1411 half-staff

今天我们要学的词是half-staff。Half-staff, 意思是降半旗。尽管一些人权人士强烈反对,但是联合国仍然按照惯例在朝鲜前领导人金正日下葬当天降半旗。 "As a matter of protocol, U.N. offices around the globe lowered their flags to half-staff to mark the funeral of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il," 不久前维吉尼亚理工学院又发生了一起枪击事件。 "The Governor of Virginia ordered all federal and state flags flown at half-staff to honor a police officer killed during a shooting," 维吉尼亚州州长下令,州内所有维吉尼亚州旗和美国国旗一律降半旗,悼念在枪击事件中殉职的那位警察。好的,今天我们学习的词是half-staff...
