96.Why does the flag have 13 stripes?
96.為什么美國國旗有13道寬條？
Answer: Because there were 13 original colonies; Because the stripes represent the original colonies
答案：因為當(dāng)時有13個最初的殖民地；因為這些寬條代表著這些最初的殖民地
Explanation: The U.S. flag is often called the Stars and Stripes, because those words describe what the flag looks like.
解釋：美國國旗經(jīng)常被稱作星條旗，因為這些文字描述了這面旗幟的樣子。
The flag has 13 stripes, which are horizontal lines (or lines that run from left to right).
該旗有13道寬條，這些條紋都是水平線（或從左至右的線條）。
The stripes alternate between red and white, meaning that first there is a red stripe, then a white stripe, then another red stripe, and so on.
這些寬條紅白相間，意思是第一道是紅色寬條、然后是一道白色寬條、接著又是一道紅色寬條，以此類推。
The upper left-hand corner is a smaller blue rectangle with 50 white stars, which are objects with five points.
該旗幟的左上角是包含了50顆白色五角星的藍(lán)色小長方形。
The U.S. flag has a lot of symbolism, meaning that it uses images to present ideas.
美國國旗有很多種象征意義，意義是它使用具體形象來表現(xiàn)抽象意義。
For example, the symbolism of the 50 stars is that there is one star for each state.
例如，50顆星星的象征意義是每顆星代表著每個州。
The 50 stars are identical, having the same size and shape.
這50顆星星都一模一樣，大小和形狀都相同。
This symbolizes the equality (or sameness) of the states, with no state having more power or importance than any other state.
這象征著各個州一律平等（或相同），沒有哪個州的權(quán)力會更大或比其他州更重要。
