Lesson
Valentine's day 情人节
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、鲜花和礼物跨越国界以圣·瓦沦丁的名义在情人间相互传递着。可是这个神秘的圣徒是谁呢?而且,我们为什么庆祝这个节日?
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.情人节的历史-以及它的守护神-非常神秘。不过我们确实知道二月成为浪漫之月已经很久了。正如我们今天所知道的,圣·瓦沦丁节起源于基督教和古罗马的传统。
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,谁是圣·瓦沦丁?他又是怎么和这个古代习俗发生联系的呢?一种传说主张瓦沦丁是一个修士,三世纪期间在罗马传道。当君主克劳迪亚斯二世认定单身男子比那些有妻子和家庭的男子做士兵更好时,他传令年轻、单身男子-那些可能成为他的士兵的人-不能结婚。
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.瓦沦丁意识到这项法令是不道义的,他挑战克劳迪亚斯并继续秘密地为年轻情人们举行婚礼。当瓦沦丁的行为被发觉了之后,克劳迪亚斯下令将他处死。其它的故事提出瓦沦丁被处死可能是因为他企图帮助基督徒逃离严酷的罗马监狱。在那里,他们经常遭到拷打和折磨。
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.根据一种传说,瓦沦丁实际上自己发出了第一个“情人节”问候。有人相信瓦沦丁在监狱的时候和来探望他的一个年轻女孩相恋了,女孩可能是典狱长的女儿。临死前,据说他给她写了一封信,落款是“From your Valentine ”,这个表达方式今天还被使用。
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.尽管瓦沦丁传说背后的真实性不确定,但是故事的确强调了他是一个有同情心的、英雄式的,以及最重要的是他是一个浪漫的人物。到中世纪的时候,瓦沦丁成为英格兰和法国最受欢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·瓦沦丁节有点不同:送礼物的只是女孩,而且她们通常根据恋人的喜好送巧克力做礼物。
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.这个独特的习俗似乎源于一家日本巧克力生产商于1958年将圣·瓦沦丁节宣传为“女人用巧克力做为礼物向她所爱的人表白爱意的日子。”的推广活动。生产商在东京的一家百货商店卖心型巧克力。第一年只卖出了五块,不过这个“情人节销售”逐年变得越来越受欢迎,而且在圣·瓦沦丁节女性给男性送巧克力的习俗也慢慢生根。
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.现在,人们经常给自己的家人送巧克力。同学和同事之间在圣·瓦沦丁节送礼物也变得相当普遍。
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·瓦沦丁节一个月之后的3月14日随之而来的是“白色情人节”。这是圣·瓦沦丁节时从女士那里收到巧克力的男士回赠如糖果等礼物的日子。这也是日本的一个独特习俗,由日本的糖果公司发起并推广。不过,也许是由于它的历史还短的缘故,白色情人节还不如圣·瓦沦丁节那么普遍。
