　　總體分析

　　本文介紹了情人節(jié)的由來。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祝活動。第二段介紹情人節(jié)是為了紀念一位羅馬牧師。第三段指出情人節(jié)已經(jīng)成為愛的主要象征。

　　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)。當兇猛的狼群在四周游蕩時，古老的羅馬人請求牧神盧帕克斯來幫助他們。一個向該神表達敬意的節(jié)日于2月15日舉行。在這個節(jié)日的前夕女孩們的名字被寫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一年中將成為他的戀人。

　　傳說這個節(jié)日之所以成為圣瓦倫丁節(jié)是為了紀念一位名叫瓦倫丁的羅馬牧師。國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為結(jié)了婚的士兵更愿意留守家中而不是上戰(zhàn)場。當瓦倫丁違抗了國王的意愿，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�；�督教會牧師們將這個節(jié)日從15日改為14日，即，圣瓦倫丁節(jié)�，F(xiàn)在這個節(jié)日紀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)成為愛和浪漫的一個主要象征。古代的愛神丘比特和他射入愛人心中的箭也許仍然被用來表現(xiàn)愛上某人或談戀愛。但是我們也使用卡片和禮物，比如鮮花或珠寶來做同樣的事情。在圣瓦倫丁節(jié)忘記給妻子或戀人送花有時能像忘記生日或結(jié)婚紀念日一樣糟糕。
