俄亥俄州的州花,州鸟（北美红雀）,州徽,州旗所代表的意思,最后能用英文写

Answer 1

Ohio's State Flag 州旗
Ohio's state flag was adopted in 1902.The Ohio burgee,as the swallowtail design is properly called,was designed by John Eisemann.The large blue triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys,and the stripes represent roads and waterways.The 13 stars grouped about the circle represent the original states of the union; the 4 stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the union.The white circle with its red center not only represents the "O" in Ohio,but also suggests Ohio's famous nickname,"The Buckeye State".
Ohio's State Seal 州徽
The State of Ohio has had an official seal for more than two hundred years.Over that time,the state government has modified the seal several times.The current state seal was adopted in 1996.
The seal illustrates Ohio's diverse geography.In the background stands Mount Logan in Ross County.Separating Mount Logan from the rest of the seal is the Scioto River.In the foreground is a freshly harvested wheat field.In the field stands a sheaf of wheat,illustrating the importance of agriculture in Ohio.Nearby stand seventeen arrows that resemble the sheaf of wheat.The seventeen arrows represent Ohio's Native Americans as well as the fact that Ohio was the seventeenth state to join the United States of America.At the top of the seal is the sun,with thirteen rays protruding outwards.The thirteen rays represent the thirteen colonies that became the original thirteen states of the United States.Some early versions of the seal also had a canal boat on the river.
According to historical lore,the seal was based on the eastern view from Adena,the home of Thomas Worthington near Chillicothe.Worthington was one of Ohio's first two United States senators and he served as the sixth governor of the state.Today,Adena is a museum operated by the Ohio Historical Society.Most scholars now believe that Adena's view did not inspire the seal.
Ohio's State Flower - Red Carnation (Scarlet Carnation) 州花
Ohio adopted its official state flower,the red carnation,in 1904.The state legislature chose the red carnation to honor President William McKinley,an Ohioan,who was assassinated in 1901.McKinley liked to wear red carnations stuck in his buttonhole on the lapel of his jacket.When Legislator Elijah W.Hill introduced the adoption resolution on the floor of the Ohio House of Representatives,he said,in part:"England has the rose,France has the lily; Ireland,the shamrock; Scotland,the thistle.These flowers awaken in the hearts of the natives of these countries memories of home,fireside,childhood days,sweet sorrows,family ties,and incidents of the land of their nativity.To these ends we seek to adopt the scarlet carnation as Ohio's floral emblem."
Ohio's State Bird - The Cardinal 州鸟
In 1933,the Ohio General Assembly made the cardinal Ohio's state bird.The cardinal's scientific name is Cardinalis Cardinalis.
When Europeans first arrived in Ohio during the late 1600s and the early 1700s,cardinals were very rare to the area.Cardinals are an edge animal,living in shrubs and thickets,along the edges where woodlands meet fields,and in urban and suburban yards.In the 1700s,Ohio was 95% forested with very little appropriate habitat for cardinals.As forests were cleared,the habitat became more suitable for cardinals.By the late 1800s,cardinals had expanded into the modified habitat of Ohio and could be found in all of the state.In 1882,J.M.Wheaton reported seeing more than one hundred cardinals during a one-hour period in central portions of Ohio.During this period,some people trapped cardinals and sold them to people as pets.By the start of the twentieth century,cardinals existed as far north as the southern portions of Canada.Today,cardinals live in all of Ohio's eighty-eight counties and can be found in both rural and urban settings.
