God Bless America
/ˌɡɒd bles əˈmerɪkə/
/ˌɡɑːd bles əˈmerɪkə/
- a song praising America that was written by Irving Berlin in 1919. It became the 'unofficial national anthem' for the US during the Second World War, when Kate Smith regularly sang it and it was frequently sung after September 11. Some Americans still want it to replace The Star-Spangled Banner.
上帝保佑美国：这是一首赞美美国的歌，由欧文·柏林（Irving Berlin）在1919年创作。在第二次世界大战期间，凯特·史密斯（Kate Smith）定期演唱，并成为美国的“非官方国歌”，并在9月11日之后经常演唱。美国人仍然希望它代替星条旗。
