  The history of Valentine's Day

  Happy Valentine's Day! Americans celebrate the holiday each year on February fourteenth. So do candy companies, jewelry stores and people selling flowers. Marsha James tells us more about Valentine's Day in the United States.

  情人节快乐!每到2月14日,美国人都会庆祝这个节日。糖果公司、珠宝商店和卖花的人也是如此。Marsha James将告诉我们一些情人节的故事。

  Valentine's Day is for lovers. It is a good day to ask your boyfriend or girlfriend to marry you. It is also a popular day for marriage ceremonies.

  情人节是属于恋人的节日。它是向男朋友或女朋友求婚的好日子。情人节也是一个广受欢迎的举行婚礼的日子。

  But, other couples might celebrate with dinner at a nice restaurant.

  但是,有些情侣可能会在一家很不错的餐厅共进晚餐庆祝节日。

  The holiday is named for Saint Valentine. He was an early Christian clergyman who was said to have helped young lovers. Valentine was executed for his Christian beliefs on February fourteenth, more than one thousand seven hundred years ago. But the day that has his name is even older than that.

  这个节日是以Saint Valentine的名字命名的。他是一位早期的基督教牧师,据说曾帮助过年轻的恋人。1700多年前,在2月14日,Valentine因他的基督教信仰而被处决。但是在这之前,也有情人节。

  The ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers more than two thousand years ago. As part of the celebration, each girl reportedly wrote her name on a piece of paper and put it in a large container. Each boy reached into the container and pulled out the name of a girl. That girl became his girlfriend for a year.

  2000多年前,古罗马人为相爱的人庆祝节日。作为庆祝活动的一部分,据说每个女孩都在一张纸上写下自己的名字,并把它放在一个大容器里。每个男孩都把手伸进容器,并拿出一个女孩的名字。那个女孩就做他一年的女朋友。

  Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper on Valentine's Day. They send each other cards that express their love. Sometimes they send other gifts, too, like jewelry... or flowers... or candy...or all three!

  现在的情人节,情侣们仍然把他们的名字写在纸上。他们互送卡片、传达爱意。有时他们会送别的礼物,比如珠宝、鲜花、糖果,或者三者都有!
