第一个在中国的7月4号美国国庆节

这是我第一个在中国度过的国庆节。

去年这个时候我回了美国一个月,所以现在感觉有点奇怪,也许是不习惯把。我不得不提醒我的中国朋友们这是一个美国的节日,所以我决定写点东西,关于美国的独立日,关于我们的国庆代表的意义。帮助中国更好的了解美国。

给不知道7月4号是什么日子的人
当我身在一个环境周围只有很少人知道今天是什么日子的时候,我觉得感觉很奇妙,难以言表。不过,这也让我拓展了我的视野,没错,跟中国一样,我之前也不知道中国的国庆节。让我来告诉你们把!

下面是一个简单的摘要,基本上是这个时候美利坚合众国大不列颠独立了。

After various changes to Jefferson’s original draft, a vote was taken late in the afternoon of July 4th. Of the 13 colonies, 9 voted in favor of the Declaration; 2, Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted No; Delaware was undecided and New York abstained.

John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. It is said that he signed his name “with a great flourish” so “King George can read that without spectacles!”

The task begun on July 4, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was not actually completed until August. Nonetheless, the 4th of July has been accepted as the official anniversary of United States independence from Britain.

详细的历史可以读这里,我在这里没有翻译,因为那种感觉不能用中文来表述。

当然,这一天和中国的节日一样,很多人会燃放烟花,如果你不在城市中,那你就只有自己去买烟花,自己到后院里去燃放了。曾经我和我一个表兄一起放过烟花,很刺激,有点危险。july 4th liberty
当然,烧烤和野营等其他活动也很常见,因为这个时候是美国的夏天,很多人都出去沙滩边或者湖边野营:热狗,牛排,汉堡包。我很怀念那些草坪椅子,啤酒,还有那些音乐。
