1982年大學入學考試中,英文作文題目〝The National Flag and I〞,希以80個字左右寫在試卷內,有一考生這樣寫著:
When I see our national flag, it makes me think of all the things stands for.(每當我看到我們的國旗,它便使我想到它所代表的一切。)
For instance, the flag is the symbol of our national’s power and independence. When I see the flag blowing in the wind, I feel proud to be a citizen of R.O.C.(舉例來說,國旗是國家權力和獨立的象徵。當我看到國旗在風中飄揚,我以身為一個中華民國的國民為傲。)
I’m also proud because I know our flag stands for peace, justice and fraternity among men. All told, I love our national flag very much, and will protect it at all times.(因為我知道,我們的國旗象徵人與人之間的和平、正義和博愛,因此我也引以為傲。總之,我很愛我們的國旗,而且任何時候會保護它。)
