情人节英文简介:
st.
valentines day has roots in several 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 represented by the image of a
young
boy with bow and arrow.
,
valentine was beheaded(斩首), not only because he
was a
christian, but also because he had
performed a miracle. he
supposedly cured the
jailers daughter of her blindness. the
night
before he was executed, he wrote the jailers
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 missed him.
another valentine
was an italian bishop who lived at about the
same time, ad 200. he was imprisoned because
he secretly
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 chose 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
valentines
day. although its not an official
holiday, most americans
observe this day.
whatever the odd mixture of origins,
st. valentines day is now
a day for
sweethearts. it is the day that you show your
friend or
loved one that you care. you can
send candy to someone you
think is special. or
you can send roses, the flower of love. most
people send valentines, a greeting card named
after the notes
that st. valentine received in
jail. valentines can be sentimental,
romantic
and heartfelt(真心真意的). they can be funny and
friendly. if the sender is shy, valentines can
be anonymous.
americans of all ages love
to send 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
valentines day offer. anyone can send in a
message, for a small fee of course, destined
for a would-be
sweetheart, a good friend, an
acquaintance or even a spouse
of fifty years.
the message is printed in a special section of the
newspaper on february 14.
情人节中文简介:
每年2月14日,是西方传统的圣瓦伦丁节(valentines
day),又称情
人节.
公元三世纪时,古罗马有一位暴君叫克劳多斯(clau
dius).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.
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,
人们怨声载道.男人们不愿意离开家庭,小伙子们不忍与情人分开.克劳
多斯暴跳如雷,他
传令人们不许举行婚礼,甚至连所有已订了婚的也马
上要解除婚约.许多年轻人就这样告别爱人,悲愤地
走向战场.年轻的姑
娘们也由于失去爱侣,抑郁神伤.
瓦伦丁对暴
君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,在瓦沦丁的帮助下结成伴侣.
一
对情侣在巴黎一个公园里的情侣墙前合影.这座用蓝色瓷砖镶嵌而
成的墙上,用全世界的不同文字写满了
311个意为我爱你的句子.
消息终于传进了宫殿,传到了暴君的耳里.克劳多斯又一次暴
跳如雷,
他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.人
们苦苦哀求暴君的劾免,但都徒劳而返.瓦伦丁终于在
地牢里受尽折磨而死.悲伤的朋友们将他安葬于圣
普拉(st. praxedes)
教堂.那一天是2月14日,那一年是公元270年.
另外还有一个版本.传说中瓦伦丁是最早的基督徒之一,那个时代做一
名基督徒意味着危险和
死亡.为掩护其他殉教者,瓦伦丁被抓住,投入了
监牢.在那里他治愈了典狱长女儿失明的双眼.当暴君
听到着一奇迹时,
他感到非常害怕,于是将瓦伦丁斩首示众.据传说,在行刑的那一天早晨,
瓦
伦丁给典狱长的女儿写了一封情意绵绵的告别信,落款是: from
your valentine
(寄自你的瓦伦丁)
【篇二:情人节英语介绍】
there
are varying opinions as to the origin of
valentines 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.
关于情人节的起源有许多种说法。有关人士认为情人节是一个名叫
桑特 瓦伦丁的人士发起的
。他是罗马人,因为拒绝放弃基督教而于
公元前269年2月14日惨遭杀害,这一天也正好是全城盛行
彩票抽
奖的日子。
legend also says that st.
valentine left a farewell note for the
jailers
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. 而另外一种说法更具有传奇色彩,相传桑特
瓦伦丁曾留下一本日记给了狱卒的女儿,署名为“你的情人”,据说
这名狱卒的女儿就是桑特
瓦伦丁的情人。还有其它的说法也颇为有
趣。比如说有人认为在克劳迪亚斯君王统治时期,桑特 瓦仑丁
曾经
是一名神父,因为公然挑战克劳迪亚斯君王的权威身陷囹圄。所以
公元前4
96年罗马教皇格莱西亚斯特意将2月14日作为一个特别的
日子以纪念桑特 瓦伦丁。
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日就成为了一个具有特殊意义的日子。在这天人们向自
己心仪的人传递信息以示爱意。而理所当然的桑特 瓦仑丁也就成为
了为恋爱中的男女们牵线搭
桥的人。在2月14日这天人们会特意做
诗或者用一些小礼物送给自己心爱的人。而且人们还会组织各种
各
样的聚会来庆祝这个特殊的节日。
in the united
states, miss esther howland is given credit for
sending the first valentine cards. commercial
valentines were
introduced in the 1800s 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 霍兰德小姐是美国第一位
因为发送情人节卡片而受到荣誉奖励
的人。早在19世纪初情人节就已处露商业化的端倪。而如今情人节
已经完全被商业化了。 比如每当每年2月14日来临的时候,一些城
镇如罗夫兰、克罗拉多等
,这里的人们都要派送大量的为情人节特
备的卡片。
而在这天人们往往吟歌做诗并且把这些写入卡片中送 送
个自己喜欢的人以表达自己的爱意。而在学校里
孩子门也喜欢互增
贺卡来度过这个特殊的节日。久而久之就形成了一种习俗并且延续
至今天.<

一年一度浪漫的七夕节,与恋人相依相偎共同度过,心中满是甜蜜
的滋味。你知道七夕
节的来历,那你知道怎么用英语来介绍我们中
国的情人节吗?下面就让小编为你解答吧~
中国的七夕节的英文是chinese valentines
day.下面就是关于七夕
节情人节的介绍:
raise your head
on august 4 and gaze at the stars, you will find
something romantic going on in the sky.
valentines day in china, the seventh day of
the seventh lunar
month, falls on august 4
this year.
that is, on monday
evening, niu lang and zhi nu will meet on a
bridge of magpies(鹊桥) across the milky
way(银河).
chinese grannies will remind children
that they would not be
able to see any magpies
on that evening because all the
magpies have
left to form a bridge in the heavens with their
wings.
romantic legend
the
legend has been handed down for nearly 2
millennia. the
story has been recorded as far
back as the jin dynasty (256-420
ad). poets
composed hundreds of verses on the love story and
many types of chinese opera tell the
story.
the chinese people believe that
the star vega(织女星), east
of the milky way, is
zhi nu and, at the constellation of
aquila
(天鹰座), on the western side of the milky
way, niu lang waits
for his wife.
zhi nu was said to be the youngest of seven
daughters of the
queen of heaven. with her
sisters, she worked hard to weave
beautiful
clouds in the sky, while niu lang was a poor
orphan
cowherd, driven out of his home by his
elder brother and his
cruel wife.
niu lang lamented over his lonely and poor life
with an old
cow, his only friend and
companion. the magical cow kindly
told him of
a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his
life
companion.
under the direction
of the cow, niu lang went to the riverside
on
an evening, where the seven fairies slipped out of
their
heavenly palace to bathe.
he
took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies
had left on
the bank. when the fairies left
the water, the youngest couldnt
find her
clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to
heaven
without her.
then niu lang
came out with the dress and asked the
youngest
fairy, zhi nu, to stay with him.
several
years passed on earth, which were only a few days
in
heaven. niu lang and zhi nu lived
happily together and had two children before
the queen of
heaven discovered zhi nus
absence.
she was so annoyed she had zhi
nu brought back to heaven.
seeing his beloved
wife flying in the sky, niu lang was terrified.
he caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a
wall. the magical
cow had told him
before dying of old age: keep the cowhide
(牛皮)
for emergency use.
putting the cowhide
on, he went after his wife with his two
children.
with the help of the
cowhide, niu lang was able to follow zhi
nu
into heaven. he was about to reach his wife when
the queen
showed up and pulled off her hairpin
to draw a line between
the two. the line
became the silver river in heaven, or the milky
way.
zhi nu went back to the
heavenly workshop, going on
weaving the
clouds. but she was so sad, and missed her
husband across the silver river so much that
the clouds she
weaved seemed sad. finally, the
queen showed a little mercy,
allowing the
couple to meet once every year on the silver
river.
well-known poem
one of
the most famous poems about the legend was written
by qin guan of in the song dynasty
(960-1279).
fairy of the magpie
bridge
among the beautiful clouds,
over the heavenly river,
crosses
the weaving maiden.
a night of
rendezvous,
across the autumn sky.
surpasses joy on earth.
moments of
tender love and dream,
so sad to leave
the magpie bridge.
eternal love between
us two,
shall withstand the time
apart.
(translated by kylie hsu)
鹊桥仙
宋?秦观
织云弄巧
飞星传恨
银汉迢迢暗度
金风玉露一相逢
便胜却人间无数
柔情似水
佳期如梦
忍顾鹊桥归路
两情若是久长时
又岂在朝朝暮暮
compared with love stories in
western legends, the story of
niu lang and zhi
nu seems not as intense or passionate. love
doesnt kill or break up the barrier between
them. they just wait
patiently on the
riverbank, believing that their love can
withstand their time apart.
it is
faith and emotional liaison instead of physical
attraction
and desire that is emphasized in
the story as well as in many
other chinese
folktales(民间故事) about love.
in only a
few chinese folk love stories can be found a
description of the physical appearances of the
hero and
heroine.
in the butterfly
lovers, the heroine, dressed as a boy to attend
school, falls in love with a classmate. after
they have lived
together as classmates for
years, the hero did not have the
slightest
clue that his best friend is actually a girl!
chinese ceremonies
the seventh day
of the seventh lunar month is the only
chinese
festival devoted to love in the
lunar
calendar.
unlike st. valentines day in
western countries there is not so
much
emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses.
instead, chinese girls prepare fruits, melons
and incense(熏香)
as offerings to zhi nu, the
weaving maiden, praying to acquire
high skills
in needlecraft(裁缝), as well as hoping to find
satisfactory husbands.
in the
evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars.
chinese grannies would say that, if you stand
under a
grapevine, you can probably overhear
what zhi nu and niu lang
are talking
about.
经过上面这些介绍,你是否记在心里了呢?!今后,如果有外国友
人
问起我们中国的情人节的由来,你就不会手忙脚乱不知所措了。
