『貳』 用英文介紹情人節

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**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**，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。

『叄』 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』 情人節的來歷(要中英文結合的)

情人節，又叫聖瓦倫丁節或聖華倫泰節（St. Valentine's Day），即每年的2月14日，是西方的傳統節日之一。男女在這一天互送巧克力、賀卡和花，用以表達愛意或友好。

關於情人節的起源，大致有2種不同說法：

說法一：

公元3世紀，羅馬帝國皇帝克勞迪烏斯二世在首都羅馬宣布廢棄所有的婚姻承諾，當時是出於戰爭的考慮，使更多無所牽掛的男人可以走上爭戰的疆場。一名叫瓦侖廷（Sanctus Valentinus）的神父沒有遵照這個旨意而繼續為相愛的年輕人舉行教堂婚禮。事情被告發後，瓦侖廷神父先是被鞭打，然後被石頭擲打，最後在公元270年2月14日這天被送上了絞架被絞死。14世紀以後，人們就開始紀念這個日子。現在，中文譯為「情人節」的這個日子，在西方國家裡就被稱為Valentine's Day，用以紀念那位為情人做主而犧牲的神父。

與此相關的其他傳說，包括這位神父幫助天主教徒從羅馬監獄里逃脫而被處死。

在這個神父在監獄里時，據說他送出了第一個「情人節」祝福。據說他愛上了曾來監獄看望他，獄長失明的女兒亞斯得莉斯，並奇跡地治好了她的眼睛，使之重見光明。在他臨刑前，給女孩一封信，署名「from your Valentine」（這個表達現在還在使用）。盡管這些傳說不真切，但是卻表達了他的富有同情心、英雄氣概、以及最重要的浪漫主義的人格。

說法二：

來源於古羅馬的牧神節（Lupercalia Festival）

這個說法是基督教會慶祝這一天是為了把古羅馬的牧神節（每年的2月15日慶祝，為了保佑人、田、牲畜的生產力）基督教化。在古羅馬，2月春天的開始，被認為是純潔的。按照一定的儀式打掃房屋，然後把鹽水和一種小麥灑遍房間。

牧神節，是為了慶祝羅馬的農神Faunus 和羅馬的奠基人Romulus和Remus。這個節日開始時，Luperci的成員（也就是羅馬祭司的一種）會聚集在一個神聖的山洞裡。這個山洞被認為是還是嬰兒的Romulus和Remus待過的地方。在這個洞里，他們由一頭母狼，lupa，照料。祭司們會犧牲一頭羊，為了生殖；一隻狗，為了純潔。

然後男孩子會把羊的皮撕成小條，蘸上神聖的血後，跑到街上用它輕輕的抽打女人和田裡的莊稼。羅馬的女人不僅不會害怕，反而會樂意被羊皮條接觸，因為據說這樣她們在這一年裡就會生殖力旺盛。後來，根據傳說，這個城市所有的女人會把自己的名字放到一個花瓶里。單身漢們會從裡面選一個。這樣這一年裡，他們就是一對。通常他們會結婚。

教皇在大約公元498年宣布2月14日是情人節。羅馬人的這種婚配方式被基督教徒認為是不合法的。中世紀時，在英國和法國，通常認為2月14日是鳥交配的季節。因此就把此日增加了一個內容，那就是它應該是一個浪漫的日子。最早的情人節禮物是奧爾良的公爵，查理斯在倫敦塔獄中寫給他妻子的詩。因為他在Agincourt戰役中被俘虜了。現在這個寫於1415年的祝福被收藏在倫敦的大英博物館。幾年以後，英皇亨利五世雇John Lydgate寫了一首曲子給Catherine of Valois作為情人節禮物。
Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day is on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards or candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-proced greeting cards. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.[1]

In the United States, the marketing of Valentine's Day has tagged it as a "Hallmark holiday." A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day.
At least three early Christian Roman martyrs named Valentinus are known (see Saint Valentine for more details). In the two most prominent Valentinus traditions, represented by late fictionalized acta that were both included in Bede, the martyrs were venerated on the same day, February 14, though the years, as they represent two traditions, varied according to the source.[2] An overview of attested traditions relevant to the holiday is presented below, with the legends about Valentine himself discussed in the end.

[edit] February fertility festivals
It has been hypothesised [specify][citation needed] that Graeco-Roman holidays devoted to fertility and love might be related to St Valentine's Day, since there is some correspondence between the time when they were celebrated.

On the ancient Athenian calendar, the period between mid-January and mid-February was the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera.

In Ancient Rome, February 15 was Lupercalia. Plutarch wrote:

Lupercalia, of which many write that it was anciently celebrated by shepherds, and has also some connection with the Arcadian Lycaea. At this time many of the noble youths and of the magistrates run up and down through the city naked, for sport and laughter striking those they meet with shaggy thongs. And many women of rank also purposely get in their way, and like children at school present their hands to be struck, believing that the pregnant will thus be helped in delivery, and the barren to pregnancy.[5]

The word Lupercalia comes from lupus, or wolf, so the holiday may be connected with the legendary wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus. Priests of this cult, luperci would travel to the lupercal, the cave where the she-wolf who reared Romulus and Remus allegedly lived, and sacrifice animals (two goats and a dog). The blood would then be scattered in the streets, to bring fertility and keep the wolves away from the fields. [6] Lupercalia was a festival local to the city of Rome. The more general Festival of Juno Februa, meaning "Juno the purifier "or "the chaste Juno," was celebrated on February 13-14. Pope Gelasius I (492-496) abolished Lupercalia. Some historians [specify][citation needed] argue that Candlemas (then held on February 14, later moved to February 2) was promoted as its replacement, but this feast was already being celebrated in Jerusalem by AD 381. The pope also declared in 496 that the feast of St. Valentine would be on February 14.

[edit] Chaucer's love birds

A portrait of English poet Geoffrey Chaucer by Thomas Hoccleve (1412). The earliest known link between Valentine's Day and romance is found in Chaucer's poetry.The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer:[3]

For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate].
This poem was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia[7]. A treaty providing for a marriage was signed on May 2, 1381.[8] (When they were married eight months later, he was 13 or 14. She was 14.)

On the liturgical calendar, May 2 is the saints' day for Valentine of Genoa. This St. Valentine was an early bishop of Genoa who died around AD 307.[9][10] Readers incorrectly assumed that Chaucer was referring to February 14 as Valentine's Day. However, mid-February is an unlikely time for birds to be mating in England.[4]

Chaucer's Parliament of Foules is generally set in a supposed context of an old tradition, but in fact there was no such tradition before Chaucer. The speculative explanation of sentimental customs, posing as historical fact, had their origins among eighteenth-century antiquaries, notably Alban Butler, the author of Butler's Lives of Saints, and have been perpetuated even by respectable modern scholars. Most notably, "the idea that Valentin'e Day customed perpetuated those of the Roman Lupercalia has been accepted uncritically and repeated, in various forms, up to the present"[5]

[edit] Medieval and modern times

Swedish calendar showing St Valentine's Day, February 14, 1712Using the language of the law courts for the rituals of courtly love, a "High Court of Love" was established in Paris on Valentine's Day in 1400. The court dealt with love contracts, betrayals, and violence against women. Judges were selected by women on the basis of a poetry reading.[11][12]

The earliest surviving valentine is a fifteenth-century rondeau written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his "valentined" wife, which commences.

Je suis desja d'amour tanné
Ma tres doulce Valentinée… (Charles d'Orléans, Rondeau VI, lines 1–2)

At the time, the ke was being held in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt, 1415.[6]

Valentine's Day is mentioned ruefully by Ophelia in Hamlet (1600-01): "Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's Day."

In 1836, relics of St. Valentine of Rome were donated by Pope Gregory XVI to the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. In the 1960s, the church was renovated and relics restored to prominence.[13]

In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints, the feastday of Saint Valentine on 14 February was removed from the General Roman Calendar and relegated to particular (local or even national) calendars for the following reason: "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on 14 February."[7] The feast day is still celebrated in Balzan and in Malta where relics of the saint are claimed to be found, and also throughout the world by Traditionalist Catholics who follow the older, pre-Vatican II calendar.

Valentine's Day postcard, circa 1910
Tree decorated for Valentine's DayValentine's Day was probably imported into North America in the 19th century by British settlers. In the United States, the first mass-proced valentines of embossed paper lace were proced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland (1828-1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts. Her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary."

In the second half of the twentieth century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all manner of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman. Such gifts typically include roses and chocolates. In the 1980s, the diamond instry began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry.

The day has come to be associated with a generic platonic greeting of "Happy Valentine's Day."

In some North American elementary schools, students are asked to give a Valentine card or small gift to everyone in the class. The greeting cards of these students often mention what they appreciate about each other.

[edit] The evolving legend
The Early Medieval acta of either Saint Valentine were excerpted by Bede and briefly expounded in Legenda Aurea,[8] According to that version, St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. Claudius was impressed by Valentine and had a discussion with him, attempting to get him to convert to Roman paganism in order to save his life. Valentine refused and tried to convert Claudius to Christianity instead. Because of this, he was executed. Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.

Legenda Aurea still providing no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first "valentine" himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved,[9] as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed,[10] or both.[11] It was a note that read "From your Valentine."[9]

In another apparently modern embellishment[citation needed], while Valentine was imprisoned, people would leave him little notes, folded up and hidden in cracks in the rocks around his cell. He would find them and offer prayers for them.

情人節在英語里的叫法是St. Valentine's Day (原意為：「聖瓦倫丁節」)。從字面上來看，很難看出中西方叫法之間有什麼聯系。這裡面隱藏著一個動人的 故事 。公元三世紀時，古羅馬有一位暴君叫克勞多斯(Claudius)。當時，古羅馬內外戰爭頻仍，為了補足兵員，暴君下令：凡是一定年齡的男子，都必須進入軍隊為國家效勞。自此，丈夫離開妻子，少年離開戀人，整個羅馬籠罩在綿長的相思中。然而，暴政禁止不了愛情。離暴君的宮殿不遠，有一座非常漂亮的神廟。修士瓦淪丁(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，聆聽瓦淪丁的祈禱。

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，瓦倫帝尼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，將瓦淪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。瓦淪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教堂。那一天是2月14日，那一年是公元270年。

Historians are more willing to follow at the end, they perform on Valentine's day seems to be convincing. In fact, far earlier than 270 BC, when the city of Rome has just founded, or around a wilderness, flocks of wolves wander. In the worship of the gods, animal husbandry God Lupo Cuse (Lupercus) is in charge of the protection of the shepherd and his flock. In February each year, the Romans held a grand ceremony to celebrate the festival of God. At that time, and now the calendar compared to a little bit later, so the Lupercalia festival is a celebration of the coming of spring. Also said that this festival is celebrated Faunus (Faunus), which is similar to the ancient Greeks sheep foot, with horns on its head pan (Pan), director of animal husbandry and agriculture.

The origin of the festival is too long, and even scholars in the first Century BC can not be confirmed. But the importance of this festival is beyond dispute.

Such as historical records, Anthony (Mark Antony) is in 44 BC Faun festival will crown grant Caesar (Julius Caesar).

,, close to February 15 each year, the monks will gather in a cave in Rome CMB become Ding Palantine) hill, said here, the founder of the ancient city of Rome Romilus andRemus is a she wolf Fu Yu grew up. In the ceremony of the festival, a young aristocrat who, armed with sheep whip, running in the street. Young women will be gathered in the streets, pray for the sheep whip to their heads. People believe that this will make them more likely to have children. In Latin, called Februa sheep whip, whip called fabruatio, actually contain 'pure' meaning. The name (February) of February is the result.

With the forces of Rome's expansion in Europe, the Lupercalia festival was brought to the present France and Britain etc.. Most people always enjoy it a festival similar to the lottery. The young woman's name was placed in the box, and then the young man stepped forward to extract. A pair of men and women to become lovers, the time is one year or longer.

The rise of Christianity has made people remember the customs of the gods. Priests don't want people to give up the festive joy, then turned to become Ding (Valentine's day) Festival Lupercalia (Lupercalia) modified, and moved to February 14. So, on Valentine's brother and the ancient legend of the festival was a natural combination. The festival was the most popular in Britain in the middle ages. Unmarried men and women names are extracted, they exchange gifts, women become the Valentine man of the year.

Embroidered woman's name in the men's sleeve, care and protection of the women become the sacred ty of man.

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淪丁Palantine)山上的一個洞穴旁，據說在這里，古羅馬城的奠基者(Romilus andRemus)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。liuxue86.com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。

____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)改成瓦淪丁節( Valentine's Day)，並移至二月十四日。這樣，關於瓦淪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。

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentines 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.

Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailers daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine".

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.

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.

In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introced in the 1800s and now the date is very commercialised.

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.

翻譯：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。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。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-瓦侖丁曾經是一名神父，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。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 瓦侖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。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。而在這天人們往往吟歌做詩並且把這些寫入卡片中送個自己喜歡的人以表達自己的愛意。而在學校里孩子門也喜歡互增 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。
