Hey Flag!Europe

Hey, flag! Tell us about yourself! I am the French flag, called the Tricolore. I was first used in 1794 after the French Revolution. That is when the French people killed the king and set up the Republic of France. I have been in use ever since. I am a flag of freedom. I am called the Tricolore because I have three colors: blue, white, and red.

嘿,国旗!说说你自己吧! 我就是法国国旗，叫做三色旗。 我第一次使用是在法国大革命后的1794年。 就在那时，法国人民杀死了国王，建立了法兰西共和国。 从那以后我一直在使用。我是自由的旗帜。 我被称为三色，因为我有三种颜色：蓝色、白色和红色。

Blue is the color of St. Martin. One snowy day, he cut his blue coat in half to share it with a poor beggar. This color reminds us that the rich must always help the poor. White is the color of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. Most French people are Catholic, and they honor and respect the Virgin Mary.

蓝色是圣马丁的颜色。一个下雪天，他把蓝色的大衣剪成两半，和一个可怜的乞丐分享。 这种颜色提醒我们，富人必须总是帮助穷人。 白色是圣母玛利亚的颜色，圣母玛利亚是耶稣的母亲。 大多数法国人都是天主教徒，他们尊重圣母玛利亚。

This color reminds us that we, like Mary, must be faithful to God. Red is the color of St. Denis. St. Denis is the protector of Paris, which is our capital city. This color reminds us to be loyal to France. Hey, flag! Tell us about yourself. I am the flag of Switzerland. I am a very old flag.

这种颜色提醒我们，我们和玛丽一样，必须忠于上帝。 红色是圣丹尼斯的颜色。圣丹尼斯是巴黎的保护者，巴黎是我们的首都。 这种颜色提醒我们要忠于法国。嘿，flag！告诉我们你自己。 我是瑞士的国旗。我是一个非常古老的旗帜。

The Swiss people chose me as their flag in 1889, but I was used as a flag by the Holy Roman Empire over 1, 500 years ago. The white cross in the middle of the red background symbolized that the emperor had a duty to protect Christianity. So my white cross represents Christianity. Many people throughout the world recognize me as a symbol of peace.

1889年，瑞士人民选择我作为他们的旗帜，但1500多年前，神圣罗马帝国将我作为旗帜。 红色背景中间的白色十字架象征着皇帝有责任保护基督教。 所以我的白色十字架代表基督教。全世界许多人都认为我是和平的象征。

The Swiss are very proud of the fact that we are a neutral country. This means that we do not choose sides when other countries are at war. We are also proud that our country is peaceful and democratic. Whenever people see me, they think of Switzerland, the country with no enemies.

瑞士人对我们是一个中立国家感到非常自豪。 这意味着，当其他国家处于战争状态时，我们不会选边站。 我们也为我国的和平与民主感到自豪。 每当人们看到我，他们就会想到瑞士，这个没有敌人的国家。

Hey, flag! Tell us about yourself. I am the Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom. I did not always look like this. I am a combination of the Cross of St. George of England, and the Cross of St. Andrew of Scotland, and the Cross of St. Patrick of Ireland.

嘿，flag！告诉我们你自己。我是联合杰克，英国国旗。 我并不总是这样。我是圣十字架的组合。 英格兰的乔治，苏格兰的圣安德鲁十字，爱尔兰的圣帕特里克十字。
