half-staff的用法详解
英语单词half-staff的用法讲解
half-staff(或称half-mast)是英式英语里的一种表达,指的是把旗帜升到一半的位置。这种用法表达的是悲伤、遗憾,以示对某个个人或某个组织的敬意。
比如,当美国总统去世时,美国总统府会把国旗升至半桩,以此示意对这位总统的哀悼。而当其他高级官员、军人、著名人士去世时,美国总统府也会把国旗升至半桩,以此示意对这些人的敬意。
在美国,通常有两种情况会让国旗升至半桩:一是总统去世;二是总统宣布国家因“国家哀悼”而定为半桩旗帜。
除此之外,一些州也会把国旗升至半桩,以示哀悼某个特定的事件,例如贵州就有一个专门的法律规定,在学校发生特定事件时,把国旗升至半桩以示哀悼。
总而言之,把旗帜升至半桩是一种强烈的表达,表达的是对某个个人或组织的敬意。
