98.美國國歌叫什么名字？
Answer: The Star-Spangled Banner
答案：《星條旗》
Explanation: At the beginning of almost any football, basketball, or baseball game in the United States, people sing the country's national anthem, or the song that officially represents the United States.
解釋：在幾乎所有的橄欖球、籃球或者棒球比賽開始的時候，人們都會唱美國國歌或正式代表著該國的歌曲。
This song is called The Star-Spangled Banner.
這首歌叫做《星條旗》。
When Americans sing it, they take off their hat, put their hand over their heart (or rest their right hand on the left side of their chest), and sing while looking at the U.S. flag.
美國人唱它的時候，他們摘掉自己的帽子，將他們的手放在自己的心臟上（或把他們的右手放在左胸上），并且看著美國國旗歌唱。
The phrase "Star-Spangled Banner" is another name for the U.S. flag.
“星條旗”這個短語是美國國旗的別稱。
A banner is a long piece of fabric, like a flag.
橫幅是一塊像旗幟一樣的很長的布。
The U.S. flag is star-spangled because it is covered with stars.
美國國旗星光燦爛是因為它上面布滿了星星。
The melody (or the musical notes) come from an old British drinking song, or a song that men used to sing after they had drunk too much alcohol.
該歌曲（或曲調）取自英國古老的飲酒歌，或古時男人們喝了很多酒后常常會唱的歌。
The melody is very difficult to sing, because it has a wide range, meaning that some of the notes are very low and other notes are very high.
這首歌曲非常難唱，因為它的音域很寬，意思是有的音符非常之低，而有的音符卻非常之高。
