今天我们要学的词是 alma mater。
Alma mater is spelled as a-l-m-a, and mater, m-a-t-e-r. Alma mater 就是“母校”的意思。
John McCain will be buried Sunday at his college alma mater, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. , the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland，刚刚去世的美国资深参议员麦凯恩星期日在他母校美国海军学院下葬。
Alma mater 也可以指“校歌”，The fact that people still come together to sing the Alma Mater, whether we win or lose (the football game), is heartwarming, 人们不管球赛输赢，都会齐声唱起校歌，这让人感到温暖。
不过记得用作校歌的时候，Alma Mater要以大写字母开头。
