It was the turkey that made it the worst Thanksgiving ever...well, it nearly did. All the family—my grandparents, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my cousin, my sister and I—expected the turkey. However, turkey is not the easiest thing to cook. It takes a lot of time to prepare and a lot of work to cook ... and there are a lot of chances for things to go wrong.
就是那只火雞使那次感恩節成為至今最糟糕的一次……呃，它確實是。所有的家人——我的爺爺奶奶，我的父母，我的叔叔阿姨，我的堂兄弟姐妹，我的姐姐和我——都很期待那只火雞。但是，火雞不是最容易烹飪的食物。它花了很多時間來準備，費了很多功夫來烹飪……有很多時候事情會出差錯。
My mum and dad bought a nice, big turkey a few days before Thanksgiving. My mum was proud of herself as she got it for a good price. The night before Thanksgiving, Mum got the turkey out of the fridge. Early the next morning, my sister and I helped her put some butter and salt on the turkey, and then mum put it in the oven. It looked like it would be delicious. My sister and I were excited.
我爸爸和媽媽在感恩節之前買了一只又好又大的火雞。媽媽很得意，因為她以便宜的價格買了火雞。感恩節前一晚，媽媽從冰箱里拿出火雞。第二天一早，我和姐姐幫她在火雞上涂黃油，撒鹽，然后媽媽把它放進烤箱。它看起來會很好吃。我和姐姐很興奮。
But soon, we noticed something was wrong. The oven was not heating up. Dad checked it closely. Then he said in a low voice, "It's broken!"
但是很快，我們發現有問題了。烤箱沒有在加熱。爸爸仔細檢查了烤箱。接著他低聲說道，“它壞了！”
Mum's heart nearly stopped. She didn't want her dinner to be a failure. We didn't know what to do. How were we going to feed everyone without the turkey? Mum looked worried.
媽媽的心臟差點停止跳動了。她不想讓她的晚餐失敗。我們不知道該做什么。沒有火雞我們要怎樣讓大家吃呢？媽媽看起來很著急。
Finally, Dad had an idea, and we all agreed with his suggestion to order pizza instead. After all, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and spending time with your family. If we did not have turkey, it was different but there was nothing awful about it.
最后，爸爸有了一個主意，我們也都同意他的建議，點一個披薩來代替。畢竟，感恩節是表示感謝以及與家人共度時光的。如果我們沒有火雞，感恩節會不一樣，但是也沒有什么特別糟糕的。
That evening, we shared a delicious pizza. We had a great time, talking, eating and playing games. Thanksgiving without turkey can still be fun!
那天晚上，我們共享了一個美味的披薩。我們過得很開心，聊天，吃飯，玩游戲。沒有火雞的感恩節仍然可以很開心！
