  【Cyburkey Thursday: the Wired Thanksgiving】

 

  【Introduction】

 

  On Thanksgiving, the internet is often used for looking up recipes.Try to memorize your childhood and feel warm from this article,although the festival is not popular here in our country.

 

  11月的第四个星期四是感恩节。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日,也是美国人合家欢聚的节日,因此美国人提起感恩节总是备感亲切。

 

  美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日( holiday ),它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。

 

  感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄,还有葡萄干 布丁、碎肉馅饼、各种其他食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁,其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是烤火鸡( roast turkey )和南瓜馅饼( pumpkin pie ),这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统和最受人喜爱的食品( food )。

 

  人人都赞成感恩节大餐必需以烤火鸡为主菜。火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收从中流出来的美味汁液,但烹饪技术常因家庭和地区的不同而各异,应用什么填料也就很难求得一致。

  Cyburkey Thursday: the Wired Thanksgiving

 

  From games of touch football with my older brother on the front lawn to the aroma of roasted turkey, fresh-baked rolls and sweet potato casserole that filled our home, my fondest memories of childhood revolve around Thanksgiving Day, my favorite holiday. Kids today may have similar memories to cherish as they get older, but they‘ll probably also have a few others that didn‘t exist in the pre-Internet era, when I was coming up: "Thanksgiving Screensavers," for example, or "Thanksgiving Day Excel Templates" and "Thanksgiving MySpace profile themes." (People really search for these things online. I can‘t make this stuff up.)

 

  There are lots of surprises, actually, when you look at Thanksgiving Day Internet activity. Contrary to industry buzz, the busiest day for online shopping, in terms of market-share of site visits, isn‘t Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) or even Cyber Monday (the following Monday). For the past four years, it‘s been Thanksgiving Day itself — I need a catchy phrase, like Brown Thursday or perhaps Cyburkey Day —

 

  The week of Thanksgiving also marks the year‘s lowest volume of searches on the term "diet." And it marks the peak of online searches for the term "depression," perhaps related to the failure to stick with our diets or, more likely, because we‘re stuck with — or without — our families. The good news, however, is that searches for "depression" and popular antidepressant medications have declined overall since Thanksgiving 2006.

 

  Another search that hits a peak around Thanksgiving is "engagement rings" — that term logs the most searches during the week before Thanksgiving and during the week of Valentine‘s Day. Offline, most jewelers report that the busiest weeks for engagement ring shopping are those between Chrismas and New Year‘s (probably because most proposals occur on either Christmas Day or New Year‘s Eve).来源:北京新航道托福培训 So, why does the online shopping spike take place a week earlier? My analyst team offers the "ultimatum theory" — to which I don‘t subscribe — as an answer. They think the online spike is likely caused by the potential bride‘s ultimatum: If she‘s going to bring her boyfriend home to meet the parents, she had better not be going empty handed. But as the only man in this particular debate, I subscribe to a research-mission theory that I call: "I don‘t want to get ripped-off at the jewelry store." I think the name is pretty self-explanatory.

 

  Beyond retail and rings, Cyburkey Day is a day spent searching on terms related to my favorite thing: food. Recipe searches reveal that most of us don‘t start menu planning until Thanksgiving week. And if last year is any indication, they also reveal that our favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is the holy trinity of desserts: "pumpkin pie," "pecan pie" and "apple pie." After desserts, people search mostly for the old standbys — "sweet potato casserole" and "green bean casserole." Turkey-themed MySpace profile‘s excepted, its nice to see that some things never change.
