虽然情人节以瓦伦丁命名,但它的起源比这一时间还要早。
The ancient Romans celebrated5 a holiday for lovers more than 2,000 years ago.
2000多年前,古罗马人就开始庆祝情人们的节日。
As part of the celebration,each girl wrote her name on a piece of paper and put it in a large container.
作为情人节庆祝活动的一部分,姑娘们把她们的名字分别写字一张张纸条上,然后把纸条放进一个大盒子里。

Sometimes they send other gifts, too,like jewelry6... or flowers... or candy... or all three!

Americans usually send cards through the mail system or in a computer message.

But there is another way many Americans send messages of love on Valentine's Day.
在情人节这一天,许多美国人还有另外一种互诉情衷的方式。
They pay to have them printed in a newspaper.
他们花钱把要传达的爱慕之情刊登在报纸上。
Some of these messages are simple and short:Susan, I love you very much. From John.

Others say more, like this example:David, roses are red, violets7 are blue.I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever, Mary.
有的信息会长一些,比如:大卫,玫瑰是红色的,紫罗兰是紫色的,我希望你像我爱你那样爱我,直到永远,玛丽。
There is only one problem in sending a Valentine's Day message this way.
这种表达爱意的唯一缺憾是:
It will only reach the one you love if he or she reads the newspaper that day!
如果你的爱人没有读当天报纸中的这栏信息,那么你的爱意就无法传达给对方。
