As I tried describing Thanksgiving Day to my in-laws (姻亲） in China, I could already see their eyes cloud over with 【小题1】 (confuse) and sense the questions arising in their minds. So I attempted 【小题2】 (translate) the holiday through things they were familiar with. I described the roast turkey as something similar 【小题3】  Beijing duck. I compared the annual Thanksgiving show to the  【小题4】 (year) Spring Festival Gala (联欢会) on Chinese New Year’s Eve. And I characterized 【小题5】 entire celebration as an American version of Winter Solstice (冬至) in China. Yet as much as my in-laws 【小题6】 (nod) and smiled, I recognized that even these explanations were a poor substitute. No words could fully describe the Thanksgiving celebrations :I had known in the US.

This 【小题7】 (be) the kind of disappointment you face in cross-cultural communication. Despite all the differences, we can still sit down together and have heart-to-heart 【小题8】(discussion) about each other’s traditions. So in the spirit of my American holiday, I silently gave a moment of thanks for 【小题9】 (have) in China such great in-laws, 【小题10】 cared enough to listen to their foreign daughter-in-law talk about Thanksgiving Day.
