valentine

Several stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentine's Day. One legend dates as far as the days of the Roman Empire. According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join. Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.

A priest named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on Feb.14.

After his death, Valentine was made a saint, and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine's Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other messages on this day. Now Saint Valentine's Day is a time for people to send one another greetings of many kinds.

February 14, Valentine's Day, is sweet hearts' day, on which people in love with each other express their tender emotions. People sometimes put their love messages in a heart-shaped box of chocalates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons. Words or letters may be written on the flower-covered cards, or something else. Whatever the form may be, the message is almost the same：“Will you be my valentine?”

Another story has it that while Valentine was in prison waiting for his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter and fell in love with her. Just before he was put to death, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her “From Your Valentine”, a phrase that lived ever after.

Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin,“desire”). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

It is an old English custom to send a message or card to the person you love on St. Valentine's Day. Here are some samples:

1. To one's beloved wife:

Susan Harbert: Thanks for: 14 good years, 5000 breakfasts, 5 kids and you.

Mary my darling. I love you madly. I am so happy to have you as my valentine.

5.To one's beloved teacher:

情人节的由来有几种不同的传说，其中一传说要追溯到古罗马帝国时期。根据这一传说，罗马皇帝克劳迪斯想扩充军队， 他知道招募未婚青年参军要容易一些。于是他就制定了一项法规：男青年必须在军队服役一定年限后才能结婚。

可是有个叫瓦伦丁的神父违犯规定，秘密为许多青年主持了婚礼。后来，克劳迪斯发觉了瓦伦丁的所为，就把他关进了监狱，一直关押到2月14日他在狱中死去。

瓦伦丁死后被奉为圣人，他去世的日子就命名为“圣瓦伦丁节”。情人们在这一天互表爱慕之意就演为习俗。而现在，圣瓦伦丁节成了人们互致问候的日子。

2月14日的圣瓦伦丁节，是情人的节日，恋爱中的情人们在这一天互表爱意柔情。有时情人们把情书放在心状的巧克力盒子里或放在用红丝带扎起的花束中， 在鲜花装饰的贺卡或其他东西上写上几个字或一封信。不管采取什么形式，书写的内容几乎一样：“你愿意做我的情人吗?”

另一个传说是，瓦伦丁在监狱里命运未卜的时候，认识了典狱长阿斯特里奥斯。该典狱长有一个双目失明的女儿。典狱长请求他治好女儿的眼睛。瓦伦丁以其坚强的信念奇迹般地恢复了典狱长女儿的视力，并且爱上了她。就在行刑前，他从典狱长那里要了一支笔、一张纸，给典狱长的女儿写了一封“诀别”信，署名“寄自瓦伦丁”。“From your valentine”这几个字就这样沿用至今。

谈到情人节，要提到的另一人物是丘比特(在拉丁语中，“丘比特”是“欲望”之意)。在罗马神话中，丘比特是爱之女神维纳斯之子。在希腊神话中，爱神名叫厄洛斯。传说中，丘比特是一个顽皮的男孩，他四处转悠，用弓箭射中天神或凡人，使他们坠入爱河。

在生活中遇到麻烦便可求助于你。
