CHRISTMAS
NATAL
1 If you try to catch a train, a bus or an airplane on December 24th, you may have difficulty in finding a seat. This is the day when many people are traveling home to be with their families on Christmas Day, December 25th.
1 Se vocĂȘ tentar pegar um trem, um ĂŽnibus ou um aviĂŁo no dia 24 de dezembro, poderĂĄ ter dificuldade em encontrar um assento. Este Ă© o dia em que muitas pessoas viajam para casa para estar com suas famĂ­lias no dia de Natal, 25 de dezembro.
For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year, it combines the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ with the traditional festivities of winter.
Para a maioria das famílias britùnicas, esta é a festa mais importante do ano, pois combina a celebração cristã do nascimento de Cristo com as festividades tradicionais do inverno.
2 On Sunday before Christmas many churches hold a carol service where special hymns are sung. Sometimes carol-singers can be heard on the streets as they collect money for charity.
2 No domingo antes do Natal, muitas igrejas celebram uma cerimÎnia de cùnticos de Natal em que são cantados hinos especiais. Por vezes, ouvem-se nas ruas cantores de cançÔes de Natal que recolhem dinheiro para obras de caridade.
Most families decorate their houses with brightly-colored paper, and they usually have a Christmas tree in the corner of the front room, glittering with colored lights and decorations.
A maior parte das famĂ­lias enfeita as suas casas com papel de cores vivas e, normalmente, tĂȘm uma ĂĄrvore de Natal no canto da sala da frente, a brilhar com luzes coloridas e decoraçÔes.
3 There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas, but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. Small children believe that their gifts come from Santa Claus.
3 HĂĄ muitas tradiçÔes relacionadas com o Natal, mas talvez a mais importante seja a entrega de presentes. Os membros da famĂ­lia embrulham as suas prendas e deixam-nas no fundo da ĂĄrvore de Natal para serem encontradas na manhĂŁ de Natal. As crianças pequenas acreditam que os seus presentes vĂȘm do Papai Noel.
Their parents tell them that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole and, on the night before Christmas, he travels the world in a sled pulled by reindeer. He goes down the chimneys of houses to leave gifts only for children who have been good. At some time on Christmas Day, the family will sit down to a big turkey dinner followed by desserts specially prepared for the occasion.
Os pais dizem-lhes que o Papai Noel vive no PĂłlo Norte e que, na noite anterior ao Natal, viaja pelo mundo num trenĂł puxado por renas. Ele desce pelas chaminĂ©s das casas para deixar presentes apenas Ă s crianças que se portaram bem. No dia de Natal, a famĂ­lia senta-se Ă  mesa para um grande jantar de peru, seguido de sobremesas especialmente preparadas para a ocasiĂŁo.
4 Later in the afternoon, they may watch the Queen on television as she delivers her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom. If they have room for even more food they may enjoy a piece of Christmas cake. December 26th is also a public holiday, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or be a spectator at one of the many sporting events.
4 No final da tarde, podem assistir Ă  transmissĂŁo televisiva da mensagem tradicional de Natal da Rainha para o Reino Unido. Se houver espaço para mais comida, podem saborear uma fatia de bolo de Natal. O dia 26 de dezembro Ă© tambĂ©m feriado e esta Ă© a hora de visitar amigos e familiares ou assistir a um dos muitos eventos desportivos.

THANKSGIVING
DIA DE AÇÃO DE GRAÇAS
In 1620 one of the first British settlements in America was established in Massachusetts. These settlers, known as Pilgrims, had come to America to freely practise their religion. They arrived in November, when it was too late to plant crops. Although many people died, the Pilgrim settlement survived the winter because of help from Indians who lived nearby.
Em 1620, uma das primeiras colÎnias britùnicas na América foi estabelecida em Massachusetts. Estes colonos, conhecidos como Peregrinos, tinham vindo para a América para praticar livremente a sua religião. Chegaram em novembro, quando jå era demasiado tarde para plantar. Embora muitas pessoas tenham morrido, a colÎnia dos Peregrinos sobreviveu ao inverno graças à ajuda dos índios que viviam nas proximidades.
The Indians taught the Pilgrims about corn and showed them where to fish. The next November, after the crops were harvested, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God at a feast to which they invited the Indians.
Os Ă­ndios ensinaram os peregrinos sobre o milho e mostraram-lhes onde pescar. No mĂȘs de novembro seguinte, apĂłs a colheita, os peregrinos deram graças a Deus numa festa para a qual convidaram os Ă­ndios.
Every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Families and friends get together for a big feast. The meal usually includes roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, a sweet sauce made from cranberries, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. What a meal! It’s not surprising that a recent Thanksgiving tradition is to sit after dinner in front of the TV watching a professional football game.
Todos os anos, os americanos celebram o Dia de Ação de Graças. As famílias e os amigos juntam-se para um grande banquete. A refeição inclui normalmente peru assado com recheio e molho, um molho doce feito de arandos, batatas doces e tarte de abóbora. Que refeição! Não é de admirar que uma tradição recente do Dia de Ação de Graças seja sentar-se depois do jantar em frente à televisão a ver um jogo de futebol profissional.

GHOSTS AND WITCHES
FANTASMAS E BRUXAS
Halloween means “holy evening”, and takes place on October 31st. Although it is a much more important festival in the United States than Britain, it is celebrated by many people in the UK. It is particularly connected with witches and ghosts.
Halloween significa "noite santa" e tem lugar a 31 de outubro. Embora seja uma festa muito mais importante nos Estados Unidos do que na GrĂŁ-Bretanha, Ă© celebrada por muitas pessoas no Reino Unido. EstĂĄ particularmente ligado Ă s bruxas e aos fantasmas.
At parties people dress up in strange costumes and pretend they are witches. They cut horrible faces in pumpkins and other vegetables and put a candle inside, which shines through the eyes. People may play difficult games such as trying to eat an apple from a bucket of water without using their hands.
Nas festas, as pessoas vestem-se com fatos estranhos e fingem que são bruxas. Cortam caras horríveis em abóboras e outros legumes e colocam uma vela no interior, que brilha através dos olhos. As pessoas podem fazer jogos difíceis, como tentar comer uma maçã de um balde de ågua sem usar as mãos.
In recent years children dressed in white sheets knock on doors at Halloween and ask if you would like a “trick” or “treat”. If you give them something nice, a “treat”, they go away. However, if you don’t, they play a “trick” on you, such as making a lot of noise or spilling flour on your front doorstep!
Nos Ășltimos anos, crianças vestidas com lençóis brancos batem Ă s portas no Dia das Bruxas e perguntam se querem uma "travessura" ou um "doce". Se lhes dermos algo de bom, uma "guloseima", elas vĂŁo-se embora. No entanto, se nĂŁo der, elas pregam-lhe uma "partida", como por exemplo fazer muito barulho ou entornar farinha na sua porta!
