澳大利亚的国旗的含义英语翻译

楼上的朋友请自重!不要拿别人的国旗来开玩笑
澳大利亚国旗为长方形,旗面为蓝底、有一颗白七角星及五颗白南十字星、左上角为英国国旗.蓝色代表环绕澳洲的大海.白色七角星被称为「澳大利亚联邦之星」,其七个角代表澳洲的六个州与一个首都区,右边白色的五颗星则代表南十字星座.国旗的左上角为英国国旗图案,表明澳洲与英国的历史关系.
国旗的左上角为英国国旗图案,表明澳大利亚与英国的传统关系.最大的一颗七角星代表的是澳大利亚的六个州与一个区,蓝色象征着大海环抱着澳大利亚领土.
这面旗帜是从一次设计比赛中,由英国君主在1904年选定的.最初这面旗帜主要用于海军的军旗,而米字旗才是更常用的国家象征.1954年英国女王访问澳大利亚时正式确定这面旗帜为澳大利亚的国旗,但直到1960年代,这面旗帜才完全取代米字旗,成为国家的象征.
有一些澳大利亚人对于旗帜上的米字旗感到不满,而该旗与新西兰国旗十分相似,也常常被混淆.但目前这面国旗还是受到大多数人的支持,而且在澳大利亚共和制争议被完全解决之前,这面旗帜还不太可能被另一面旗帜替换.
The flag of Australia was chosen in 1901 from entries in a worldwide design competition held following Federation.It was approved by Australian and British authorities over the next few years,although the exact specifications of the flag were changed several times both intentionally and as a result of confusion.The current specifications were published in 1934,and in 1954 the flag became legally recognised as the "Australian National Flag".
The flag is a defaced Blue Ensign:a blue field with the Union Flag in the canton (upper hoist quarter),and a large white seven-pointed star known as the Commonwealth Star in the lower hoist quarter.The fly contains a representation of the Southern Cross constellation,made up of five white stars – one small five-pointed star and four,larger,seven-pointed stars.
The flag of Australia is legally defined in the Flags Act 1953.In addition there are other official flags representing Australia,its people and core functions of government.
