According to legend, one of these Valentines was a priest who went against the orders of Roman Emperor Claudius II by conducting marriages between soldiers and their loved ones. These actions ultimately led to his execution. However, before being put to death, St. Valentine cured his jailer’s daughter from blindness and fell in love with her. His last communication with her was a letter signed “From your Valentine,” and this marked the very first Valentine greeting.  在基督教传统中，有数个名叫Valentine或是Valentinus的殉难圣徒。根据传说，其中一名Valentine是一位牧师，他为士兵和恋人主持婚礼，这违抗了罗马皇帝克劳狄二世的命令，最终导致了他被处决。然而，在被处死之前，圣瓦伦丁治好了看管他的狱卒的女儿的盲眼，并和她相恋。他与她最后的联络信上署名“你的瓦伦丁留”，而这也标志着第一个情人节的问候。 To honor him, Pope Gelasius I made February 14 St. Valentine’s Day in 496 AD. 为了向他致敬，教宗Gelasius一世在西元496年将二月十四日定为圣瓦伦丁日。 Some believe the choice of this particular date was an effort by the Christians to curb the celebration of a pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia. Taking place between the 13th and 15th of the month, the festival honored a Roman god and the founders of Rome through rituals of sacrifice and feasting. 有些人认为这特定日期的选择是基督徒做出的努力，以遏止一个叫做“牧神节”的异教徒祈求多产的庆祝活动。这个庆典在该月的十三日及十五日之间举行，借由献祭和盛宴的仪式来向罗马之神及罗马的建国者表达敬意。 The association of romantic love with Valentine’s Day did not actually emerge until the Middle Ages when a poem by Englishman Geoffrey Chaucer linked February 14 with the start of the mating period for birds. 实际上直到中世纪前，瓦伦丁日与浪漫爱情的联系才建立起来。一首由英国诗人Geoffrey Chaucer（杰弗雷·乔叟）写的诗将二月十四日与鸟类交配期的开始联系在一起。 As Valentine’s Day earned more literary mentions, it grew in popularity over the centuries. People soon adopted the tradition of exchanging romantic handwritten notes with one another. 随着瓦伦丁日越来越多地在文学作品中提及，数百年来它渐渐受到人民的欢迎。很快地人们开始了互相交换浪漫手写字条的传统。 Then, in the 1800s, a woman named Esther Howland became inspired by the fancy and intricate cards being made in England. By spearheading the mass production of similar cards in the United States, she became known as “The Mother of the American Valentine.” 在19世纪，一名叫作Esther Howland的女性受到那些在英国制作的花俏、精细卡片所启发。她率先在美国大量生产类似的卡片，她也因此被称为“美国情人节之母”。 During the next century, the celebration of Valentine's Day expanded to include gift-giving of items like flowers, chocolate and jewelry. These tokens of affection are exchanged not only between romantic partners but also between loved ones and friends. Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated around the world, especially in Europe and North America. 在接下来的一个世纪，情人节的庆祝活动扩展到赠送物品如鲜花、巧克力及珠宝等礼物。不只是恋人相互之间会交换这些象征爱慕之情的物品，人们也会与心爱的人及朋友互换礼物。 今天，世界各地尤其是在欧洲和北美洲，人们都在庆祝情人节。 外刊阅读2（对应语法填空2） Valentine’s Day, also called St. Valentine’s Day, holiday when lovers express their love with greetings and gifts. Given their similarities, it has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia(牧神节), held in mid-February. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine’s Day, but the true origin of the holiday is still not clear. Valentine’s Day did not come to be celebrated as a day of romance until about the 14th century. 情人节（Valentine's Day），又称圣瓦伦丁节（St. Valentine's Day），是恋人们用问候和礼物表达爱意的节日。鉴于两者的相似性，有人认为这个节日起源于二月中旬举行的罗马牧神节（Lupercalia）。5 世纪末，教皇格拉西乌斯一世（Pope Gelasius I）禁止庆祝 “牧神节”，有时人们认为是圣瓦伦丁节取代了 “牧神节”。直到大约 14 世纪，情人节才开始作为一个浪漫的节日来庆祝。 Valentines appeared in the 1500s, and by the late 1700s commercially printed cards were being used. Valentines commonly depict(描绘) Cupid, the Roman god of love, along with hearts. Birds also became a symbol of the day. Traditional gifts include candy and flowers, particularly red roses, a symbol of beauty and love. 情人节贺卡出现于 1500 年代，到 1700 年代晚期开始使用商业印刷的贺卡。情人节贺卡上通常会描绘罗马爱神丘比特和心形图案。鸟也成为这一天的象征。传统的礼物包括糖果和鲜花，尤其是象征美丽和爱情的红玫瑰。 The day is popular in the United States as well as in Britain, Canada, and Australia, and it is also celebrated in other countries, including Argentina, France, Mexico, and South Korea. In the Philippines it is the most common wedding anniversary, and mass weddings of hundreds of couples are not uncommon on that date. The holiday has expanded to expressions of affection among relatives and friends. Many schoolchildren exchange valentines with one another on this day. 这一天在美国、英国、加拿大和澳大利亚都很流行，阿根廷、法国、墨西哥和韩国等其他国家也庆祝这一天。在菲律宾，这一天是最常见的结婚纪念日，数百对新人在这一天举行集体婚礼的情况并不少见。情人节还扩大到亲戚和朋友之间表达爱意。许多学生在这一天互相交换情人节礼物。 外刊阅读3 Whether you love Valentine's Day or hate it, one thing is clear: The festival dates back to a long time ago. When Is Valentine’s Day? Valentine's Day always falls on February 14, but the day of the week varies by year. In 2025, Valentine's Day will be on a Friday for the first time since 2020. How Did Valentine’s Day Start? Some historians believe it has roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia (牧神节). Held yearly on February 15, Lupercalia celebrated the coming of spring. It involved possibly a religious ceremony in which men and women were paired off by choosing names from a jar. At the end of the 5th century AD, Pope Gelasius I (教宗哲拉旭一世) banned the celebration. He advocated that St. Valentine's Day replaced it, but we don't have eventual proof of that. Who Was St. Valentine? The real-life history of the man, St. Valentine, is unknown. There are various tales about a Christian figure named Valentine who sacrificed himself on February 14 in the 3rd century AD. In one story, St. Valentine was a Roman priest (罗马神父) and physician who refused to change his religion was put to death in about 270 AD. Before his death, he cured the daughter of his jailer. As the story goes, he fell in love with the daughter and wrote her a letter signed "from your Valentine" on the day of his death. Whoever the man was, the day in his name replaced the Roman festival of Lupercalia. How Did a Christian Holiday Become a Modern-Day Celebration of Romance? The English poet Geoffrey Chaucer (杰弗里·乔叟), who lived in the Middle Ages, is believed to have connected St. Valentine's Day with the idea of romance. From then on, Valentine's Day was seen as a day of romantic love. Why Do We Send Valentines? If the tale of St. Valentine is true, his letter to the jailer's daughter probably counts as the first valentine. But historians say that the earliest valentines as we think of them today came about in Europe and the United States in the 17th century. They were possibly inspired by the German tradition of exchanging friendship cards. These early valentines were handmade with emotionalmessages. Over time, as printing and postal services advanced, valentines became a big commercialbusiness. Today, about 145 million valentines are sold every year. We think DIY Valentine's card ideas are still worth trying, though! While Valentine's Day is celebrated around the world—in the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, South Korea, France, Argentina, and Mexico, among other countries, unfortunately, it's not a bank holiday or day off. What's the Meaning of Valentine’s Day? The meaning of Valentine's Day can be whatever you want. You can skipthe celebrations completely, buy yourself some chocolate or flowers, or express your love and appreciationfor the people in your life, whether they're coworkers, romantic partners, friends, or family members. ▲Valentine's Day 情人节或圣瓦伦丁节 ▲religious /rɪˈlɪdʒəs/  adj.宗教的 The building is used for religious purposes. 这座建筑是用于宗教活动的。 【拓展】(大纲) religion /rɪˈlɪdʒən/  n. 宗教，宗教信仰 Is there always a conflict between science and religion? 科学和宗教信仰之间是否永远存在着冲突？ ▲(课标)ban /bæn/ v.明令禁止，取缔；n. 禁令 He was banned from driving for six months. 他被禁止驾驶六个月。 There is to be a total ban on smoking in the office. 办公室将彻底禁止吸烟。 ▲(课标) advocate/ˈædvəkeɪt/  v. 拥护，支持，提倡； /ˈædvəkət/  n. 拥护者，支持者，提倡者 Many experts advocate rewarding your child for good behaviour. 很多专家主张对小孩的良好表现加以奖励。 He was a strong advocate of free market. 他是自由市场的坚定倡导者。 ▲(大纲)sacrifice/ˈsækrɪfaɪs/ v. 牺牲，献出；n. 牺牲，舍弃 She sacrificed everything for her children. 她为子女牺牲了一切。 She made many sacrifices to get Tom a good education. 为了让汤姆受到良好教育，她做出了很多牺牲。 ▲ emotional /ɪˈməʊʃənl/  adj.感情的，情感的，情绪的 Mothers are often the ones who provide emotional support for the family. 母亲通常是家庭的情感支柱。 【拓展】(课标) emotion /ɪˈməʊʃ(ə)n/  n. 强烈的感情，激情，情感，情绪 He lost control of his emotions. 他情绪失去了控制。 ▲(课标)commercial  /kəˈmɜːʃ(ə)l/  adj. 贸易的，商业的 The route is used every day by many hundreds of commercial vehicles. 这条路线每天都有成百辆商用车通过。 【拓展】commerce /ˈkɒmɜːs/  n. 贸易，商业，商务 They have made their fortunes from industry and commerce. 他们从工商业中发了财。 ▲(课标) skip/skɪp/ v. 不做（应做的事等），不参加 I often skip breakfast altogether. 我常常干脆不吃早饭。 ▲appreciation /əˌpriːʃiˈeɪʃn/  n. 欣赏，同情，感激 She shows little appreciation of good music. 她感受不到美好音乐的妙处。 I had no appreciation of the problems they faced. 我没有体谅到他们所面临的困难。 【拓展】appreciate /əˈpriːʃieɪt/  v. 欣赏，赏识，重视；感激，感谢；理解，意识到；领会 What I failed to appreciate was the distance between the two cities. 我没有意识到这两座城市间的距离。 We would appreciate you letting us know of any problems. 如有任何问题，请告诉我们。 I would appreciate it if you paid in cash. 假如你支付现金的话，我会不胜感激。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
