　　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.

　　Love Walley

　　2. To one's lover:

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

　　From your valentine Michael

　　3. To one's beloved mother:

　　Dear Mom:

　　I love you. I hope you have a GREAT Valentine's Day. Thank you for your love and thanks for caring for me so much.

　　Love,

　　Lock

　　Dear Mom:

　　Roses are red,

　　Violets are blue,

　　And I just want to tell you

　　That I love you.

　　Angel

　　4. Father to his beloved son:

　　Dear Tony:

　　If I could give you only one thing,

　　I think it would have to be courage,

　　With it you can face all changes, all losses,

　　All failure even loneliness—

　　And build anew and more strongly than before.

　　Dad

　　5.To one's beloved teacher:

　　Thank you for making learning not a job but a joy,

　　Thank you for making me feel valuable,

　　Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best,

　　And to do it even better.

　　Thank you for being someone I can always trust-

　　And turn to when life gets difficult.

　　John

　　6. Arrange for home-delivery of some freshly cooked food, like dishes of fish, and include the message: “Just as fresh as my Love for you”.

　　9. Buy a book or a CD on love and then present it , and this special issue of English Square is one of the best choices for it.

　　情人節(jié)的由來有幾種不同的傳說，其中一傳說要追溯到古羅馬帝國時期。根據(jù)這一傳說，羅馬皇帝克勞迪斯想擴充軍隊， 他知道招募未婚青年參軍要容易一些。于是他就制定了一項法規(guī)：男青年必須在軍隊服役一定年限后才能結婚。

　　可是有個叫瓦倫丁的神父違犯規(guī)定，秘密為許多青年主持了婚禮。后來，克勞迪斯發(fā)覺了瓦倫丁的所為，就把他關進了監(jiān)獄，一直關押到2月14日他在獄中死去。

　　瓦倫丁死后被奉為圣人，他去世的日子就命名為“圣瓦倫丁節(jié)”。情人們在這一天互表愛慕之意就演為習俗。而現(xiàn)在，圣瓦倫丁節(jié)成了人們互致問候的日子。

　　2月14日的圣瓦倫丁節(jié)，是情人的節(jié)日，戀愛中的情人們在這一天互表愛意柔情。有時情人們把情書放在心狀的巧克力盒子里或放在用紅絲帶扎起的花束中， 在鮮花裝飾的賀卡或其他東西上寫上幾個字或一封信。不管采取什么形式，書寫的內容幾乎一樣：“你愿意做我的情人嗎?”

　　另一個傳說是，瓦倫丁在監(jiān)獄里命運未卜的時候，認識了典獄長阿斯特里奧斯。該典獄長有一個雙目失明的女兒。典獄長請求他治好女兒的眼睛。瓦倫丁以其堅強的信念奇跡般地恢復了典獄長女兒的視力，并且愛上了她。就在行刑前，他從典獄長那里要了一支筆、一張紙，給典獄長的女兒寫了一封“訣別”信，署名“寄自瓦倫丁”。“From your valentine”這幾個字就這樣沿用至今。

　　談到情人節(jié)，要提到的另一人物是丘比特(在拉丁語中，“丘比特”是“欲望”之意)。在羅馬神話中，丘比特是愛之女神維納斯之子。在希臘神話中，愛神名叫厄洛斯。傳說中，丘比特是一個頑皮的男孩，他四處轉悠，用弓箭射中天神或凡人，使他們墜入愛河。

　　寫給愛妻：

　　蘇珊·哈伯特：感謝你給了我——14個快樂的歲月，5000次早餐，5個孩子，還有你。

　　愛你的威利

　　寫給情人：

　　我親愛的瑪麗，我愛你愛得發(fā)狂。有你做我的情人，我感到無比幸福。

　　你的情人邁克

　　寫給親愛的媽媽：

　　親愛的媽媽：

　　我愛你。祝你情人節(jié)無比快樂。謝謝你給我的愛，謝謝你對我無微不至的關懷。

　　愛你的

　　洛克

　　親愛的媽媽：

　　玫瑰是紅的

　　紫羅蘭是藍的

　　我只想告訴你

　　我愛你。

　　安琪兒

　　父親寫給愛子：

　　親愛的托尼：

　　如果只能給你一件禮物，

　　那件禮物應該是勇氣，

　　有了它，你能面對任何變化，任何挫折，

　　任何失敗，甚至狐獨

　　并能東山再起，更加堅強。

　　老爸

　　寫給敬愛的老師：

　　感謝你沒把學習變成勞役而成為一種快樂，

　　感謝你讓我明白了自身的價值;

　　感謝你幫助我發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的專長——

　　而且讓我做事情精益求精;

　　感謝你成為值得我信賴的人——

　　在生活中遇到麻煩便可求助于你。

　　約翰

　　親愛的老師：

　　我會永遠把你記在心間。

　　你的學生哈利

　　1. 用印有心型的包裝紙包一盒巧克力，貼上一個標簽并簽名。你也可以把它放在你的心上人肯定可以找到的地方。

　　2. 摘抄(或創(chuàng)作)一首愛情詩寫在紙質較好的信箋上，表達你特別的感受。你也可以把打算贈送的禮物連同情詩一道寄出。你可以在我們的《英語廣場》“詩歌”欄目中找到一些用得上的資料。你還可以發(fā)一個免費電子賀信，因為現(xiàn)在這種賀信十分流行，在任何時候我們都希望別人發(fā)電子賀信來。

　　3. 贈送禮物不僅僅限于具體的物品，還有更好的選擇。你可以與心上人策劃一頓別出心裁的便餐，可以是燭光宴，也可以是露天野餐，不過一定要有點“酷”，不然就平淡乏味。

　　4. 填充玩具比以前更流行了，任何時候都是頂好的禮物。

　　5. 鮮花!這可能是最大眾化的禮物了，可其迷人風采從未褪色。千萬不要錯失良機，趕緊給你的心上人送上可愛的鮮花!

　　6. 安排別人將剛烹飪好的食物，比如說鮮魚，送貨上門，并附上一張便條：“如我對你的愛一樣鮮”。

　　7. 搞清楚你的心上人是不是需要什么，但還沒買回來。一旦弄清了，你就把需要的東西買下——雪中送炭，這是最好的禮物。不過一定要注意，你要有絕對的把握：絕對是他或她本人需要但尚未弄到手的東西。

　　8. 買一個玩偶匣，在玩偶上貼一張表達愛意的小條子，叫別人將這個禮物送給你的心上人，這一招絕對出奇制勝!

　　9. 買一本關于“愛”的書或一張情歌CD，送給你的所愛，本期的《英語廣場》特刊就是一個不錯的選擇。
