晚會

My whole class decided to have a shindig to celebrate our graduationexcept for people born on February 29 who only have a birthday once every four years.No matter what age you are, birthdays are not a time for feeling blue or glum, but a great excuse for a wild party.If you are invited to a birthday party, you should take a small gift for the birthday boy or girl.If the party is to be held at their house, it is polite to take something to drink, either soft-drinks like Coke or Sprite or alcohol such as beer or wine.At some stage during the party, everyone will sing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy or girl.It is polite to sing along with everyone even if you don't know the words very well.Some birthday parties have a special theme, meaning that you should wear something that matches the theme.Many people don't like to dress in silly or funny clothes because they think they will be embarrassed.But it will be more embarrassing if you are the only one at the party who didn't!

每個人至少一年過一次生日-二月二十九日出生的人例外，他們每四年才過一次生日。不管你的年齡如何，過生日時都不應(yīng)該不開心，這是開瘋狂晚會的最好借口。如果你被邀請

晚會期間，每個人都要為壽星唱生日歌。禮貌的做法是跟大家一起哼唱，即使你不是很熟悉歌詞。

有些生日晚會有特殊的主題，也就是說你的著裝要符合主題。很多人不喜歡可笑滑稽的服裝因為他們認為這會讓他們感到尷尬?？扇绻頃现挥心阋粋€人穿著與眾不同則會讓自己更尷尬。

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?？墒沁@個神秘的圣徒是誰呢?而且，我們?yōu)槭裁磻c祝這個節(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-以及它的守護神-非常神秘。不過我們確實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修士，三世紀期間在羅馬傳道。當君主克勞迪亞斯二世認定單身男子比那些有妻子和家庭的男子做士兵更好時，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.瓦淪丁意識到這項法令是不道義的，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為他企圖幫助基督徒逃離嚴酷的羅馬監(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，瓦淪丁實際上自己發(fā)出了第一個“情人節(jié)”問候。有人相信瓦淪丁在監(jiān)獄的時候和來探望他的一個年輕女孩相戀了，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 ”，這個表達方式今天還被使用。

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性不確定，但是故事的確強調(diào)了他是一個有同情心的、英雄式的，以及最重要的是他是一個浪漫的人物。到中世紀的時候，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.這個獨特的習(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。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“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)時從女士那里收到巧克力的男士回贈如糖果等禮物的日子。這也是日本的一個獨特習(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。
