提前了十天准备了这篇文章。不知道这一天是否还继续被困在窝里，各位Happy Valentine！送给大家一篇简单的情人节介绍，一起听英语重温Valetine's Day
Americanscelebrate Valentine's Day each year on February fourteenth.
It isa holiday for lovers. Valentine's Day is a good day for a man to ask hisgirlfriend to marry him. It is also a good day for couples to get married. Othercouples might go out for a special meal at a nice restaurant. The holiday isnamed for Saint Valentine. He was an early Christian churchman who reportedlyhelped young lovers. Valentine was executed for his Christian beliefs onFebruary fourteenth, more than 1,700 years ago. But the day that has his nameis even older than that. The ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers morethan 2,000 years ago. As part of the celebration, each girl wrote her name on apiece of paper and put it in a large container. Each boy reached into thecontainer and pulled out the name of a girl. That girl became his girlfriendfor a year. Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper on Valentine's Day.They send each other cards that express their love. Sometimes they send othergifts, too, like jewelry... or flowers... or candy... or all three! Americansusually send cards through the mail system or in a computer message. But thereis another way many Americans send messages of love on Valentine's Day. Theypay to have them printed in a newspaper. Some of these messages are simple andshort: "Susan, I love you very much. From John." Others say more,like this example:"David, roses are red, violets are blue. I hope you loveme as much as I love you. Forever, Mary." There is only one problem insending a Valentine's Day message this way. It will only reach the one you loveif he or she reads the newspaper that day!
