CHICAGO -- Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds of Illinois is headed back to

sentenced him Thursday to six months behind bars for failing to file tax

The sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman marked the

一早到了州府的Federal Building。等到了我的面试时间，一个移民官把我领进了他的
办公室。
过程简单迅速，十几分钟就结束了。先是问了申请材料中的个人信息，看有没有更新，
再就是一些简单的是或是不是的回答。最后美国历史测试的时候，十个历史题只要回答
正确6个就行了，结果我前六个全回答正确了（The Star-Spangled Banner, Dick
Chenny, The supreme law of the land, 100 senators - 2 from each states, …)

然后给我一个条子，让我June 13参加Naturalization Oath Ceremony。到时我就正式

http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/44748187
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。 |

Oh Say, Can You Hear? Olympics-Inspired Thoughts on National Anthems

哦，你听到了吗？由奥运会引发的有关国歌的联想
如果你正在观看奥运会的录像重播，你也许会好奇，为什么那些国歌，包括美国的，很
少与它们所代表国家真正的文化传统有关联。上周末，美国游泳明星麦克尔－菲尔普斯
获得他的第一枚奥运金牌，我听到了美国国歌“星条旗”（The Star-Spangled Banner
），但菲尔普斯在领奖台上时似乎对歌词不是很熟悉。而我所做的是提醒自己国歌旋律
的开始部分是一首与星条旗或者刚刚诞生的合众国没有任何关系的英国祝酒歌。因为弗
朗西斯－斯考特－克伊（Francis Scott Key）给它配上了爱国主义诗文，自从1814年
，它就同星条旗，7月4日以及唐纳德－特朗普（Donald Trump：美国社会名流。唐纳德
