国庆这天，爱国之心尤为强烈！
如何表达“祖国”
我们知道“国家”的英文单词是“Country”，但“祖国”一般不这么用，而是用“Mother country”或“Home country”来表示，或是直接用“Motherland”和“Homeland”带有更强烈的感情色彩。
国旗是一个国家的标志和象征，用“National flag”表示，我们的国旗叫做五星红旗，Five-starred red flag。
国歌的英文单词是“National anthem”，而不是“country song”(乡村音乐)，这里要注意。“March of the Volunteers”我们的国歌《义勇军进行曲》的名称。
