美国国歌是?
美国国歌《星条旗永不落》("the star-spangled banner"曾译《星条旗》歌)诞生在巴尔底摩。据传说,巴尔的摩市东南的麦克亨利堡,曾在第二次英美战争期间作为前哨阵地抗击英军。它建在一个小半岛上,是个平面成五角星状的要塞,扼进港要道。1814年,英国舰队直扑麦克亨利堡,昼夜连续猛轰此堡。当时,有一位名叫弗朗西斯·斯科特·基的美国律师乘船到英舰交涉释放被扣留的美国平民。他目击了英军炮轰麦克亨利堡的经过,忧心如焚。次日早晨,当他透过战场上的硝烟看到星条旗仍在要塞上空猎猎飘扬时感慨万分,于是激情满怀地写下了《星条旗永不落》这首诗。诗歌很快不胫而走,后被配上曲谱后流传全国。1931年,美国国会正式将《星条旗永不落》定为国歌 。如今,巴尔的摩市的麦克亨利堡已被辟为国家纪念地和历史圣地。1985年11月7日,巴尔的摩市与中国福建省厦门市结为友好城市。
《星条旗永不落》的曲子是“进行曲之王”苏萨著名的代表作,创作于1897年(另一说1896年),管乐合奏曲。这首进行曲充分发挥铜管乐队的表现功能,以磅礴的气势和热烈的情绪歌颂自己的国家和军队,颇有鼓动力。
《星条旗永不落》歌词中文大意是:
啊!在晨曦初现时,你可看见
是什么让我们如此骄傲?
在黎明的最后一道曙光中欢呼,
是谁的旗帜在激战中始终高扬!
烈火熊熊,炮声隆隆,
我们看到要塞上那面英勇的旗帜
在黑暗过后依然耸立!
啊!你说那星条旗是否会静止,
在自由的土地上飘舞,
在勇者的家园上飞扬?
英文原文如下:
oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
and the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
o say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
on the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
what is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
as it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
in full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
't is the star spangled banner: o, long may it wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
and where is that band who so vauntingly swore
that the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
a home and a country should leave us no more?
their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
no refuge could save the hireling and slave
from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
and the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
o, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
praise the pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
and this be our motto: "in god is our trust"
and the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
《星条旗永不落》曲作者约翰·菲力浦·苏萨(John Philip Sousa,1854-1932),美国作曲家、军乐指挥家。10岁起学习小提琴与和声学,16岁即指挥乐队在剧场和影院中演出,曾任美国海军陆战队军乐队领队、美国海军乐队总指挥,四次率自己组织的乐队赴欧洲巡回演出。一生作有大量的军乐曲和轻歌剧、歌曲等,对美国铜管乐的发展起到了重大的推进作用,被誉为“进行曲之王”。他所作的军乐曲中,最著名的有:《星条旗永不落》、《棉花王》、《华盛顿邮报》、《越过海洋的握手》等。美国国歌《星条旗永不落》是苏萨的代表作,创作于1897年(另一说1896年),管乐合奏曲。这首进行曲充分发挥铜管乐队的表现功能,以磅礴的气势和热烈的情绪歌颂自己的国家和军队,颇有鼓动力。

星条旗永不落歌词:
虽然有四组歌词,但实际上几乎只唱第一组歌词,不唱其他歌词,尤其是第三组带有反英情绪的歌词。
I.
Oh, say can you see? by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
II.
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
III.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave'
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
IV.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I.
哦,你可看见,透过一线曙光,
我们对着什么,发出欢呼的声浪?
谁的阔条明星,冒着一夜炮火,
依然迎风招展,在我军碉堡上?
火炮闪闪发光,炸弹轰轰作响,
它们都是见证,国旗安然无恙。
你看星条旗不是还高高飘扬
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡?
II.
透过稠密的雾,隐约望见对岸,
顽敌正在酣睡,四周沉寂阑珊。
微风断断续续,吹过峻崖之巅,
你说那是什么,风中半隐半现?
现在它的身上,映着朝霞烂漫,
凌空照在水面,霎时红光一片。
这就是星条旗,愿它永远飘扬
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡。
III.
都到哪里去了,信誓旦旦的人们?
他们向往的是能在战争中幸存,
家乡和祖国,不要抛弃我们。
他们自己用血,洗清肮脏的脚印。
那些奴才、佣兵,没有地方藏身,
逃脱不了失败和死亡的命运。
但是星条旗却将要永远飘扬
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡。
IV.
玉碎还是瓦全,摆在我们面前,
自由人将奋起保卫国旗长招展。
祖国自有天相,胜利和平在望;
建国家,保家乡,感谢上帝的力量。
我们一定得胜,正义属于我方,
“我们信赖上帝,”此语永矢不忘。
你看星条旗将永远高高飘扬
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡。

美国的国歌是什么
The Star Spangled Banner
"The Star Spangled Banner" 于1814年由Francis Scott Key作曲,Woodrow Wilson总统于1916年下令于军中场合演奏,于1931年由国会立法通过成为国歌。
国歌共包括四节,绝大多数场合只唱第一节。
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave'
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

为何奏美国国歌时,美国人都把右手搭在左胸前?
国旗象征着一个国家的尊严。同各国人民一样,美国人在任何时候和任何场合都要保持对国旗的崇敬。美国许多州专门制定有关法律,规定了对国旗的礼节。 美国升国旗的惯例是,着便装的戴帽者,用右手将帽子摘下,举在左胸前;未戴帽者,以立正姿势对国旗行注目礼;穿军装者,则行军礼。
有时美国人还要对国旗宣誓。誓词系1892年由美国《青年伴侣》杂志社的编辑弗朗西斯·贝拉米写成。誓词全文是:“我宣誓忠实于美国利坚合众国国旗,忠实于她所代表的合众国——苍天之下一个不可分割的国家,在这里,人人享有自由和正义。”
1942年制定的法令规定,美国人对国旗宣誓时,应取立正姿势,右手郑重地放在左胸前,以示对国旗的崇敬。
