Lesson

Valentine's day 情人節(jié)

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of Saint Valentine.But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday?

每年的二月，糖果、鮮花和禮物跨越國界以圣·瓦淪丁的名義在情人間相互傳遞著。可是這個(gè)神秘的圣徒是誰呢?而且，我們?yōu)槭裁磻c祝這個(gè)節(jié)日?

The history of Valentine's Day--and its patron saint--is very mysterious.But we do know that February has long been a month of romance.Saint Valentine's Day, as we know it today, comes from both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.情人節(jié)的歷史-以及它的守護(hù)神-非常神秘。不過我們確實(shí)知道二月成為浪漫之月已經(jīng)很久了。正如我們今天所知道的，圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)起源于基督教和古羅馬的傳統(tǒng)。

So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome.When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young, single men--his crop of potential soldiers.那么，誰是圣·瓦淪丁?他又是怎么和這個(gè)古代習(xí)俗發(fā)生聯(lián)系的呢?一種傳說主張瓦淪丁是一個(gè)修士，三世紀(jì)期間在羅馬傳道。當(dāng)君主克勞迪亞斯二世認(rèn)定單身男子比那些有妻子和家庭的男子做士兵更好時(shí)，他傳令年輕、單身男子-那些可能成為他的士兵的人-不能結(jié)婚。

Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.瓦淪丁意識(shí)到這項(xiàng)法令是不道義的，他挑戰(zhàn)克勞迪亞斯并繼續(xù)秘密地為年輕情人們舉行婚禮。當(dāng)瓦淪丁的行為被發(fā)覺了之后，克勞迪亞斯下令將他處死。其它的故事提出瓦淪丁被處死可能是因?yàn)樗髨D幫助基督徒逃離嚴(yán)酷的羅馬監(jiān)獄。在那里，他們經(jīng)常遭到拷打和折磨。

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself.While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl--who may have been his jailor's daughter--who visited him during his confinement.Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today.根據(jù)一種傳說，瓦淪丁實(shí)際上自己發(fā)出了第一個(gè)“情人節(jié)”問候。有人相信瓦淪丁在監(jiān)獄的時(shí)候和來探望他的一個(gè)年輕女孩相戀了，女孩可能是典獄長的女兒。臨死前，據(jù)說他給她寫了一封信，落款是“From your Valentine ”，這個(gè)表達(dá)方式今天還被使用。

Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is unclear, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure.It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most

popular saints in England and France.盡管瓦淪丁傳說背后的真實(shí)性不確定，但是故事的確強(qiáng)調(diào)了他是一個(gè)有同情心的、英雄式的，以及最重要的是他是一個(gè)浪漫的人物。到中世紀(jì)的時(shí)候，瓦淪丁成為英格蘭和法國最受歡迎的圣徒之一也就不奇怪了。

But in Japan, Saint Valentine's Day is slightly different: The only ones doing the giving are females, and they usually send a gift of chocolates to their love interests.但是在日本，圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)有點(diǎn)不同：送禮物的只是女孩，而且她們通常根據(jù)戀人的喜好送巧克力做禮物。

This unique custom seems to have its roots in a campaign that a Japanese chocolate manufacturer started in 1958, promoting St.Valentine's Day as “the day women confess their love to a man with a gift of chocolate.” The manufacturer sold heart-shaped chocolates at a department store in Tokyo.Only five were sold that first year, but this “Valentine Sale” became more and more popular with each passing year, and the custom of females sending chocolates to males on Saint Valentine's Day gradually took root.這個(gè)獨(dú)特的習(xí)俗似乎源于一家日本巧克力生產(chǎn)商于1958年將圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)宣傳為“女人用巧克力做為禮物向她所愛的人表白愛意的日子?！钡耐茝V活動(dòng)。生產(chǎn)商在東京的一家百貨商店賣心型巧克力。第一年只賣出了五塊，不過這個(gè)“情人節(jié)銷售”逐年變得越來越受歡迎，而且在圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)女性給男性送巧克力的習(xí)俗也慢慢生根。

Today, chocolates are frequently given to members of one's own family.Gift giving on Saint Valentine's Day has also become quite common among school friends and colleagues at work.現(xiàn)在，人們經(jīng)常給自己的家人送巧克力。同學(xué)和同事之間在圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)送禮物也變得相當(dāng)普遍。

What's more, in Japan Saint Valentine's Day is followed up a month later by “White Day,” on March 14.This is the day when the men who received chocolates from women on Saint Valentine's Day give gifts like candy in return.This is also a custom unique to Japan, introduced and promoted by a Japanese confectionery company.But, perhaps because its history is still short, White Day is not yet as popular as St.Valentine's Day.此外，在日本圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)一個(gè)月之后的3月14日隨之而來的是“白色情人節(jié)”。這是圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)時(shí)從女士那里收到巧克力的男士回贈(zèng)如糖果等禮物的日子。這也是日本的一個(gè)獨(dú)特習(xí)俗，由日本的糖果公司發(fā)起并推廣。不過，也許是由于它的歷史還短的緣故，白色情人節(jié)還不如圣·瓦淪丁節(jié)那么普遍。
