Thanksgiving was Maria's favorite holiday. Her whole family came to visit, and there was always lots of good food to eat.

感恩节是玛丽亚最喜欢的节日。 她家所有亲戚都会来做客，还总有好多好吃的。

Maria's mom and grandmother made turkey and tamales. Aunt Carla brought the stuffing. Aunt Liz brought black beans. And Uncle Carlos brought sweet potato pie.

玛丽亚的妈妈和外婆做了火鸡和墨西哥玉米粽。 卡拉姨妈带来了馅料。 莉兹姨妈带来了黑豆。 卡洛斯舅舅带来了红薯派。

After dinner, the women talked. The men watched football, and the kids played games.

吃完晚饭，女人们拉家常。 男人们看橄榄球比赛，孩子们玩游戏。

But this Thanksgiving there was a snowstorm. Nobody could come. Thanksgiving is ruined, said Maria.

但是今年感恩节遇上了暴风雪。 没人能来啦。 “感恩节泡汤了。”玛丽亚说。

Maria and her family went outside. They saw some of their neighbors. Their neighbors were unhappy too.

玛丽亚和家人走到屋外。 他们看见了好几个邻居。 邻居们也都不开心。
