樓上的朋友請自重!不要拿別人的國旗來開玩笑
澳大利亞國旗為長方形,旗面為藍底、有一顆白七角星及五顆白南十字星、左上角為英國國旗.藍色代表環(huán)繞澳洲的大海.白色七角星被稱為「澳大利亞聯(lián)邦之星」,其七個角代表澳洲的六個州與一個首都區(qū),右邊白色的五顆星則代表南十字星座.國旗的左上角為英國國旗圖案,表明澳洲與英國的歷史關系.
國旗的左上角為英國國旗圖案,表明澳大利亞與英國的傳統(tǒng)關系.最大的一顆七角星代表的是澳大利亞的六個州與一個區(qū),藍色象征著大海環(huán)抱著澳大利亞領土.
這面旗幟是從一次設計比賽中,由英國君主在1904年選定的.最初這面旗幟主要用于海軍的軍旗,而米字旗才是更常用的國家象征.1954年英國女王訪問澳大利亞時正式確定這面旗幟為澳大利亞的國旗,但直到1960年代,這面旗幟才完全取代米字旗,成為國家的象征.
有一些澳大利亞人對于旗幟上的米字旗感到不滿,而該旗與新西蘭國旗十分相似,也常常被混淆.但目前這面國旗還是受到大多數(shù)人的支持,而且在澳大利亞共和制爭議被完全解決之前,這面旗幟還不太可能被另一面旗幟替換.
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.
