捷克及斯洛伐克国家博物馆及图书馆
地方性遗产
您所在社区内，有那些种族？他们之中那一个，拥有表彰自己常规的博物馆？爱荷华州的锡达拉皮兹(Cedar
Rapids)也许看起来不像是一个，拥有表彰捷克及斯洛伐克的博物馆的地方，但它正是捷克及斯洛伐克国家博物馆及图书馆的所在地。
1996年10月，三国的首长：美国总统比尔柯林顿、捷克共和国总统哈维尔及斯洛伐克共和国总统麦克高华，共同出席该博物馆及图书馆的落成典礼。这座博物馆及图书馆是为保存锡达拉皮兹地区，首批移民的文化常规而建，即捷克及斯洛伐克农民。虽然捷克及斯洛伐克是不同的民族，但他们却拥有相同的斯拉夫常规。其中一个捷克及斯洛伐克文化所共有的有趣观点是，他们都将蜘蛛视为好运的象征。下次当您看见蜘蛛时，记得说：「dobr'y
den」，它代表捷克字的好运！
What are some of the ethnic groups in your community? Do any of them have a museum to honor their heritage? Cedar Rapids, Iowa, may not seem a likely place for a museum honoring Czechs and Slovaks, but that's exactly where you will find the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library.
In October 1996, three heads of state, America's Bill Clinton, the Czech Republic's Vaclav Havel, and Slovakia's Michal Kovac dedicated the museum and library, which were created to preserve the cultural traditions of some of the first immigrants to the Cedar Rapids area -- Czech and Slovak farmers. Although there are differences, Czechs and Slovaks share a common Slavic heritage. An interesting piece of shared Czech and Slovak culture is that spiders are considered good luck. So don't forget to say "dobr'y den" the next time you see a spider. It means "good day" in Czech!
