《The Star-Spangled Banner》美国国歌唱
》大合唱杰克+1

今天是美国的独立纪念日，是俺们美国人的国庆。总说要把这个美歌儿唱出来表演的，其他的作业太多，一直没有排上节目单的。正好今天是独立日佳节，花了半个小时，录了两次就达到可以表演的地步了。那就发出来俺们大家同乐。
美国的国歌全部共有四段，但是一般的情况下，就唱第一和第二段。把全部歌词列出来，但是表演第一和第二段好啦。

》背景知识：
巴尔的摩市东南的麦克亨利堡，建在一个小半岛上，是个平面成五角星状的要塞，扼进港要道。第二次美英战争期间作为前哨阵地抗击英军。1814年，英国舰队直扑麦克亨利堡，昼夜连续猛轰此堡。
当时，有一位名叫弗朗西斯·斯科特·基的美国律师乘船到英舰交涉释放被扣留的美国平民。他目击了英军炮轰麦克亨利堡及美军英勇抵抗的惨烈场面，忧心如焚。1814年9月13日凌晨，弗朗西斯·斯科特·基透过炮火的硝烟，看到一面美国国旗仍然在城堡上迎风飘扬，他被这景像深深感动，随手在一封信的背后写下了几行诗。
后来，他把诗稿送给法官尼科尔森（Nicholson），得到大力赞赏，并建议用一首当时非常流行的有关饮酒和"生命大和谐"的英国曲子John Stafford Smith作曲的“To Anacreon in Heaven” 做为配曲，同时取歌名为“星条旗之歌”（The Star-Spangled Banner），这首歌深受美国人民的喜爱，很快就传遍全国。1931年，美国国会正式将《星光灿烂的旗帜》定为美国国歌。
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Ⅱ
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Ⅲ
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Ⅳ
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
