浅谈美国国旗的含义

浅谈美国国旗的含义

一、美国国旗的含义美利坚合众国的国旗旗面由13道红白相间的宽条构成,左上角还有一个包含了50颗白色小五角星的蓝色长方形。

50颗小星代表了美国的50个州,而13条间纹则象征着美国最早建国时的13块殖民地。

红色象征勇气,白色象征真理,蓝色则象征正义。

二、美国国旗简介美国国旗为长方形,长宽之比为19:10,为星条旗。

据华盛顿说:红色条纹象征英国,白色条纹象征脱离它而获得自由。

更普遍的说法认为,红色象征强大和勇气,白色象征纯洁和清白,蓝色则象征警惕,坚韧不拔和正义。

1818年美国国会通过法案,国旗上的红白宽条固定为13道,五角星数目应与合众国州数一致。

每增加一个州,国旗上就增加一颗星,一般在新州加入后的第二年7月4日执行。

至今国旗上已增至50颗星,代表美国的50个州。

每年6月14日为“美国国旗制定纪念日”。

在这一天,美国各地举行纪念活动,以示对国旗的敬重和对合众国的热爱。

三、美国星条旗诞生1777年6月14日由大陆议会正式批准的第一面正式国旗是星条旗。

旗杆一侧上方蓝色的矩形里有13颗星,但星星的排列方式却是不确定的,已知有若干种图型。

国旗的设计者霍普金森(Francis Hopkinson)议员可能想把这些星星安排成一个圆形,象徵(用国旗法的字眼来说)“一个新的星座”。

如今普遍把那种图型称为“贝齐·罗斯旗”(Betsy Ross flag),不过罗斯的后人们宣称,说她制作了第一面星条旗并使用了圆形图型是缺乏事实根据的。

普遍采用的星星排列是4-5-4或3-2-3-2-3,但也存在其他变化样式。

新的星条旗组成了1777年9月11日在布兰迪万河战役(Battle of the Brandywine)中携带的军用彩色旗的一部分,或许这是它第一次用于这种用途。

每个国家都有代表自己国情的国旗,国旗是一家国家的象征,也是一种标志。

不论是中国人还是美国人,都应该热爱自己的国家和国旗,同时也要尊重其它国家的文化,让社会和世界处于和平共处的大环境下和平发展。

History of the United States flag--4
• For all the controversy it is interesting to point out that the United States did not even have a standardized flag until 1912! Called the "Stars and Stripes," or "Old Glory," the flag is one of the most complicated in the world. No other flag needs 64 pieces of fabric to make. The current flag has 13 red and white alternating(交互的)stripes (representing the original 13 states) and 50 stars (each star represents one of the states of the Union) on a blue background.

美国旗

美国旗美国国旗别称“星条旗”(The Stars and Stripes)、星条旗最初的版本“古老的光荣”(Old Glory),呈横长方形,长与宽之比为19∶10。

主体由13道红、白相间的宽条组成,7道红条,6道白条;旗面左上角为蓝色长方形,其中分9排横列着50颗白色五角星。

红色象征强大和勇气,白色代表纯洁和清白,蓝色象征警惕、坚韧不拔和正义。

13道宽条代表最早发动独立战争并取得胜利的13个州,50颗五角星代表美国现有50个州。

1818年美国国会通过法案,国旗上的红白宽条固定为13道,五角星数目应与合众国州数一致。

每增加一个州,国旗上就增加一颗星,一般在新州加入后的第二年7月4日执行。

至今国旗上已增至50颗星。

每年6月14日为“美国国旗制定纪念日”。

在这一天,美国各地举行纪念活动,以示对国旗的敬重和对合众国的热爱。

美利坚合众国刚开始建立时国旗只有13颗星,不过这些星可不是胡乱排序的,它们围成了一个圆形,表示着十三个州的和睦相处。

[4-5]国徽主体为一只胸前带有盾形图案的白头海雕(秃鹰)。

美国国徽白头海雕是美国的国鸟,它是力量、勇气、自由和不朽的象征。

美国是世界上最先确定国鸟的国家。

国歌[6]美国国歌《星条旗》(the Star-spangled Banner)(曾译《星条旗永不落》,虽然这种译法使该歌曲与美国国家进行曲《The Star and Stripes Forever》重名,并且与英文原意不符,但该译法的使用依然相当广泛)诞生在巴尔底摩。

小学生用英文介绍美国国旗的作文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1The American Flag is Super Cool!Hi everyone! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about the American flag because it's one of my favorite things. The American flag is super cool and has a really neat design with stars and stripes. It represents the United States of America which is where I live.The flag has 50 stars on it. Each star stands for one of the 50 states that make up the country. My state, California, is represented by one of those stars. The stars are arranged in nine rows with six stars in the top and bottom rows and five stars in the middle rows. The stars are white on a blue background. This blue part of the flag is called the union or the canton.In addition to the stars, the American flag also has 13 red and white stripes. These stripes represent the 13 original colonies that became the first states when America was founded. The stripes alternate between red and white, with a red stripe onthe top and bottom. The colors red, white, and blue have important meanings on the flag.Red is for valor and hardiness. Valor means courage and bravery. The red stripes remind us of how brave the Americans were when they were fighting for independence from Britain. Hardiness means toughness. The early Americans had to be very tough to survive things like harsh winters and wars.White stands for purity and innocence. I think it represents how America was a new nation starting fresh when it was founded. The white stripes make the flag look bright and pure.Blue is for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. Vigilance means staying watchful and alert. Perseverance is not giving up easily. And justice is about being fair. The blue part of the flag reminds us to watch out for threats to America, keep working hard, and treat everyone equally.So those are what the colors of the flag mean. Now I'll tell you a bit about the history of how the American flag's design was created.The original American flag only had 13 stars and stripes to represent the 13 original colonies. It was created in 1777 during the Revolutionary War when America was fighting forindependence from Britain. The design was created by Francis Hopkinson, one of the Founding Fathers.As more states joined the United States over time, more stars got added to the flag. A new star would be added on the 4th of July after a new state officially joined. The number of stripes stayed at 13 though to honor the original 13 colonies.In 1795, two new stars and two new stripes were added after Vermont and Kentucky joined as new states. This made the flag look kind of weird with 15 stripes! So in 1818, Congress decided to just go back to 13 stripes for the original colonies and add stars for each new state.The current design with 50 stars came about in 1960 after Hawaii joined as the 50th state. The 50 star American flag design is what we still use today.I think the American flag has such a great design with all those stars and stripes. My favorite part is the stars because they make the flag look super pretty and galaxyish. I also really like the colors and what they represent about America's values.The flag design is so iconic and recognized all over the world. Whenever I see the red, white, and blue stars and stripes, it makes me feel proud to be an American. The flag reminds me ofthe sacrifice of the Founding Fathers who fought for America's independence from Britain. It also reminds me of how diverse America is with people coming from all 50 states andterritories.At school, we have flag ceremonies every week where we recite the Pledge of Allegiance while looking at the American flag. We place our hands over our hearts to show patriotism and love for our country. It's a really cool tradition.The American flag means so much to people in the United States. We display it proudly on holidays like the 4th of July, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day. You'll see flags waving outside people's homes, businesses, schools, and government buildings. My family even has a flagpole in our backyard that we put the flag on during national celebrations.Whenever I see the American flag gently waving in the wind, I feel very grateful to live in the United States. The stars and stripes fill me with American pride and patriotism. I hope you enjoyed learning about the awesome American flag! What do you think about the design? Let me know. Thanks for reading my essay!篇2The Amazing American FlagHi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the super cool American flag. The American flag is one of the most famous flags in the whole world. It has stars and stripes that make it look really pretty and special.The flag has 50 stars on it. Each star stands for one of the 50 states that make up the country of America. The states are like the different pieces that fit together to form the whole nation. Some states are big, some are small, some are on the east coast, some are on the west coast, but they all come together as one United States of America. And every single state gets a star on the flag! Isn't that neat?The stars are arranged in nine rows on the blue rectangle in the top left corner of the flag. This blue area is called the union. The stars are white on the blue background. I think the stars look like bright lights shining in the night sky. They make me think of hope and dreams shining brightly.Now let me tell you about the stripes on the flag. There are 13 stripes that go across the flag horizontally. They alternate between red and white. The red stripes remind me of red apples or red roses. The white stripes make me think of fresh snow or fluffy clouds in the blue sky. Aren't the colors pretty together?The 13 stripes actually stand for the 13 original colonies that came together to form the United States way back in 1776. The colonies decided they wanted to be free from Britain and start their own nation. After a big war called the Revolutionary War, they finally became a new independent country - the United States of America! The 13 stripes represent those brave original colonies.My favorite part of the flag is watching it gently waving in the wind. The stripes seem to flutter and dance as the breeze blows the flag around. It looks like the flag is alive and celebrating America with its movements! Flags are always raised up high on tall poles so everyone can see them soaring above.The American flag has such an interesting history behind all its stars, stripes, and colors. Back in 1777, the first design for the flag was created. It had 13 stars in a circle along with the 13 stripes, since there were only 13 colonies at that time. But as more states joined the United States over the years, more stars got added to the blue union area. Isn't that cool? The flag design keeps changing as the country grows.The person who gets credit for creating the first American flag was a woman named Betsy Ross. She was a seamstress who lived in Philadelphia. The story goes that George Washingtonhimself visited her shop and asked her to sew the first official flag for the new nation. How exciting it must have been for Betsy Ross to stitch together those first stars and stripes! Her flag design became the official symbol for the whole United States. What an honor!Seeing the American flag always makes me feel proud and patriotic. It represents the entire country - all 50 states joined as one nation under that famous star-spangled banner. The flag reminds me of the bravery, freedom, and hopes that America was founded upon so long ago.On special holidays like the 4th of July or Flag Day, you'll see the red, white, and blue flags decorating every street and waving from houses all across every town. It's like the whole country becomes dressed up in its best colors to celebrate its birthday and heritage. Parades, cookouts, fireworks - the flag is always there as a symbol of American pride and spirit.The flag makes me appreciate how diverse yet united America is as a country. The 50 stars show that we are a melting pot containing many different people, cultures, and communities. But we all come together as one nation under that same grand flag with its bold stars and stripes.I hope you've learned how special the American flag is after reading my essay! Next time you see that red, white, and blue banner soaring above, I hope you'll think about all the history and meaning behind those stars and stripes. The flag represents the entire story of America - its revolutionary beginnings, its growth into 50 united states, its hopes for liberty and justice for all. What other country's flag is as amazing and symbolic as that?Doesn't the American flag make you feel proud too? I know it fills me with appreciation for this great nation every time I see its brilliant stars shining and stripes rippling in the wind. U-S-A! U-S-A!篇3The American Flag Is Awesome!Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about the American flag because it is so cool. The flag has a really neat design with stars and stripes. It looks super pretty waving in the wind.First, let me tell you about the colors. The flag has three colors - red, white, and blue. These colors were chosen for special reasons. Red means valor and hardiness. Valor means being brave and hardiness means being tough. The white stripesrepresent purity and innocence. And the blue stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. Vigilance means being watchful, perseverance means never giving up, and justice is about being fair. Aren't those great meanings behind the colors?Next, let's talk about the stars. There are 50 stars on the flag, one for each of the 50 states. The stars are arranged in nine rows, with six rows having stars and three rows with just five stars each. The stars represent a new constellation - a group of stars that forms a picture in the night sky. But instead of a constellation picturing something from ancient myths, the stars on the American flag form a new constellation representing the united states. I think that's really clever!Have you ever noticed the funny shape of the stars? They don't look like normal five-pointed stars you might draw. These stars have two longer points and three shorter points. Stars in this shape are called "mullets" which is a funny word. I'm not sure why they chose that specific star design, but it makes the flag look extra cool and unique.Now let's move on to the stripes. There are 13 stripes on the flag - seven red ones and six white ones. These 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies that became the first states when America was founded. The red and white stripes also formthe colors of the first flag carried into battle by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War against Britain.Did you know that the design of the flag was decided way back in 1777? A group called the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act describing what the flag should look like. It said the flag must have 13 stripes and 13 stars (because there were only 13 states back then). Later on in 1818, after more states joined, Congress decided to keep the 13 stripes for the original colonies but add a new star for each new state. That's why we have 50 stars today!There are lots of special ways we use and respect the American flag. For example, we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag each morning in school with our hands over our hearts. The pledge is a promise to be loyal to the flag and the nation it represents. When the flag gets old and worn out, we hold special retirement ceremonies to burn it in a fire with respect instead of just throwing it away. Pretty neat, huh?We also use the flag to celebrate major national holidays. On Memorial Day, we honor soldiers who died serving our country by decorating graveyards with American flags. On Flag Day every June 14th, we have parades and events just to celebrate the flag itself. And on the Fourth of July, which is America's birthday, theflag decorates everything as we celebrate with fireworks, barbecues, and parades.There are so many other cool facts about the American flag, but I've run out of time to share them all. I hope you've learned how special and symbolic our country's flag really is. It represents the values, history, and people of the United States. To me, seeing the stars and stripes waving proudly fills me with patriotism and makes me feel proud to be an American. The American flag is awesome!篇4The Amazing American FlagHi, my name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about the awesome American flag! The American flag is also called the Stars and Stripes, which I think is a really cool name. It has stars and stripes on it - how neat is that?First, let me tell you about the stars. The stars represent the 50 states that make up the country of America. There are 50 stars on the flag, one for each state. The stars are arranged in nine rows, with six rows having six stars and three rows having five stars. The stars are white on a blue background. Pretty snazzy, right?Now let's talk about the stripes. There are 13 stripes that go horizontally across the flag. They alternate between red and white. The red stripes represent the blood shed by brave soldiers fighting for America's freedom. The white stripes represent peace and purity. I think having both colors is a good reminder that freedom doesn't come for free - people had to fight hard for it!The colors of the flag each have special meanings too. Red stands for hardiness and valor, white stands for purity and innocence, and blue stands for vigilance, perseverance and justice. I had to look up what some of those words meant, but I think it's important to know what the colors symbolize.Speaking of the colors, did you know there are specific rules about what shades of red, white and blue can be used? The red has to be a very bright, tomato-y red called "Old Glory Red." The blue has to be a very rich navy blue. And the white has to be a pure, bright white. There are no off-colors allowed on the American flag!The current design of the flag with 50 stars has been used since 1960 when Hawaii became the 50th state. Before that, there were versions with fewer stars as more states joined theunion over time. But the 13 stripes have remained the same to honor the original 13 colonies that became the first states.There are also rules about how the flag should be displayed and treated with respect. It should never touch the ground, be worn as clothing, or have anything printed on it. You have to fold it up in a special way too with the blue star field showing. Breaking the flag rules is considered very disrespectful.The American flag has been through a lot! It has been into outer space on NASA rockets and to the moon. It flew over the beaches of Normandy in World War 2 and at the Revolutionary War battles that won America's independence from Britain. Whenever I see the Stars and Stripes, I feel proud to be an American.Some fun facts about the flag: The designer is unknown but it is thought to be inspired by the red and white stripes of the East India Company's flag, and the stars from the sky on the coat of arms of George Washington's family. Betsy Ross is often credited with sewing one of the first flags, but there is debate over whether that's true or just a nice story. What we do know is that the design has lasted for over 200 years as a powerful symbol of America!Well, those are the basics about the American flag - its designs, colors, history and meaning. Writing this essay has helped me appreciate the flag even more. It's not just a piece of cloth, but something that represents the ideals, struggles and triumphs of an entire nation. The next time I see Old Glory waving, I'll smile and feel proud to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. USA! USA!篇5The American Flag: A Symbol of Freedom and UnityHi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the really cool American flag. The flag is one of the most important symbols of our country, the United States of America. It represents the values and ideals that America stands for, like freedom, democracy, and equality for all people.The American flag is super eye-catching with its bright red and white stripes and stars on a blue background. Let me break it down for you:The StripesThe flag has 13 red and white stripes. These stripes represent the original 13 colonies that became the first states in the Union.The red stripes symbolize hardiness and valor, while the white stripes symbolize purity and innocence. Isn't that awesome?The StarsOn the blue background in the top left corner, you'll see 50 white stars. Each star represents one of the 50 states that make up our great nation today. The blue color stands for perseverance and justice. The stars are arranged in nine rows, with stars alternating horizontally and vertically.The DesignDid you know the American flag has gone through a lot of changes over the years? As new states joined the Union, more stars were added to the blue field. The design we have today, with 50 stars representing 50 states, has been the official flag since 1960 when Hawaii became the 50th state.The Pledge of AllegianceOne of the best ways we honor our flag is by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. By saying the pledge, we show our loyalty and commitment to the United States and everything it represents. I feel so proud every time I put my hand over my heart and say those powerful words.The HistoryThe American flag has such an amazing history! It was first introduced on June 14, 1777, during the Revolutionary War. The design featured 13 stars and 13 stripes, representing the 13 colonies that had declared independence from Great Britain.The flag has played a huge role in many major events throughout American history. It was there when our nation was born, and it has accompanied our brave soldiers in every battle, reminding them of the freedom and democracy they fought to protect.One of the most iconic moments in flag history was when American troops raised the flag at Iwo Jima during World War II. That powerful image of marines planting the flag in the midst of battle has become a symbol of American courage and perseverance.Respecting the FlagAs Americans, we have certain rules and customs for showing respect to our flag. For example, the flag should never touch the ground, and it's supposed to be illuminated at night if it's flying outdoors. When the flag becomes worn or torn, it should be disposed of properly through a special burning ceremony.We also have flag etiquette, like not wearing the flag as clothing (unless you're a military member in uniform), and not using the flag for advertising or promotional purposes. These rules help us honor and preserve the dignity of our nation's most important symbol.What the Flag Means to MeTo me, the American flag represents the freedom and opportunities we have in this incredible country. It reminds me of how lucky I am to live in a place where I can dream big and work hard to achieve those dreams, no matter my background or circumstances.The flag also symbolizes the unity and diversity of our nation. Just like the stars on the flag, we come from different states and cultures, but we are all united as Americans, bonded by our shared values and love for our country.Whenever I see the American flag waving proudly, I feel a sense of pride and gratitude for all the sacrifices made by those who came before us to protect our freedoms. The flag reminds me to always stand up for what's right, to be kind and accepting of others, and to work towards making our nation even better for future generations.So there you have it, friends! The American flag is more than just a piece of cloth – it's a powerful symbol that represents the best of what our country has to offer. I hope you've learned something new about our amazing flag today, and that you'll always treat it with the respect and honor it deserves.God bless America!篇6The American Flag is Super Cool!Hi friends! Today I want to tell you all about the awesomely cool American flag. The flag is one of the most important symbols of the United States of America. It represents our country's values like freedom, justice, and apple pie (just kidding about that last part!).The American flag has been around for a really, really long time. Way back in 1777, the design we know today was created. That was during the American Revolutionary War when the Thirteen Colonies were fighting for independence from Great Britain. Can you believe the flag is over 200 years old? Wow!The person who designed the original flag was named Francis Hopkinson. He was from New Jersey and worked as anaval flag designer. The original flag had 13 red and white stripes to represent the 13 colonies that became the first states. It also had 13 white stars on a blue background, with each star representing one of the colonies too. Pretty smart design, right?Over the years, as more states joined the United States, they added new stars to the flag so every state could be represented. Can you guess how many stars are on the flag now? There are 50 stars for the 50 states we have today! The last stars were added in 1960 when Hawaii became the 50th state.But what do the different colors and parts of the flag actually mean? Let me break it down for you:The red stripes symbolize valor and hardiness. Valor means courage and bravery. The white stripes represent purity and innocence.The blue area with the stars is actually called the union. The blue color stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice. And of course, the stars symbolize the 50 united states, shining bright like a newly formed constellation!Putting it all together, the American flag represents the values and ideals that the United States was founded on - likefreedom, democracy, unity, and standing up for what's right. Those red and white stripes will never be forgotten!There are also certain rules and respectful ways that the flag is supposed to be displayed and taken care of. For example, the flag should never touch the ground and it is only supposed to be flown from sunrise to sunset unless it's illuminated by lights at night.When old flags get worn out and torn, they aren't just thrown away. There is actually a ceremony called flag retirement where old flags are burned in a dignified way to properly dispose of them. Families or groups like the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts often do these ceremonies.The American flag is saluted by members of the military and many civilians put their hand over their heart out of respect when the flag passes by in a parade or ceremony. The national anthem called "The Star-Spangled Banner" is also sung to honor the flag and the United States.There are so many cool flag holidays and celebrations too! Every year on June 14th, we celebrate Flag Day to commemorate the date in 1777 when the Continental Congress adopted the first official American flag design.Then on the 4th of July, which is Independence Day, we celebrate America's birthday and freedom from Great Britain with fireworks, parades, barbecues, and of course lots of American flags waving proudly!In my opinion, the American flag is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. Whenever I see those stars and stripes, it makes me feel patriotic and proud to be an American. It reminds me of the sacrifices people made for our freedom and democracy over the centuries.I hope you've learned some fun facts and now understand more about why the American flag is so deeply meaningful and important. It's a symbol that represents the hopes, values, and spirits of our great nation. So be sure to respect the flag and everything it stands for! Thanks for reading, and I'll catch you later!Word count: 2025。

• In the late 1960s, American students wore small flags sewn to the back of their jeans, symbolically insulting the American government and protesting its involvement in the Vietnam War. They burned the American flag in front of the Capitol Building(国会大厦)in Washington as a statement of protest. In the early 1990s, senators suggested an amendment to the Constitution(宪法)that would make this treatment of the flag illegal. The proposition (提议、议案)was opposed because many others felt that this change would be a violation of Americans' constitutional rights to express their opinions freely.

• On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress proposed that the United States have a national flag instead of the British Union Jack. The 13 stars of the flag represented the 13 new states. There were few public ceremonies honoring the Stars and Stripes until 1877, when on, June 14, it was flown from every government building in honor of the centennial(百年纪念)of the adoption of a national flag. Schools had unfurled(展示)American flags over their doors or outside the buildings long before this; but in 1890, North Dakota and New Jersey made a law that required their schools to fly the flag daily. The first official Flag Day was observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1893. New York also proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day 1897. Other states were slow to follow. Some people thought that the day was too close to Memorial Day and Independence Day.
