It was on this date - back in 1787 that 39 people plus a secretary signed the U.S. Constitution. What Constitution Day does is commemorate the event and the document that defined fundamental law in America. Ok, you knew that. But let`s see what else you know about the document in our official Student News Constitution Day quiz.
就在1787年的今天，由39人和一位秘書組成的團隊共同簽署了美國憲法。憲法紀念日就是紀念這一事件以及定義美國基本法的文件。好的，你知道了。加入我們官方學生新聞憲法紀念日測試，看看你是否還知道有關憲法的其它事情。
It`s Constitution Day. On this date in in 1787, 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document that today is the oldest written Constitution still used by any government. We are finding out how much you know about the U.S. constitution starting with some fun TRUE or FALSE questions.
今天是憲法日。在1787年的今天，39名參加憲法會議的代表簽署了這一是最古老的書面文件，目前任何政府都在使用。就下列問題回答對還是錯，看看你有多了解美國憲法。
All right. Number one - the word democracy appears in article 1 of the U.S Constitution. Answer - FALSE. The word democracy actually doesn`t appear anywhere in the document.
好的，第一個問題，美國憲法第一條出現了“民主”這個詞。答案是錯誤的。實際上民主這個詞沒在憲法中出現過。
Next, Benjamin Franklin was the oldest person to sign the constitution. This is TRUE. He was 81 and in declining health. So he needed someone to sign it. It said, as he was signing it, tears were streaming down his face. Three - some delegates of the constitutional convention refused to sign the constitution. Answer - TRUE! Of the six delegates who did not sign, three of them Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to do so. Partly because the constitution did not have a bill of rights. Those amendments guaranteeing individual liberties were proposed two years later.
接下來，本杰明·富蘭克林是簽署憲法中年齡最大的。答案是正確的。富蘭克林時年81歲，身體狀況每況愈下。所以他需要別人來簽署。據說，當他簽署憲法時老淚縱橫。第三個問題，一些會議代表拒絕簽署憲法。答案是正確的。拒絕簽署憲法的六人中，三人是埃德蒙·倫道夫、弗吉尼亞州的喬治梅森即馬薩諸塞州的埃爾布里奇·格里。拒簽的部分原因是憲法沒有包含一項權利。這些保證個人自由的修正案于兩年后提出。
Since the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, how many additional amendments have been added to the constitution? Is the answer, 7, 10, 12, or 17? If you said D- 17, you got it. That last amendment, the 27th says that a pay raise for members of Congress cannot take effect until after an election.
自1791年人權法案正式批準后，憲法還加入了多少次額外的修正案。答案是7、10、12還是17次。如果你說17次，那你正確了。最近的一次即第27次修正案中規定，國會人員直到大選后才能加薪。
Now, which branch of the U.S. Government is mentioned first in the Constitution? Is it the legislative, judicial or executive?. Answer: A. The Legislatives branch`s powers are laid out in article one of the constitution. This is the branch that includes the House of Representatives and the Senate and it`s charged with making the laws that govern the country.
現在，美國政府的哪個部門首次在憲法中被提及？是立法部、司法部還是行政部？答案是立法部門。立法部門的權利位于憲法的第一篇，包括眾議院和參議院，負責制定管理國家的法律。
Finally, where can you find the original copy of the Constitution? Is it in Fort Knox Kentucky, The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian Institution or The National Archives? Answer D. The National Archives building in Washington D.C. To preserve the quality of the document it is kept at 67 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 percent humidity and you can say that fascinating fact constitutes our Constitution Day quiz.
最后，你可以在哪里找到憲法的原始副本？是肯塔基州諾克斯堡、國會圖書館、史密森學會還是國家檔案館？答案是D。國家檔案館建于華盛頓特區，其中的文件保存在67華氏度及百分之40的濕度下。憲法紀念日的測試包含了令人著迷的事實。
