#美國夏日時光# #夏季旅遊# #美國獨立日# 1776年7月3日,約翰·亞當斯預期大陸會議將通過《獨立宣言》,他在給妻子的信中寫道,這一天「將作為偉大的周年紀念日得到子孫後代的慶祝。它應得到隆重慶祝,大張旗鼓地舉行遊行、表演、遊戲、體育活動、放禮炮、敲鐘、點篝火、張燈結綵;從大陸的一端到另一端,從此時此刻直至永遠。」煙花表演因此成為了美國全國的娛樂活動,而七月四日的慶祝活動幾乎總是伴隨著一場煙花表演達到頂峰。美國各地的人們耐心等待表演在日落後拉開帷幕。

#USIndependenceDay
On July 3, 1776, anticipating the Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote to his wife that the day 「will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with [shows], games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.」
Thus, fireworks have become a national past time and Fourth of July festivities almost always culminate with a fireworks display. People across the country wait patiently for the sun to set and the show to begin.
