9、全面思考的时机，要记住，尽管我们之间仍然存在分歧，我们要永远记住自己是美国人。今天我们感激所获得的恩赐，在当今世界它们还是那么难能可贵。我们可以与心爱的人共度时光，我们可以畅所欲言说出心中所想，我们有勇敢的军人在世界各地捍卫我们的自由，我们可以直视着孩子们的眼睛告诉他们，在这里，在美国，只要你愿意为之努力，就没有什么梦想不能实现。我们感恩，在这里，美国人不仅会把恩赐当作礼物去享受，还会把它们当作回报他人的机会。美国人相信我们有责任去关照那些不幸的人。此时此刻，当我们准备围坐在餐桌前享受感恩节大餐时，在东北还有许多家庭无法享受这些。飓风桑迪使他们失去了一切家园，财产，甚至深爱的亲人。他们的生活还
10、需要很长一段时间才能恢复正常。但在这些悲剧之中，我们仍会看到希望之光。在过去的几周里，我们看到联邦应急管理署的工作人员、民警卫队的军人，以及第一救援人员们在受灾地区不分昼夜地工作。我们看到了医护人员利用午休时间发放救援物资。很多家庭主动献出他们的空闲卧室，消防部门提供免费热水淋浴，巴士满载着来自数百英里以外的志愿者来到灾区。邻居们彼此分享着拥有的一切食物、水、电并且反复诉说能有一个栖身之所是多么幸运。作为美国人，我们英勇、慷慨、宽宏大量。当我们的兄弟姐妹们身处危难时，我们会挽起袖子就去帮忙我们这样做不是为了赞扬或者奖赏，而是因为这是应该做的。因为我们作为一个国家和民族同甘共苦、生死与共。在今天
11、，以及生命中的每一天，总有一些事情值得我们感恩。因此，我要对所有恪尽职守共同创造我们美好家园的美国人说，身为你们的总统我无比荣幸；我要对所有的军人说，身为你们的总司令我无比自豪。再次代表我的家人祝愿你们全家感恩节快乐！重点单词:1. perspective pspektv n. 观点2. luxury lk()r n. 享受3. midst mdst n. 当中，中间4glimmer glm n. 微光重点短语 / 亮点句式：1.
