英语词汇stars and stripes的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Stars and Stripes; Star-Spangled Banner. Though the Con- tinental Congress resolved in 1777 that the U.S. flag be com- posed of 13 stripes and 13 stars, the term Stars and Stripes for the flag isn’t recorded until five years later. Star-Spangled Ban- ner, for the flag, was of course inspired by the national anthem, whose lyrics Francis Scott Key wrote in 1814, but the song didn’t become our official national anthem until 1931 (though it had for almost a century been called our “national ballad”). The Greek lyric poet Anacreon (fl. 6th century b.c.) wrote light bright poems praising wine and love that were imitated by Jon- son, Herrick, and other early English bards. A drinking club in London used his name, and its club song, “Anacreon in Heav- en,” provided the music for Francis Scott Key’s “Star-Spangled Banner,” the American national anthem. See anacreontic; old glory; stars and stripes.
