Besides getting a few days off from school, by far the best part of Thanksgiving Break is the actual food. Pie, pie and more pie. I’m not even full American but I love pie. There’s only one week I can get my pie fix in the entire year and that’s during Thanksgiving break. But with the family together and the days off from school one can get into a funk indulging during time away from the books. Here’s how to be productive during Turkey break.
除了放几天假，目前为止感恩节短假最棒的莫过于食物了。派，还有更多的派。虽然我的血统不全是美国人，但是我爱派。正式感恩节这周我能吃掉全年要吃的派。但是和家人在一起、不用去学校、远离书本可能转变为恐怖的沉迷其中。一起来看看怎么度过一个高效的感恩节吧。
Finish Projects and Start Studying for Finals
完成项目，开始为期末准备
If you’re like me, you probably have long-term assignments or projects due sometime after the break. A great way to get ahead is to use your break to complete assignments. It’s also important to note that after Thanksgiving break, we’ll be in December and that means finals. Might as well spend the extra days off clearing as much off your academic plate as possible.
如果你和我一样，你很可能有一个在节后截止的长期的作业或项目。提前完成的好方式就是利用这个短假去做。值得注意的是，感恩节假过后也就是时至十二月，这意味着期末。也许也该花上几天时间清清你学业上的账了。
As mentioned above, finals are around the corner and that means it’s time to hit the books hard. There’s never “too early” when it comes to studying for final exams and if you’ve got extra time between pumpkin pie and turkey legs, be sure to stuff it with textbook sessions.
正如上面所言，期末在即，到了刻苦啃书的时间了。当谈及准备期末之时可没什么所谓的“为时尚早”，如果你在南瓜派和火鸡腿之间有多余的时间，把教科书填充在期间吧。
Keep Up the Training
保持身体锻炼
Just because you’ve got a few days off from school doesn’t mean you get a few days off from your workout. If you’re somebody that exercises regularly, wants to, or is beginning to, having a holiday break in the middle of the semester can throw things off and can lead to falling off the wagon. During the break, be sure to keep up the jogs or push ups or whatever you do to stay in shape as it can help keep you from stress and gaining too much weight from all the holiday grubbing.
仅仅因为你有几天不去学校不意味着你可以逃避你的体育锻炼。如果你定期锻炼，想要或是刚开始，一学期过半时的节假日可能让你把它抛到一边，导致你的计划毁灭。短假中，确保坚持跑步、引体向上或是你保持身材的任何运动，这也能使你远离压力、不至于因为假期美食而增肥过多。
Make a Schedule
制作计划表
With days off from the usual routine, students can lose track of time and risk losing valuable time couching around. If you want to be productive during Turkey break, make yourself a little schedule of what you need to work on and then do it. A schedule is a key aspect in managing time efficiently.
节假脱离了日常起居时间，学生可能会失去时间概念而在沙发上度过宝贵的时间。如果你想要在火鸡假期高效多产，给自己一个待做事宜的计划表并且实施。计划表是高效管理时间的关键面。
