vocabulary简明 Rousing, reverential, sometimes even revolutionary, an anthem is a song that represents the ideals of a group of people.
vocabulary扩展 Anthem comes from Old English antefn. The original word meant a song sung antiphonally, or in turns by two groups of singers. Today, anthem has little to do with the way the vocals are arranged and more to do with the content of the message. When a group of people sing an anthem, whether it’s the national anthem, or the anthem of your third-grader’s beetle-collecting club, they express their devotion to a cause they identify with.
