乔治．柯汉 (George M. Cohan) 于1878年7月3日出生了

你最喜欢的歌曲创作者可能拿过葛莱美奖 (Grammy) ，但是这个创作者有没有拿过国会颁发的奖章呢？在1940年，国会颁发特别奖章给乔治．柯汉，以表彰他创作「在那里」 (Over There) 这首歌的功绩。当美国决定添加第一次世界大战时，柯汉以爱国的心态创作了这首歌曲。你有没有听过这首歌呢？如果没有，你应该在学校里听过他创作的另外一首歌。

Your favorite songwriter may have won a Grammy, but what about a medal from Congress? In 1940, Congress awarded George M. Cohan a special medal for composing "Over There." Cohan wrote the song as a patriotic tribute when the U.S. entered World War I. Have you heard of it? If not, there's another song he wrote that you might sing at school.
