Why does the dove （鸽子）with an olive branch （橄榄枝）in its mouth mean peace （和平）？

The Great Flood （大洪水）lasted（持续）150days. Noah’s family and all the animals were in the big ship. One day, the rain stopped. Noah flew （放飞）a crow （乌鸦）out of the big ship ,but the crow didn’t come back. Noah flew a dove, the dove came back after seven days. Noah flew a dove, the dove came back after seven days. Noah knew(know -knew)land was far far away ,the dove didn’t find land. Another seven days passed, Noah flew the dove out of the big ship again. In the evening, the dove came back with a green olive branch in its mouth （嘴）. This time Noah knew that land was near, he was very pleased. Noah and his family and all the animals got out of the big ship when they reached land. They built houses and started to farm. Noah had many sons and daughters; the animals and trees all grew, land was colorful again.

People think both the dove and the olive branch mean a peaceful（和平的）land and a peaceful life, so they draw a picture of a dove with an olive branch in its mouth to show their love for peace.

为什么嘴里衔着橄榄枝的和平鸽意味着和平？

大洪水已经一百五十天了，诺亚和他的家人以及各种各样的动物都呆在大船里。一天，大雨停了，诺亚从大船里放飞了一只乌鸦，但是，乌鸦没有回来。诺亚又放飞了一只鸽子，七天之后，鸽子回来了，什么也没有衔回来。诺亚知道陆地还很远很远，鸽子没有找到陆地。又一个七天过去了，诺亚再一次把鸽子放了出去。晚上，鸽子嘴里衔着绿色的橄榄枝飞回来了。诺言亚知道陆地就在附近，他非常高兴。诺亚一家人和所有的动物从船里出来踏上了陆地。他们建造房子，开始耕作。诺亚有了很多儿子、女儿，动物和树木也都成长起来，陆地又变得绚丽多彩。

人们认为鸽子和橄榄枝代表和平的土地与和平的生活。他们描绘嘴里衔着橄榄枝的和平鸽以表达他们对和平的热爱。
