On February 14, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the king decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the king sentenced him to to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before he died, he wrote her a letter, where he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today.

在2月14日，男孩带他的女朋友出去吃饭，给她买花和巧克力是这个节日的一种习俗！这也就是你在情人节看到的情景。情人节是以公元三世纪的罗马牧师瓦伦丁的名字命名的。当国王决定单身男人可以成为比有妻子的男人更好的士兵时，他不允许人们结婚。但是瓦伦丁继续秘密地为年轻的恋人举行婚礼。当他的行为被发现后，国王判处他死刑。在监狱里，据说瓦伦丁爱上了监狱看守的女儿。临死前，他给她写了一封信，信中他签上了“来自你的瓦伦丁”，这个表达至今仍在使用。

Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties where small gifts will be exchanged. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.

如今，情人节在中国的年轻人中也很流行。一些学生计划为家长、老师和朋友制作情人节卡片。另一些人想举办聚会，在那里交换小礼物。这样做的目的是为了让大家开心，并鼓励大家分享圣瓦伦丁节的精神。

高考试题中关于中国传统节日和西方节日的看法

Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy on them. But at the same time, people seem to have less enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mooncake Festival.

像圣诞节、情人节这样的西方节日在中国越来越受欢迎。一些中国人甚至对他们着迷。但与此同时，人们似乎对我们的传统节日，如春节和月饼节没有多大热情。

In my opinion, the celebration of western holiday is a good way of learning the western cultures, which helps to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures. Besides, the celebration can also make our life more interesting. However, we should make great efforts to preserve and enrich our own traditional culture.

在我看来，庆祝西方节日是学习西方文化的好方法，这有助于促进中国文化和其他文化之间的理解和交流。此外，庆祝也可以使我们的生活更有趣。然而，我们应该努力保护和丰富我们自己的传统文化。
