『壹』 美國情人節（英文介紹）

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine』s Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. 關於情人節的起源有許多種說法。有關人士認為情人節是一個名叫桑特-瓦倫丁的人士發起的。他是羅馬人，因為拒絕放棄基督教而於公元前269年2月14日慘遭殺害，這一天也正好是全城盛行彩票抽獎的日子。 Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer』s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". 而另外一種說法更具有傳奇色彩，相傳桑特-瓦倫丁曾留下一本日記給了獄卒的女兒，署名為「你的情人」，據說這名獄卒的女兒就是桑特-瓦倫丁的情人。 Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple ring the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. 還有其它的說法也頗為有趣。比如說有人認為在克勞迪亞斯君王統治時期，桑特-瓦倫丁曾經是一名神父，因為公然挑戰克勞迪亞斯君王的權威身陷囹圄。所以公元前496年羅馬教皇格萊西亞斯特意將2月14日作為一個特別的日子以紀念桑特-瓦倫丁。 Graally, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.此後2月14日就成為了一個具有特殊意義的日子。在這天人們向自己心儀的人傳遞信息以示愛意。而理所當然的桑特 瓦倫丁也就成為了為戀愛中的男女們牽線搭橋的人。在2月14日這天人們會特意做詩或者用一些小禮物送給自己心愛的人。而且人們還會組織各種各樣的聚會來慶祝這個特殊的節日。 In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introced in the 1800』s and now the date is very commercialised. 艾瑟-霍蘭德小姐是美國第一位因為發送情人節卡片而受到榮譽獎勵的人。早在19世紀初情人節就已處露商業化的端倪。而如今情人節已經完全被商業化了。 比如每當每年2月14日來臨的時候，一些城鎮如羅夫蘭、克羅拉多等，這里的人們都要派送大量的為情人節特備的卡片。 The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school. 而在這天人們往往吟歌做詩並且把這些寫入卡片中送給自己喜歡的人以表達自己的愛意。而在學校里孩子們也喜歡互增賀卡來度過這個特殊的節日。久而久之就形成了一種習俗並且延續至今天。

『肆』 中西方情人節的習俗英文版

情人節來歷一:

每年2月14日，是西方傳統的聖瓦倫丁節（Valentine's Day），又稱「情人節」。

公元三世紀時，古羅馬有一位暴君叫克勞多斯（Claudius）。離暴君的宮殿不遠，有一座非常漂亮的神廟。修士瓦倫丁（Valentine） 就住在這里。羅馬人非常崇敬他，男女老幼，不論貧富貴賤，總會群集在他的周圍，在祭壇的熊熊聖火前，聆聽瓦倫丁的祈禱。

古羅馬的戰事一直連綿不斷，暴君克勞多斯徵召了大批公民前往戰場，人們怨聲載道。男人們不願意離開家庭，小夥子們不忍與情人分開。克勞多斯暴跳如雷，他傳令人們不許舉行婚禮，甚至連所有已訂了婚的也馬上要解除婚約。許多年輕人就這樣告別愛人，悲憤地走向戰場。年輕的姑娘們也由於失去愛侶，抑鬱神傷。

瓦倫丁對暴君的虐行感到非常難過。當一對情侶來到神廟請求他的幫助時，瓦倫丁在神聖的祭壇前為它們悄悄地舉行了婚禮。人們一傳十，十傳百，很多人來到這里，在瓦淪丁的幫助下結成伴侶。

消息終於傳進了宮殿，傳到了暴君的耳里。克勞多斯又一次暴跳如雷，他命令士兵們沖進神廟，將瓦倫丁從一對正在舉行婚禮的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。人們苦苦哀求暴君的劾免，但都徒勞而返。瓦倫丁終於在地牢里受盡折磨而死。悲傷的朋友們將他安葬於聖普拉（St. Praxedes）教堂。那一天是2月14日，那一年是公元270年。

另外還有一個版本。傳說中瓦倫丁是最早的基督徒之一，那個時代做一名基督徒意味著危險和死亡。為掩護其他殉教者，瓦倫丁被抓住，投入了監牢。在那裡他治癒了典獄長女兒失明的雙眼。當暴君聽到著一奇跡時，他感到非常害怕，於是將瓦倫丁斬首示眾。據傳說，在行刑的那一天早晨，瓦倫丁給典獄長的女兒寫了一封情意綿綿的告別信，落款是: From your Valentine （寄自你的瓦倫丁）

歷史學家們更願意刨根揪底，他們關於情人節的演繹似乎令人信服。其實遠遠早於公元270年，當羅馬城剛剛奠基時，周圍還是一片荒野，成群的狼四處游盪。在羅馬人崇拜的眾神中，畜牧神盧波庫斯（Lupercus）掌管著對牧羊人和羊群的保護。每年二月中，羅馬人會舉行盛大的典禮來慶祝牧神節。那時的日歷與現在相比，要稍微晚一些，所以牧神節實際上是對即將來臨的春天的慶祝。

也有人說這個節日是慶祝法烏努斯神（Faunus），它類似於古希臘人身羊足，頭上有角的潘神（Pan），主管畜牧和農業。牧神節的起源實在是過於久遠了，連公元前一世紀的學者們都無法確認。但是這一節日的重要性是不容置疑的。例如史料記載，安東尼（Mark Antony）就是在公元前44年的牧神節上將王冠授與凱撒（Julius Caesar）的。

每年的二月十五日，修士們會聚集在羅馬城中巴倫丁（Palantine）山上的一個洞穴旁，據說在這里，古羅馬城的奠基者（Romilus and Remus）被一隻母狼扶育長大。在節日的各項慶典中，有一項是年輕的貴族們，手持羊皮鞭，在街道上奔跑。年輕婦女們會聚集在街道兩旁，祈望羊皮鞭抽打到她們頭上。人們相信這樣會使她們更容易生兒育女。在拉丁語中，羊皮鞭被叫做februa，鞭打叫做fabruatio，實際上都含有'純潔'的意思。二月的名字（February）就是由此而來。

隨著羅馬勢力在歐洲的擴張，牧神節的習俗被帶到了現在的法國和英國等地。人們最樂此不疲的一項節日活動類似於摸彩。年輕女子們的名字被放置於盒子內，然後年輕男子上前抽取。抽中的一對男女成為情人，時間是一年或更長。

基督教的興起使人們紀念眾神的習俗逐漸淡漠。教士們不希望人們放棄節日的歡樂，於是將牧神節（Lupercalia）改成瓦倫丁節（Valentine's Day），並移至二月十四日。這樣，關於瓦倫丁修士的傳說和古老的節日就被自然地結合在一起。這一節日在中世紀的英國最為流行。未婚男女的名字被抽出後，他們會互相交換禮物，女子在這一年內成為男子的Valentine。 在男子的衣袖上會綉上女子的名字，照顧和保護該女子於是成為該男子的神聖職責。

有史可查的現代意義上的瓦倫丁情人是在十五世紀早期。法國年輕的奧爾良大公（Duke of Orleans）在阿根科特（Agincourt）戰役中被英軍俘虜，然後被關在倫敦塔中很多年。他寫給妻子很多首情詩，大約60首保存至今。用鮮花做瓦倫丁節的信物在大約兩百年後出現。法王亨利四世（Henry IV）的一個女兒在瓦倫丁節舉行了一個盛大的晚會。所有女士從選中她做Valentine的男士那裡獲得一束鮮花。

就這樣，延續著古老的義大利，法國和英國習俗，我們得以在每年的二月十四日向自己的朋友傳遞愛的信息。鮮花，心形糖果，用花邊和摺穗掩蓋了送物人名字的信物，不僅僅是代表著一份份真摯的愛，更是對敢於反抗暴政的瓦倫丁修士的最好緬懷。

情人節來歷二:
在古羅馬時期，二月十四日是為表示對約娜的尊敬而設的節日。約娜是羅馬眾神的皇後，羅馬人同時將她尊奉為婦女和婚姻之神。接下來的二月十五日則被「盧帕撒拉節」，是用來對約娜治下的其他眾神表示尊敬的節日。

在古羅馬，年輕人和少女的生活是被嚴格分開的。然而，在盧帕撒拉節，小夥子們可以選擇一個自己心愛的姑娘的名字刻在花瓶上。這樣，過節的時候，小夥子就可以與自己選擇的姑娘一起跳舞，慶祝節日。如果被選中的姑娘也對小夥子有意的話，他們便可一直配對，而且最終他們會墜入愛河並一起步入教堂結婚。後人為此而將每年的二月十四日定為情人節。

情人節來歷三:
傳說公元三世紀時，古羅馬有一位暴君叫克勞多斯（ Claudius）。離暴君的宮殿不遠，有一座非常漂亮的神廟。修士瓦倫丁（ Valentine）就住在這里。羅馬人非常崇敬他，男女老幼，不論貧富貴賤，總會群集在他的周圍，在祭壇的熊熊聖火前，聆聽瓦倫丁的祈禱。

這一時代，古羅馬的戰事一直連綿不斷，暴君克勞多斯徵召了大批公民前往戰場，為了保證人們忠於戰爭，他下令禁止人們於此時結婚，甚至連已訂了婚人也馬上要解除婚約。許多年輕人就這樣告別愛人，滿懷悲憤地走向戰場。

瓦倫丁對克勞多斯的虐行感到非常難過。當一對情侶來到神廟請求他的幫助時，瓦倫丁在神聖的祭壇前為它們悄悄地舉行了婚禮。人們一傳十，十傳百，很多人來到這里，在瓦倫丁的幫助下結成伴侶。消息終於傳到了克勞多斯的耳里。他暴跳如雷，命令士兵們沖進神廟，將瓦倫丁從一對正在舉行婚禮的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。公元270年的2月14日，瓦倫丁在地牢里受盡折磨而死。悲傷的朋友們將他安葬於聖普拉教堂。

為了紀念瓦倫丁，後來的人們把這一天作為「情人節」。

『伍』 情人節英文介紹

February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday. First of all, Valentine's Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off[1]. On Valentine's Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by. The cards are called "valentines". They are very colourful, often decorated with hearts, flowers or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. The basic message of the verse is always "Be My Valentine", "Be My Sweet Heart" or "Lover". A valentine is anonymous, or sometimes signed "Guess who". The person receiving it has to guess who sent it. This can lead to interesting speculation. And that's half the fun of valentines.
The affectionate message might be carried by a heart - shaped box of chocolate candies, or by a bouquet of flowers tied with red ribbon. But in whatever form, the message is the same - "Will you be my valentine?"
One of the symbols of St. Valentine's Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printed on the card, who is winged infant without wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love[2] immedia-tely, maybe with the first person to come along. Sometimes one arrow would go through[3] two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have picture of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love.
But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about Valen-tine's Day that most people have come to believe[4]. One story is about a Christian man whose name sounded something like "Valentine." He lived around 250 A.D. At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever. Christian couples came to Valentine to be married. So Valentine would marry them in a Christian way. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor.One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison. And the leaves were shaped like a heart.
二月十四日是一個復雜而又有趣的節日。首先，情人節不是一個休假日。沒人放假。在情人節這一天，人們愛誰或想得到誰的愛，就可給那個人寄去充滿浪漫情趣的卡片。這種卡片叫"情人卡"。情人卡色彩鮮艷，常裝飾有心、花或鳥，裡面還印有幽默或感傷性的詩句。這些詩句傳遞的基本信息總是"做我的情人吧"、"做我甜蜜的心上人吧"、"情人"。 情人卡是不署名的，有時也可簽上"猜是誰"。收到卡片的人要猜是誰寄的。這樣可產生有趣的推測，這也正是情人卡的一些樂趣。
你可以用一個心臟形狀的盒子，裡面放上巧克力糖，來傳遞愛的信息，也可用綵帶紮上一束鮮花來傳遞。不管用什麼方式，都是一樣的--"你願做我的情人嗎？"
情人節的標志之一是羅馬愛神--丘比特。丘比特經常被印在卡片上，他是一個赤身裸體、長有翅膀的嬰兒，手裡拿著箭，擺出一副要射心的姿勢。他把愛之箭射中一個人的心，這個人會很快墜入愛河，可能是和他（她）第一個見到的人。有時候，一隻箭會射中兩顆心，把它們穿在一起。所以在二月十四日，我們不僅有基督的"聖·瓦倫登"的畫像，還有非基督的羅馬愛神丘比特的畫像。
大多數人相信的情人節的故事來源於基督教。其中有個故事提到，有一個基督徒的名字聽起來象"瓦倫登"。他大約生活在公元前250年。那時羅馬皇帝克勞迪烏斯禁止羅馬士兵以任何借口結婚。信奉基督教的夫婦就去找"瓦倫登"主持結婚。"瓦倫登"以基督教方式為他們秘密舉行婚禮後來被羅馬皇帝發現送進監獄。傳說他在葉子上做標記給他朋友傳遞信息，然後把葉子扔出監獄的窗外。這些葉子的形狀是心形的。

『玖』 情人節英文介紹，50詞，

St. Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid（愛神丘比特）, the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.
Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded（斬首）, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.

February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!

In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.

Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentines," a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in jail. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt（真心真意的）. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.
