阴影中,除了我好奇的女儿,其他人都看不见。
“What's that?” she asked. We looked at each other, caught off guard(措不及防) by the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we'd discussed how we would explain such nearly in
