The Anthem

国歌

Dr. William Beanes was an elderly doctor who had been captured by the British when they invaded Washington, D.C., during the War of 1812. On September 7, 1814, Francis Scott Key visited the British fleet in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay and was able to have them set Dr. Beanes free—but not until after they finished bombarding Fort McHenry, Baltimore's main defense.

威廉·巴尔内斯博士是一位上了年纪的医生，在1812年战争期间，他被入侵的英军在华盛顿特区中被俘虏。1814年9月7日，弗朗西斯·斯科特·基造访英国舰队，并努力争取释放巴尔内斯博士，但直到英国舰队炮轰完巴尔的摩的主要防御阵地麦克亨利堡之后才被释放。

The attack had gone on for 25 hours by the morning of September 14, 1814. When Key peered through the clearing smoke at the fort, he saw a 42-by-30-foot American flag flying proudly over it.

1814年9月14日早上开始，炮击持续了25个小时。当基透过硝烟弥漫的要塞，凝视着那面经过炮火洗礼的42乘30英尺的美国国旗，仍在要塞的上空自豪地飘扬。

He was so inspired by the sight of the enormous flag that he wrote a poem about it, which he named "The Defence of Fort McHenry." Within a month, the words had been published in papers all along the eastern seaboard, with Key's note that they should be sung to the tune of a popular British melody, "To Anacreon in Heaven."

巨大的国旗激发了基的灵感，写出了一首被他命名为《保卫麦克亨利堡》的诗歌。在一个月内，东海岸的所有刊物都刊登了这首诗歌。对于基的这首诗，人们认为应谱上受欢迎的英式旋律的曲调——《致天堂里的阿克那里翁》。

After 100 years, the anthem was still popular and was the national anthem of the United States. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered that the anthem be played at military and naval ceremonies. In 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a resolution that officially designated "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem of the United States.

100年后，这首颂歌依然非常受欢迎，并已成为美国国歌。1916年伍德罗·威尔逊总统下令，在陆军和海军的仪式上演奏这首颂歌。1931年，赫伯特·胡佛总统签署了一个决定，正式指定《星条旗永不落》作为美国的国歌。

The Coins

这套硬币

The Star-Spangled Banner coins commemorate the 200th anniversary (bicentennial) of the writing of our national anthem. Their designs symbolize the War of 1812, particularly the Battle of Baltimore, the basis for the anthem's lyrics. The theme on the front (obverse) of the gold $5 coin is "The Battles at Sea During the War of 1812." It depicts a naval battle from the War of 1812, with an American sailing ship in the foreground and a damaged and fleeing British ship in the background.

星条旗硬币是为纪念美国国歌诞生二百周年而发行的。它们的设计，象征了1812年战争，特别是巴尔的摩战役，突显了国歌的歌词。5美元金硬币正面的主题是“1812年战争期间的海战”。它描述了1812年战争中的一次海战，一艘美国帆船（前景）和一艘受损逃离的英国船（背景）。

The theme on the reverse (tails) is "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the song). It features the first words of the anthem, "O say can you see," in Francis Scott Key's handwriting, over a flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes, as on the flag at the time the words were written.

背面的主题是美国国歌。它突出显示了美国国歌的第一句歌词“哦！你可看见”，这是弗朗西斯·斯科特·基的笔迹；在旗上有15颗星星和15条横条条纹，这就是创作这首诗的时候的美国国旗。

In the design on the front of the silver dollar, Lady Liberty waves the 15-star/15-stripe flag in front of Fort McHenry. The theme of the design is "The Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry."

在1美元银硬币的正面图案是：在麦克亨利堡的前面自由女神双手握着挥动的15颗星星和15条横条条纹的国旗。它的设计主题是“巴尔的摩的麦克亨利堡之战”。

On the back, the theme is "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the flag). This side of the coin is filled with a close-up view of a waving modern American flag.

背面的主题是美国国旗。整个硬币面充满了一个特写的飘扬着的现代的美国国旗。

2014年度纪念币（一）

Civil Rights Act of 1964 Silver Dollar

1964年《公民权利法案》银一美元硬币

The Program 计划 This 2014 coin honors the Civil Rights Act, made law in 1964, on its 50th anniversary. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 greatly expanded civil rights 保护. It outlawed racial segregation in public places, funded federal programs, and encouraged desegregation in public schools. 这枚2014年的硬币是为纪念《公民权利法案》，该法律制定于1964年，今年刚好是五十周年纪念。1964年的《公民权利法案》极大地扩展了公民权利的保护。该法案禁止在公共场所种族隔离，提供联邦政府资金计划，以及支持公立学校废止种族歧视。 The law that required the creation of this coin was passed on December 2, 2008. The law allows surcharges for each coin that's sold to be paid to the United Negro College Fund. 这枚硬币是根据2008年12月2日通过的法律而创建的。法律批准将销售的每枚硬币中的附加费拨付给黑人大学联盟基金会。 The Organization 机构 One of the main goals of the civil rights movement was equality in education. Similarly, the purposes of the United Negro College Fund are to provide scholarships and internships for minority students and to operate services for 37 historically black colleges and universities. 民权运动的主要目标之一是教育平等。同样，黑人大学联盟基金会的目的是为少数族裔学生提供奖学金和实习机会，该基金会已为三十七所传统的黑人院校的运作提供了服务。 The fund's scholarships and operating funds have enabled more than 400,000 young African-Americans to earn college degrees. Those graduates include Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and many other leaders in the fields of education, science, medicine, law, entertainment, literature, the military, and politics. Many of them have also supported the movement for civil rights. 基金会所提供的奖学金和运作资金，已经使四十多万名年轻的非裔美国人获得大学本科学历。这些毕业生包括马丁路德金博士，以及许多是在教育、医学、法律、娱乐、文学、军事和政治等领域的领军人物。他们中的许多人同样支持民权运动。 The Designs 设计 The design on the obverse (front) features three people holding hands at a civil rights march. The man holds a sign that reads “We Shall Overcome.” The design symbolizes all the marches that were part of the civil rights movement. The 题字 are “2014,” “Liberty,” and “In God We Trust.” 这枚硬币的正面（前面）的设计特征是：三个人手拉着手参加民权游行。一名男子扛着一面写有“我们终将胜利”的标语牌。这种设计代表了所有游行都是公民权利运动的一部分。还题刻着“2014”、“自由”和“我们信奉上帝”。 On the reverse (back), three flames intertwine to symbolize three civil rights: to get an education, to vote, and to control one's own destiny. The design was inspired by the following quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.: “They get the fire hose. They fail to realize that water can only put out physical fire. But water can never drown the fire of freedom.” The 题字 are “Civil Rights Act of 1964,” “Signed into Law July 2, 1964,” “E Pluribus Unum,” “One Dollar,” and “United States of America.” 硬币背面（后面）是：三个火焰交织在一起，象征着获得教育、选举和掌控自己命运的三个公民权利。这种设计灵感来自下面引用马丁路德金的一句话：“他们或许得到了灭火的水，但他们未能懂得水只能扑灭物理的火，而水却永远不能淹没自由之火。”。还题刻着“1964年公民权利法案”、“1964年7月2日签署成为法律”、“合众为一”、“一美元”和“美利坚合众国”。

National Baseball Hall of Fame Coins

国家棒球名人榜硬币

The Program 计划 The National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act requires the creation of three coins (in gold, silver, and clad) to recognize and celebrate the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The year of issue, 2014, marks the museum's 75th anniversary. 根据国家棒球名人榜纪念币法案要求，制作三枚硬币（金币、银币和复合币）来确认国家棒球名人和赞美国家棒球博物馆。这三枚硬币于2014年，也即是博物馆75周年纪念时发行。 The law allows surcharges from each coin sold to be paid to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This will help fund the （运作） of the Hall of Fame, an independent not-for-profit educational institution. 法律批准将销售的每枚硬币中的附加费拨付给国家棒球名人纪念馆。这些资金将有助于这个独立的、非营利的教育机构－－名人纪念馆的运作。 The Organization 机构 The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's mission is to help people appreciate baseball's historical development and impact on our culture. To support this mission, the Museum collects, preserves, exhibits, and interprets baseball artifacts and honors those who have made outstanding （贡献） to the sport. 国家棒球名人榜与博物馆的使命，是帮助人们领会棒球运动的历史与发展，以及它对我们文化的影响。基于这一使命，博物馆收集、保存、展览和解读棒球运动的用品，以及纪念那些对这项运动作出杰出贡献的运动员。 Since it opened in 1939, the Museum has hosted more than 15 million visitors. 自1939年开馆以来，博物馆已接待1500多万游客。 Only 1 percent (one out of a hundred) of all the Major League players have been awarded membership in the Hall of Fame. A plaque is created for each member, and in the Museum's main gallery, the plaques of all 300 members line the oak walls. 在所有全美职业棒球协会的球员中，有资格已被选入名人榜的球员只有1%（一百个当中只有一个）。奖章是为每一个成员所准备的。到目前为止，所有入选的300名成员的奖章，排列在博物馆主要展厅的橡木墙壁上。 The Museum's other （汇集） include more than 35,000 items such as bats, baseballs, uniforms, player equipment, ballpark artifacts, awards, artwork, textiles, tickets, collectibles, and memorabilia. The institution's library archives contain more than 130,000 baseball cards and 2.6 million photographs, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, films, and video and audio tapes. 博物馆的藏品超过35,000件，如：棒、棒球、制服、球员装备、球场产品、奖项、艺术品、纺织品、门票、收藏品和纪念品等。该机构的图书馆收藏了大量的文献，包括130,000多张棒球卡，以及260多万幅（册、件）照片、书籍、杂志、剪报、电影、录像带和录音带。 Expanding Farther into the Third Dimension 进一步扩展到三维立体感 While most coins are basically flat, these coins have a dimensional difference: the obverse (front) is concave and the other side is convex. This domed shape is a first for the United States Mint. Although the 1973 Roberto Walker Clemente Congressional Gold Medal was also curved, the curves were both convex (curved outward). 虽然大多数硬币基本上都是平的，而这些硬币有一个空间维度的差异：正面（前面）是凹弧面的，而另一面是凸弧面的。这种半球形状的硬币是美国铸币局首创的。虽然1973年的罗伯特·沃克·克莱门特国会金质奖章也是弧形的，但它双面都是凸弧形的（向外凸面）。 The shape of the baseball coins was modeled after two other similarly curved coins that have recently been made in other countries: France's International Year of Astronomy curved coins and Australia's Southern Cross curved coins. As the United States Mint planned its first-ever curved coins, the Royal Australian and Perth Mints offered some valuable technical insight. 棒球形状硬币，是仿效类似最近其他国家制作的二枚弧形硬币：一枚是法国的国际天文年弧形硬币，另一枚是澳大利亚的南十字星弧形硬币。首枚弧形硬币是根据美国铸币局的方案形成的，澳大利亚皇家珀斯造币厂提供了一些有价值的技术观点。 No modern coin has required as much research and development as these. When you strike a dome-shaped coin, how high can the relief be? How does this shape affect the milling, turning, and grinding （进行）? What about the laser frosting and proof polishing? All these questions and more had to be tackled and solved. 现在的硬币不象弧形硬币那样需要更多的研究与开发。当你打造一枚圆顶形硬币时，你是否知道：它的浮雕能有多高？铣削、车削和磨削等操作对它的外形有什么影响？而对它的激光研磨、抛光、以及它的身份证明又是如何进行的？所有这些问题，甚至是更多的问题，必须处理和解决。 The Designs 设计 To set a design for the concave front of the coin, a national competition was held between April 11 and May 11, 2013. The winning design, by Cassie McFarland, is the same on all three coins. (A separate challenge for kids under 14 was also held around that time but coins were not made from the winning designs.) 这套硬币的正面设定为凹弧面设计，在2013年4月11日至5月11日举行办了一个全国的设计比赛。获奖设计，是由凯西·麦克法兰的三枚相同的硬币设计所获得。以此同时，还分别举办了一个以14岁以下的孩子的设计挑战赛，但该套硬币不是根据这次获奖作品制作的。 The design （由） of a baseball glove, one of the most basic elements of “America's national pastime,” or of even a simple game of catch in the backyard or at the local sand lot. The glove design also fits the coin's concavity like a...well, like a glove. This side's inscriptions are placed around the palm of the glove: “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and “2014.” 该设计是由一个棒球手套构成。棒球手套是“全美国人最喜爱”的运动的、最基本的用品之一，它也是在后院或沙滩上进行的、简单的接球游戏的用品。这种手套的设计亦切合硬币正面的凹弧面设计要求，就像棒球手套一样。在这一面，手套的手掌面周围题刻着：“自由”，“我们信奉上帝”和“2014”的字样。 The design on the convex back, also common to all three coins, is a baseball like the ones used in Major League Baseball. The （题刻）, besides each coin's denomination, are “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum.” 背面为凸弧面设计，这三枚硬币的背面也共用这种设计，就像是《美国职业棒球大联盟》使用的棒球一样。除在每枚硬币上刻有面值外，还题刻有“美利坚合众国”和“合众为一”的字样。 The images of the coins shown are line art renderings, and not photography of the coins. 这些是硬币的艺术效果图，而不是实际硬币的摄影效果图。
