Judy Woodruff: As we reported, public health officials are concerned too many people traveled this holiday week to be with loved ones. But air travel is still 60 percent below where it was at this time last year. Tens of millions have decided1 to stay home. Before the holiday begins, we gathered voices from around the country to hear their thoughts about approaching Thanksgiving differently this year.

朱迪·伍德拉夫:正如我们所报道的,公共卫生官员担心有太多的人在这个假日周去旅行,无法与亲人团聚。但是航空旅行仍然比去年同期低60%。数千万人决定呆在家里。在节日开始之前,我们聚集了来自全国各地的声音,倾听他们对今年感恩节的不同看法。

菲尔·怀特: 感恩节在我们家每年都有,这取决于镇上有多少家庭成员。当然,过去我们有20到25名员工。

Selena Pao: Sometimes, we will do turkey. Sometimes, we will do other things that are special to us. We like to do hot pot.

赛乐娜·保:有时,我们会做火鸡。有时候,我们会做一些对我们来说很特别的事情。我们喜欢做火锅。

Selena Pao: I would hate to either be a vector or potentially get my grandparents sick. I don't think I could ever forgive myself for doing something like that.

格里·亚当斯: 在我个人的情况下,这是我一生中得到的最有价值的东西之一。我需要氧气瓶。我要做透析。我有很多健康问题。我没机会再做什么了。为家人而活是我想活下去的最好理由。今年,我们不能冒这个险。

Jay Patel: I know it's around the corner, but I think many of us are just kind of buckling9 down and sort of doing our work right now, so much so that we haven't had a chance to really sort of think about the holiday season. At least — at least, I haven't.

杰伊·帕特尔: 我知道假期就在眼前,但我认为我们很多人现在都在努力工作,所以我们还没有机会真正思考假期的问题。至少——至少,我没有。

Deborah Potter: I decided to get a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings from a local farm store. And it's locally owned. And then I thought, well, geez, this is going to be too much food for me. So, I thought about my friends that have been sick lately. And I thought, I'm going to pick up these orders and bring them to my friends on Thanks — the day before Thanksgiving.

黛博拉·波特: 我决定从当地的农场商店买一顿感恩节晚餐。它是当地所有的。然后我想,天啊,这对我来说太好吃了。所以,我想到了最近生病的朋友们。我想,我要在感恩节的前一天把这些订单拿来送给我的朋友们。

Jacqui Falluca: My husband and I are very active in the community, so I work as a nurse and he has to travel for work. So we didn't think it would be safe to be around all of the extended10 family. So, we were actually going to announce that we're expecting our first child. I wanted to be there to tell my whole family at once. So, hopefully, they're watching this, and they will get to see.

杰奎·费卢卡:我丈夫和我在社区非常活跃,所以我是一名护士,而他必须出差。所以我们不认为所有的大家庭都是安全的。所以,我们实际上要宣布我们即将迎来第一个孩子。我想马上去告诉我的家人。所以,希望他们正在看这个,他们会看到。

Jay Patel: Thanksgiving and other holidays are there for us to just kind of reflect upon the year. And I wonder if that could be used — this can be used as an opportunity to reflect upon the impact11 of our actions this time of year.

杰伊·帕特尔: 感恩节和其他节日是我们反思这一年的地方。我想知道这是否可以被利用——这可以被用作一个机会来反思我们每年这个时候的行动所产生的影响。

Gerry Adams: It's better to sacrifice one Thanksgiving for many other future happier Thanksgivings.

格里·亚当斯: 为了将来更快乐的感恩节,最好牺牲一个感恩节。
