美国最高法院裁定,唱国歌不是强制性的. Supreme Court rules singing national song is not mandatory.

最高法院驳回了一项挑战政府指令的请愿，该指令要求官员演唱国歌《Vande Mataram》。 The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition challenging a government directive requiring officials to sing the national song *Vande Mataram*. 法院认为这一要求"过早", 并指出该指令使用了"可能"一词, 表明它不是强制性的, 也没有法律处罚. The court ruled the requirement was "premature" and noted the directive uses the word "may," indicating it is not mandatory and carries no legal penalties for non-participation.
