關(guān)于情人節的由來(lái)英文版
下面是小編為你們尋找的情人節的由來(lái)英文版，希望你們會(huì )喜歡喔
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)于情人節的起源有許多種說(shuō)法。有關(guān)人士認為情人節是一個(gè)名叫桑特 瓦倫丁的人士發(fā)起的。他是羅馬人，因為拒絕放棄基督教而于公元前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". 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.
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”，據說(shuō)這名獄卒的女兒就是桑特 瓦倫丁的情人。還有其它的說(shuō)法也頗為有趣。比如說(shuō)有人認為在克勞迪亞斯君王統治時(shí)期，桑特 瓦侖丁曾經(jīng)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(gè)特別的日子以紀念桑特 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.
此后2月14日就成為了一個(gè)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(ài)意。而理所當然的桑特 瓦侖丁也就成為了為戀愛(ài)中的男女們牽線(xiàn)搭橋的人。在2月14日這天人們會(huì )特意做詩(shī)或者用一些小禮物送給自己心愛(ài)的人。而且人們還會(huì )組織各種各樣的聚會(huì )來(lái)慶祝這個(gè)特殊的節日。
In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's 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.
艾瑟 霍蘭德小姐是美國第一位因為發(fā)送情人節卡片而受到榮譽(yù)獎勵的人。早在19世紀初情人節就已處露商業(yè)化的端倪。而如今情人節已經(jīng)完全被商業(yè)化了。 比如每當每年2月14日來(lái)臨的時(shí)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(shī)并且把這些寫(xiě)入卡片中送個(gè)自己喜歡的人以表達自
己的愛(ài)意。而在學(xué)校里孩子門(mén)也喜歡互增賀卡來(lái)度過(guò)這個(gè)特殊的節日。久而久之就形成了一種習俗并且延續至今天。
