Thanksgiving Day (EXTRACT)

       “桥” 以前写作“橋”，木字旁说明古时桥梁的建造材料多为木材。“喬”表示高大或高出高过。桥最初是指将一根木头架在沟壑或溪流上的通道。
       后来桥又引申出了更丰富的内涵，成为一种与文化相关的符号。
       我国神话传说中有一座由喜鹊搭成的桥——鹊桥，传说牛郎和织女真挚的爱情故事感动了鸟神，每年七月初七这天，喜鹊们便在银河上用身体搭桥，以此让牛郎和织女顺利相会。
       民间传说中还有一座神秘的桥——奈何桥。奈何奈何，无可奈何。人们希望有一座桥能连接生和死，便想象有一座奈何桥是人死后的必经之路。
      “桥”还是连接与沟通的象征。比如，书本是一座桥，带着我们走进知识的大门； 自信是一座桥，引领我们走向成功的彼岸。

《诗经》中有一首叫《蒹葭（jiān jiā）》的诗歌这样写道：There is a poem in the Book of Songs called "jian jia" that goes like this:
（《诗经》是中国最早的诗歌集，收集于西周初年至春秋中叶（即前11世纪至前6世纪）。The Book of Songs is the earliest poetry collection in China, which was collected from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn period. (i.e. from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC）
蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。Reeds green, white dew for frost.
所谓伊人，在水一方。The beautiful girl is on the other side of the water.
