“五道杠”英语怎么说

摘要:武汉一位名叫黄艺博的“五道杠”少先队总队长红遍微博，引起了众多网友的讨论。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Even more "commendable", according to netizens, is his white armband bearing five red strokes. Most Chinese adults never saw themselves or classmates in primary school get more than three strokes, which show the wearer to be a young pioneer leader in a school. Two strokes indicate the wearer is a monitor of a class and one stroke indicates he or she is the overseer of a small team.

据网友称，更令人称奇的是，他(黄艺博)佩戴了“五道杠”标志。大部分成人在小学只见过学校少先队大队长佩戴的“三道杠”，未见过比三道杠更多的“杠”。“两道杠”代表佩戴者是班长，“一道杠”则表示佩戴者是小队长。

【讲解】文中的 armband bearing five red strokes则是常说的“五道杠”，指的是少先队员佩戴的“五道杠”队章，也可以说成“five-stroke armband”，三道杠、二道杠、一道杠则可以分别说成three-stroke armband, two-stroke armband, one-stroke armband。Stroke在这里是“笔画”的意思，stroke还可以指各种不同的泳姿，比如back stroke(仰泳)、breast stroke(蛙泳)、butterfly stroke(蝶泳)等。
