During the commemoration, national flags flied at half-mast across the country and in all Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, and public recreational activities were suspended across the country.
在此期间,全国和驻外使领馆下半旗志哀,全国停止公共娱乐活动。
【单词讲解】
“下半旗”除了可以用这里的flags fly at half-mast表达之外,用flags fly at half-staff也是可以的。为什么会用mast和staff这两个词呢?因为mast本意是“桅杆”,后来也用来指“旗杆”,而staff其实是flagstaff的缩写,flagstaff相当于flagpole,本身就是“旗杆”的意思。
At 10:00 am, Chinese people nationwide observed three-minute silence to mourn for the deceased, while air raid sirens and horns of automobiles, trains and ships wailed in grief.
4月4日10时起,全国人民默哀3分钟,汽车、火车、舰船鸣笛,防空警报鸣响。
【单词讲解】
“默哀”比较常用的英文表达是observe (three-minute) silence (for someone)或者pay silent tribute (to someone)。Tribute可以表示“(对死者的)致敬,悼念,致哀”。例如:an obituary tribute(悼辞);此外,tribute还可以表示“颂词”,例如:a birthday tribute(生日祝福)。
