英语词汇reds的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Reds; Red Square. Communists are called Reds because the red flag was the national flag of the Soviet Union and was the banner of international communism before the Russian Rev- olution. The red flag has been a signal for battle since Roman times, and the color red in national flags usually represents the blood of the people. Before the communists used it as a symbol of revolution, red was associated with the Jacobins of the French Revolution, the “red republicans” who reportedly dipped their hands in the blood of their royal victims and tri- umphantly waved them aloft, and with the red-shirted follow- ers of Garibaldi in Italy. Red Square, adjoining the Kremlin in Moscow, is not named after the communists, as many people believe. Red Square was so named long before the Russian Revolution. Its name may have something to do with the color of buildings formerly in the area, or the fact that Russians be- lieve red to be the most beautiful of colors.
