Thanksgiving 感恩节 ACT II教师讲解版视频
Later that afternoon. The Stewart family and Harry and Michelle are sitting around the table. They are ready to have their Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Philip:OK, everybody. I want to welcome Harry and his daughter Michelle to Thanksgiving with us.
Harry:Thank you, Dr. Stewart.
Philip:Call me Philip.
Harry:OK.
Philip:But first, I think we should take a moment and remember the meaning of Thanksgiving.
Harry:Philip, I took Michelle to a school play about the first Thanksgiving.
Philip:Well, why don't you tell us about that, Michelle?
Michelle:Thanksgiving was about the Pilgrims, the first settlers in America. They shared the first harvest with the Indians and gave thanks.
Philip:All right. Then in that spirit let's each of us give thanks. Each in his own way. Who wants to begin?
Grandpa:I will. I give thanks for being here with my family and for being well, so I can enjoy you all.
Robbie:All right! We love you, Grandpa.
Susan:I'd like to give thanks for a healthy year, a good job, and for meeting Harry and Michelle.
Harry:We'd like to give thanks for meeting Susan and the Stewart family.
Michelle:I love you, Daddy.
Susan:[speaking softly to Harry]. Thanks, Harry.
That was very kind of you.
Robbie:I'd like to give thanks for Grandpa coming to live with us. And I'd also like to thank my math teacher for giving me a passing grade. And [with hope ] call me, Alexandra.
Ellen:Oh, Robbie!
Grandpa:She'll call.
Richard:You go first, Marilyn.
Marilyn:I'm thinking. You go first.
Richard:Well, you all know I'm working on my photo album. It's not finished yet. [He looks at Marilyn. ]And I'd like to thank Marilyn for being so patient.
Marilyn:Thanks, Richard. I should thank you for encouraging me to keep working on my fashion designs. I'm lucky to have a husband with an artistic eye.
Ellen:Oh, we have a lot to be thankful for. For the food on this table. Just like the Pilgrims.
Philip:I'll go along with that, Ellen.
Ellen:Well, help me serve, Robbie.
[They begin to serve the dinner.]
Later, after dinner.
Harry:It was a wonderful meal, Mrs. Stewart. Thankyou.
Richard: And now to see the end of the football game.
Philip:Exactly. [He gets up.]
Ellen:Where are you going, Philip?
Philip:Remember, the Michigan football game? And Michigan needs a touchdown.
Ellen:Did you forget something?
Robbie:Dad, your famous apple pie.
Philip:Just let me see the score, Ellen.
Marilyn:Go ahead, Philip. We should all take a little break before dessert.
[Philip and Richard go into the living room. The other members of the family take the dishes from the table. Then the doorbell rings.]
Ellen:Oh, who could that be? Oh, it must be Alexandra. I invited her to come by for dessert.
Robbie:You did?
[Ellen and Robbie go to the front door.]
Grandpa:I like Ellen.
[Alexandra enters.]
Robbie:You know everyone, Alexandra.
Ellen:No, she doesn't know Harry Bennett and his daughter Michelle.
Alexandra:Nice to meet you.
Harry &
Michelle:Hi.
Marilyn &
Susan:Hello, Alexandra.
Alexandra:Hi, Marilyn. Hi, Susan. Happy Thanksgiving.
Ellen:And Alexandra brought us a pumpkin pie.
Robbie:Please sit down, Alexandra. [calling] Dad, Richard-Alexandra's here.
[Richard and Philip come into the kitchen.]
Richard:Michigan needs a touchdown. Three minutes to play. Hi, Alexandra. Welcome.
Philip:Hello, Alexandra. Yes, Michigan needs a touchdown. One tiny little touchdown, with just three minutes to play.
Alexandra:You want Michigan to win.
Philip:How'd you guess?
Ellen:And Alexandra brought us a pumpkin pie.
[Philip walks to the oven. He turns around with a strange look on his face.]
Ellen:What happened?
Philip:We forgot to turn the oven on.
Ellen:We did? Philip, why don't you go watch the last three minutes of the game. I will serve coffee and pumpkin pie.
Philip:[He leaves.]OK. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Ellen:Robbie , would you bring the dessert plates. And, Marilyn, would you pour coffee, please.
Marilyn:Sure, Ellen.
Grandpa:How was your Thanksgiving dinner, Alexandra?
Alexandra:Just wonderful, Mr. Stewart. The Molinas are a large family. I love being with them.
Robbie:I'm glad you came by, Alexandra.
Alexandra:I am, too.
Philip:[He shouts from the living room.] Touchdown!Touchdown! Touchdown!
Grandpa:Great Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for. Michigan scored a touchdown. Alexandra came by. And nobody misses Philip's famous apple pie.
Ellen:Oh, Grandpa!
