虽然很多事物都在不断地发生着变化，但那份最纯粹的温暖与感动是不会变的。感恩节快乐！

So much can happen in just 3 years.

Around my Thanksgiving table that year, we made something real together,and gave each other (husband, mom,dad, sister, brother, friends) hope. It was a small gesture, but it meant something big.

I sit here today, 3 years later, a1)toddler ['tɒdlə] n. 学步的儿童toddler is sleeping in his bed, a 4-week-old is napping in my arms, and my mother is baking Thanksgiving pies and wondering what cheese to serve with the2)fig [fɪg] n. 无花果fig. Things change, sometimes in very big ways. We often don’t know why or how. And yet, we can and do adapt. We make do. We love even more deeply. We give thanks for the things going right. We give thanks to those who’ve stood by us in the worst of days.

My son, who I doubted would ever come, had it in his yogurt this morning.And now, he has a sister, and I feel like I have no words anymore. That’s a very,very beautiful thing.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

词组加油站

serve...with... 用……配……（来食用）

make do 设法达成

参考译文

短短的三年里可以发生很多事情。

在那年的感恩节餐桌上，我们一起做了一些有实际意义的事情，给了彼此（我的丈夫、妈妈、爸爸、兄弟姐妹和朋友们）希望。虽然这只是一个小小的举动，但它的意义巨大。

三年后的今天，我坐在这里，一个蹒跚学步的孩子正在床上酣睡，另一个四周大的孩子正在我的怀里打盹儿，而我的母亲一边烘烤着感恩节馅饼，一边思考着哪种奶酪可以搭配无花果。许多事物会发生改变，有时候改变是非常巨大的。我们往往不知道缘由，也不明白这种变化是如何发生的。然而，我们可以主动适应，并且努力做到。我们愈加深爱着对方。我们感恩生活的顺利。我们感恩那些在最难熬的岁月里支持我们的人。

我的儿子，这个我曾以为不会到来的生命，今天早上还沉溺在他的酸奶世界里。而现在，他有了一个妹妹，我觉得我对生活再也没有任何不满了。这一切真的真的很美好。

感恩节快乐！

名师考点小结

1. 4-week-old是一个合成形容词，由“数词+名词+形容词”构成，中间用连字符连接，其中的名词须用单数形式。有时这一结构也可像文中的例子一样，单独拿来作名词用。例如：

He is a ten-year-old boy. 那个男孩10岁了。

An eight-year-old. 一个8岁的孩子。

2. feel like在此意为“觉得”，feel是系动词，like是介词。例如：

I feel like a fool at that time. 那时我觉得自己像一个傻瓜。

拓展：

1) feel like感觉起来像，触摸起来像

The warm weather feels like spring. 这暖和的天气感觉就像春天。

2) feel like doing sth. 希望/想要做某事

We feel like walking after supper. 晚饭后我们想去散步。
