The Pilgrims sailed sixty-six days, arrived in the New World in November of the same year. They first settled in a cornfield abandoned by Native Indians and named it Plymouth Plantation.
清教徒们在海上航行了66天,终于在当年的11月到达美洲新大陆。他们最初在当地印第安人废弃的一个玉米地z安顿下来,并把它命名为普利茅斯种植园。
They worked on the land with much difficulty and were beset by a devastating plague in which half of the Pilgrim died in the long winter of 1620. In the spring of 1621,an Indian brave named Squanto and her Wampanoag tribe came to their help.The tribe taught the Pilgrims how to work the earth and plant corn,beans,pumpkins,squash and other crops.
1620年那个寒冷而漫长的冬天,他们在这块土地上费尽千辛万苦地劳作着,困难重重,还遭遇了一场灾难性的瘟疫,一半人在这场瘟疫中死去。到了1621年的春天,一个名叫Squanto的印第安英雄率其瓦帕浓部落开始主动帮助他们。部落里的人们教这些清教徒怎样耕种土地,怎样种植玉米、大豆、南瓜以及其他农作物。
In late September 1621, the Pilgrims were pleased with their great harvest. To celebrate their first harvest, the Pilgrims wanted to thank God and the Native Indian. They invited Squanto and the entire Wampanoag tribe to celebrate together in a shared feast.
