　　西方情人節(jié)英語(yǔ)介紹(一)

　　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(guān)于情人節(jié)的起源有許多種說(shuō)法。有關(guān)人士認(rèn)為情人節(jié)是一個(gè)名叫桑特-瓦倫丁的人士發(fā)起的。他是羅馬人，因?yàn)榫芙^放棄____而于公元前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(jiǎng)的日子。

　　而另外一種說(shuō)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(jù)說(shuō)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 during 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(shuō)法也頗為有趣。比如說(shuō)有人認(rèn)為在克勞迪亞斯君王統(tǒng)治時(shí)期，桑特-瓦侖丁曾經(jīng)是一名神父，因?yàn)楣惶魬?zhàn)克勞迪亞斯君王的權(quán)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(gè)特別的日子以紀(jì)念桑特-瓦倫丁。

　　Gradually, 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.

　　艾瑟-霍蘭德小姐是美國(guó)第一位因?yàn)榘l(fā)送情人節(jié)卡片而受到榮譽(yù)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)的人。早在19世紀(jì)初情人節(jié)就已處露商業(yè)化的端倪。而如今情人節(jié)已經(jīng)完全被商業(yè)化了。 比如每當(dāng)每年2月14日來(lái)臨的時(shí)候，一些城鎮(zhèn)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(jié)特備的卡片。
