They did this on a piece of paper known as the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson is credited with writing most of it. He later became America's third president.美国人每年七月四日都会庆祝国庆节。一七七六年的这一天，殖民者宣布脱离英国独立。这个独立的行动是在一张众所周知的“独立宣言”的纸上完成的。这份宣言的撰写大部份要归功于托马斯·杰斐逊。他后来成为美国第三任总统。
Nowadays, most Americans have a day off work and get together with family and friends for a barbeque or a picnic. Most children shoot fireworks in the evening with their parents. The occasion is also marked by lavish fireworks displays in some communities. Of course, the flag is flown across America on the Fourth of July as a token of patriotism.现在大多数美国人当天都不上班，与家人及友人团聚一块儿烤肉或野餐。晚间大多数小孩则与父母一起施放烟火。有些社区也会以繁华的烟火展示来庆祝这一盛会。当然，七月四日这天全美各地国旗旗帜到处飘扬象征爱国情操。 长按识别二维码可关注该微信公众平台
