“Battle Hymn of the Republic,” first published in The Atlantic in 1862, still endures(持久存在) as a sacred(神圣的) national song, Jake Lundberg argued in the July issue. To mark the 250th anniversary(为纪念250周年) of America’s founding, we featured the poem on that issue’s cover.
杰克·伦德伯格在7月刊中提出，《共和国战歌》于1862年首次发表于《大西洋月刊》，至今仍是一首神圣的国民歌曲。为纪念美国建国250周年，我们将这首诗登上了该期封面。
Sometimes it’s the cover of the magazine that gets me(打动我). The July issue, featuring(以……为特色) the music for “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on the cover, sat on my piano and was played loudly and often.
有时候，打动我的正是杂志的封面。7月刊封面印有《共和国战歌》的乐谱，它一直放在我的钢琴上，被我大声而频繁地弹奏。
