On February 3rd,1949,New York Harbor(港) was an exciting place.Many people were there to greet a ship from France.On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars(火车车箱) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America.These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train(Merci:a French word meaning "thank you").
After World War II (二战),a lot of factories,roads and farms in France had been destroyed.Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat.In the winter of 1947,a train was sent across the United States,stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop,people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine.Farmers gave food.Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money(零用钱).All the things were then taken to France by ship.
By 1949,the French had begun to recover(恢复) from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying "thank you" to America.French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of them were personal,like hand-made toys,children's drawings,or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car,the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces,with an American eagle on the front.The boxcars were taken to each state of America,where they were warmly greeted.
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums.The Merci Train came out of the war,but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace(和平).
1949年2月3日,纽约港(港)是一个令人兴奋的地方.在那里的很多人都在问候一个来自法国的船.船上的49个法国铁路货车车箱充满了法国人民带给美国人民的礼物.这些车箱来自从著名的谢谢火车(一个法语词,意思“谢谢你”).
  第二次世界大战后,在法国的许多工厂,道路和农田被毁.法国的许多人没有工作或钱,几乎没有穿的和吃的.1947的冬天,一列发自美国的火车,在沿线的城市和城镇停下.每一站,人们拿出了他们能给的任何东西.工人给了衣物和药品.农民给食品.家庭给了钱.连学校的孩子们把他们的零花钱都拿出来了.所有的事情都那么由船带到法国.
  1949,法国已开始从战争恢复的谢谢.谢谢火车开始了他们到美国的"感谢"之旅.法国人民在车厢里充满了礼物.它们中的大多数都是个人物品,象手工制作的玩具,孩子们的画,或明信片.但车厢本身可能是最有意义的礼物.在每一节车箱,法国人民画上他们所有40个省的图片,前面有一个美国鹰.这些车厢被带到美国的每个州,在那里他们被热烈欢迎.
  现在许多州仍然保持着他们的车厢.法国人送的礼物仍然可以在一些博物馆看到.谢谢火车来自战争,但现在提醒世界,各国家也可以在和平中一起相处.
