總體分析
本文介紹了情人節(jié)的由來(lái)。第一段介紹情人節(jié)的前身牧神節(jié)以及該節(jié)日里抽簽選戀人的慶�；顒�(dòng)。第二段介紹情人節(jié)是為了紀(jì)念一位羅馬牧師。第三段指出情人節(jié)已經(jīng)成為愛(ài)的主要象征。
全文翻譯
圣瓦倫丁節(jié)(即，情人節(jié))可能源自古羅馬的牧神節(jié)。當(dāng)兇猛的狼群在四周游蕩時(shí)，古老的羅馬人請(qǐng)求牧神盧帕克斯來(lái)幫助他們。一個(gè)向該神表達(dá)敬意的節(jié)日于2月15日舉行。在這個(gè)節(jié)日的前夕女孩們的名字被寫(xiě)在紙條上并放入罐中。每位年輕的男子都抽一張紙條，被抽中名字的女孩在未來(lái)一年中將成為他的戀人。
傳說(shuō)這個(gè)節(jié)日之所以成為圣瓦倫丁節(jié)是為了紀(jì)念一位名叫瓦倫丁的羅馬牧師。國(guó)王克勞底斯二世命令羅馬士兵不得結(jié)婚或訂婚�？藙诘姿拐J(rèn)為結(jié)了婚的士兵更愿意留守家中而不是上戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。當(dāng)瓦倫丁違抗了國(guó)王的意愿，秘密讓年輕人成了婚之后，他于2月14日即牧神節(jié)的'前夕被處決。瓦倫丁死后，成了圣徒�；浇虝�(huì)牧師們將這個(gè)節(jié)日從15日改為14日，即，圣瓦倫丁節(jié)。現(xiàn)在這個(gè)節(jié)日紀(jì)念的是瓦倫丁而再不是牧神盧帕克斯。
圣瓦倫丁節(jié)在現(xiàn)代世界里已經(jīng)成為愛(ài)和浪漫的一個(gè)主要象征。古代的愛(ài)神丘比特和他射入愛(ài)人心中的箭也許仍然被用來(lái)表現(xiàn)愛(ài)上某人或談戀愛(ài)。但是我們也使用卡片和禮物，比如鮮花或珠寶來(lái)做同樣的事情。在圣瓦倫丁節(jié)忘記給妻子或戀人送花有時(shí)能像忘記生日或結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日一樣糟糕。
