情人节来历中英文版

第一种版本

Valentines day 是情人节在英语里的叫法。从字面上来看，很难看出中西方叫法之间有什么联系。这里面隐藏着一个动人的故事。

大约在公元三世纪的罗马，那时恺撒已经死去快三百年了，暴君Claudius当政。当时，罗马内外战争频仍，民不聊生。为了补足兵员，将战争进行到底，Claudius下令，凡是一定年龄范围内的男子，都必须进入罗马军队，以生命为国家效劳。自此，丈夫离开妻子，少年离开恋人。于是整个罗马便被笼罩在绵长的相思中。对此，暴君大为恼火。为了达到自己的目的，他竟然下令禁止国人举行结婚典礼，甚至要求已经结婚的毁掉婚约。

然而，暴政禁止不了爱情。就在暴君的国都里，居住着一位德高望重的修士，他就是Valentine,我们的主人公。他不忍看到一对对伴侣就这样生离死别，于是为前来请求帮助的情侣秘密地主持上帝的结婚典礼。一时间，这一令人振奋的消息在整个国度传开，更多的情侣秘密地赶来请求修士的帮助。

但是，事情很快还是被暴君知晓了，于

是他再一次显示了残暴面目--将修士打进大牢，最终折磨致死。修士死的那一天是2月14日，公元270年的2月14日。

人们为了纪念这个敢于与暴君斗争的人，渐渐地使得2月14日成为一个节日。很多世纪过去了，人们再也记不得Claudius的大名，再也记不得他的权杖与宝剑，但依然会纪念Valentine

第二种版本

在古罗马时期，二月十四日是为表示对约娜的尊敬而设的节日。约娜是罗马众神的皇后，罗马人同时将她尊奉为妇女和婚姻之神。接下来的二月十五日则被“卢帕撒拉节”，是用来对约娜治下的其他众神表示尊敬的节日。

在古罗马，年轻人和少女的生活是被严格分开的。然而，在卢帕撒拉节，小伙子们可以选择一个自己心爱的姑娘的名字刻在花瓶上。这样，过节的时候，小伙子就可以与自己选择的姑娘一起跳舞，庆祝节日。如果被选中的姑娘也对小伙子有意的话，他们便可一直配对，而且最终修士，因为那个日子是Valentinesday,是情人节。

他们会坠入爱河并一起步入教堂结婚。后人为此而将每年的二月十四日定为情人节。

第三种版本

一本英语辞典上注释说，范泰伦节（情人节）二月十四日，来源于古罗马的牧神节。据说鸟类在这一天开始交配。那时的风俗是：在牧神节期间，每个青年男子从一只盒子里抽签，盒子里放的是写有青年女子姓名的条子。抽到谁，谁就成为那个青年男子的心上人。后来这个节日改为纪念一位叫瓦伦丁的基督教圣徒。

古罗马青年基督教传教士圣瓦伦丁，冒险传播基督教义，被捕入狱，感动了老狱吏和他双目失明的女儿，得到了他们悉心照料。临刑前圣瓦伦丁给姑娘写了封信，表明了对姑娘的深情。在他被处死的当天，盲女在他墓前种了一棵开红花的杏树，以寄托自己的情思。这一天就是２月１４日。现在，在情人节里，许多小伙子还把求爱的圣瓦伦丁的明信片做成精美的工艺品，剪成蝴蝶和鲜花，以表示心诚志坚。姑娘们晚上将月桂树叶放在枕头上，希望梦见自己的情人。通常在情人节中，以赠送一枝红玫瑰来表达情人

St. Valentine's Day has roots in veral

different legends that have found their way

to us through the ages. One of the earliest

popular symbols of the day is Cupid（爱神丘比特） the Roman god of love who is

reprented by the image of a young boy with

bow and arrow.

Three hundred years after the death of Jesus

Christ the Roman emperors still demanded

that everyone believe in the Roman gods.

Valentine a Christian priest had been thrown

in prison for his teachings. On February 14

Valentine was beheaded（斩首） not only

becau he was a Christian but also becau

he had performed a miracle. He suppodly

cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness.

The night before he was executed he wrote the

jailer's daughter a farewell letter signing

it "From Your Valentine." Another legend

tells us that this same Valentine well-loved

by all received notes to his jail cell from

children and friends who misd him.

Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who

lived at about the same time AD 200. He was

imprisoned becau he cretly married

couples contrary to the laws of the Roman

emperor. Some legends say he was burned at

the stake.

February 14 was also a Roman holiday held in

honor of a goddess. Young men randomly cho

the name of a young girl to escort to the

festivities. The custom of choosing a

sweetheart on this date spread through

Europe in the Middle Ages and then to the

early American colonies. Throughout the

ages people also believed that birds picked

their mates on February 14!

In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February

14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not

an official holiday most Americans obrve

this day.

Whatever the odd mixture of origins St.

Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts.

It is the day that you show your friend or

loved one that you care. You can nd candy

to someone you think is special. or you can

nd ros the flower of love. Most people

nd "valentines" a greeting card named

after the notes that St. Valentine received

in jail. Valentines can be ntimental

romantic and heartfelt（真心真意的）. They

can be funny and friendly. If the nder is

shy valentines can be anonymous.

Americans of all ages love to nd and

receive valentines. Handmade valentines

created by cutting hearts out of colored

paper show that a lot of thought was put into

making them personal. Valentines can be

heart-shaped or have hearts the symbol of

love on them. In elementary schools children

make valentines for their classmates and put

them in a large decorated box similar to a

mailbox. On February 14 the teacher opens

the box and distributes the valentines to

each student. After the students read their

valentines they have a small party with

refreshments.

For teenagers and adults major newspapers

throughout the country have a Valentine's

Day offer. Anyone can nd in a message for

a small fee of cour destined for a would-be

sweetheart a good friend an acquaintance or

even a spou of fifty years. The message is

printed in a special ction of the

newspaper on February 14.

每年2月14日，是西方传统的圣瓦伦丁节，又

称“情人节”。它具有悠久的历史。古罗马

时代的牧神节，就是一个情侣们的节日。是日男女青年可以欢聚一堂。姑娘们把表达爱情

的祝辞放在签筒里，小伙子依次抽签，抽到哪位姑娘的祝辞，那位姑娘就成为他的恋人。

基督教兴起，教会对牧神节风俗很不以为然。但由于这个节日受到青年人的偏爱，所

以仍然延续了下来。到公元7世纪，教会领袖希望把这节日同基督教联系在一起，于是他

们用基督教殉教者瓦伦丁的名字为这个节日重新命名，并把日期由原来的2月15日改为2月

14日。

翻阅早期基督教殉教史，可以找到三个叫瓦伦丁的殉教者，其中一个是公元3世纪的

主教。当时罗马皇帝认为已婚男子都不愿离家当兵，即使上了战场也不会成为一个好兵，

因此发布了一道禁止结婚的法令瓦伦丁对此十分忧虑，他违背皇帝的旨意，秘密地为青年

人举行婚礼，因此遭到监禁，于公元271年2刀14日死于狱中。

经过几世纪的漫长岁月，瓦伦丁节的庆祝方式发生了不少变化。在16世纪的英国，瓦

伦丁节的风俗十分奇特有趣。随着新大陆的开发，英国移民又把这一极富有浪漫色彩的节

日带到了北美，逐渐成为美国人喜爱的节日之一。

在美国，瓦伦丁节已不仅是青年入的节日。亲人朋友之间，不论年龄大小，都可以互

送小礼品以表达感情，增进友谊。美国有不少商店专门出售这类礼品。如装饰成心形的高

级巧克力糖盒，或者系着红缎带的郁金香花束等。至于各式各样饰有花边、洒上香水的情

人卡，更是比比皆是。

当然，年青人才是瓦伦丁节真正当之无愧的主角。他们在这一天郑重其事地为恋人选

择礼物，兴高采烈地伴同朋友去郊游：或者成双成对地去参加由俱乐部组织的情人舞会。

特别有趣的是，那些心灵手巧的小伙子常常想方设法把向姑娘求爱的瓦伦丁节问候卡制成

玲拢精制的工艺品，有的仿佛是一只美丽的蝴蝶，有的宛若一朵盛开的鲜花：还有的恰似

爱神丘比特正在弯弓射箭。那些痴情的姑娘则按照传统习俗，在瓦伦丁节前夜把月桂树叶

放在枕头上，盼望着在梦中同自己的心上人相

会。

特别引人入胜的是情人节之夜的化装舞会。这在几十年前就十分流行。参加舞会的入

，个个煞费苦心地将自己装扮起来，有的化装成中世纪的骑士，有的化装成西班牙的海盗

，还有的化装成东方的皇帝。聪明的舞会主人常常给每位客人发，个带花边的瓦伦丁卡片

，上面写着某个人的名字，这个人就成为你今晚的伙伴。因此在舞会上，人们便可以看到

罗密欧和灰姑娘翩翩起舞；哈姆雷特同卡门谈笑风生；阿拉伯公主同查理二世共进晚餐。

他们化装得那样维妙维肖．使人觉得仿佛真的是一群古人复活了。

瓦伦丁节就是这样一个充满爱情和友谊的欢乐节日。

Legend of the third century AD, the ancient

Rome of a tyrant has called Clausius Doss

(Claudius). Not far from the tyrant's palace,

has a very beautiful temple. （ Valentine）

XiuValentin (Valentine), who lives here.

Rome are very revered him, men, women and

been tortured in the dungeon to die. 。

Sorrow of his friends buried in the Church

of St. Platon.

Memory for Valentine, and later that day

the people as a "Valentine's Day."

传说公元三世纪时，古罗马有一位暴君叫克劳多斯（ Claudius）。离暴君的宫殿不远，有一座非常漂亮的神庙。修士瓦伦丁（ Valentine）就住在这里。罗马人非常崇敬他，男女老幼，不论贫富贵贱，总会群集在他的周围，在祭坛的熊熊圣火前，聆听瓦伦丁的祈祷。

这一时代，古罗马的战事一直连绵不断，暴君克

劳多斯征召了大批公民前往战场，为了保证人们忠于战争，他下令禁止人们于此时结婚，甚至连已订了婚人也马上要解除婚约。许多年轻人就这样告别爱人，满怀悲愤地走向战场。

瓦伦丁对克劳多斯的虐行感到非常难过。当一对情侣来到神庙请求他的帮助时，瓦伦丁在神圣的祭坛前为它们悄悄地举行了婚礼。人们一传十，十传百，很多人来到这里，在瓦伦丁的帮助下结成伴侣。消息终于传到了克劳多斯的耳里。他暴跳如雷，命令士兵们冲进神庙，将瓦伦丁从一对正在举行婚礼的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。公元270年的2月14日，瓦伦丁在地牢里受尽折磨而死。悲伤的朋友们将他安葬于圣普拉教堂。

为了纪念瓦伦丁，后来的人们把这一天作为“情人节”。
