情人节英语:为什么不说 Lovers' Day,而要说 Valentine's Day?
首先赶紧码住英文电影中的动人情话
说给你喜欢的那个人听~
1)《爱情灵药》
I used to worry a lot about who I'll be when I grow up.
Sometimes the things you want the most doesn't happen,
and sometimes the thing you never expect happen does.
You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed. Forever.
我曾无数次想象长大之后会成了谁,
一些事你最想要的却从未发生,
但一些从未期待过的事情却发生。
你遇见 1000 个人也不一定有一个能打动你,但有一天 , 你遇到一个人却可以改变你的一生。
《当哈利遇上莎莉》
I love that you get cold when it's seventy one degrees out,
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich,
I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts,
I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes
and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.
And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Years Eve.
I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody,
you want the rest of the life to start as soon as possible.
我爱你当外面71华氏度的时候还感冒,
我爱你用半个小时点三明治,
我爱你仰着头皱着眉看着我就像我是傻瓜,
我爱和你呆上一整天之后衣服上有你香水的味道,
我爱你是因为你是每晚睡前我最后一个想说话的人。
这不是因为我孤单或者今天是新年夜。
我今晚来到这里,是因为当你你意识到你要和某人共度余生,
你会希望你的余生尽早开始。
《指环王1:魔戒再现》
I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
我愿和你共度这凡人短暂的一生,也不愿意一个人看尽这世界的沧海桑田。
《赎罪》
I will return, find you , love you ,marry you and live without shame.
我会回去,回去找你,爱你,娶你,然后挺起胸膛生活。
The lovers survive and flourish. As long as there is a single copy, a solitary typescript of my final draft, then my spontaneous, fortuitous sister and her medical prince survive to love.有情人生生不息。只要我最后一稿的打印孤本留存于世,那么我那纯洁率性而有奇缘的姐姐和她的医生王子定会相亲相爱,直到地老天荒。
那情人节英语 为什么不说 Lovers' Day,而要说 Valentine's Day?Valentine 也是“情人”的意思,为什么要用 Valentine 而不用 lover 还要从情人节的历史渊源说起~
Valentine 是谁?
Valentine's Day情人节
Valentine 最开始其实是个人名。据说古罗马时期战争频仍,暴君下令所有男子加入军队。为了让男子不分心,甚至下令禁止结婚。而 Valentine 是古罗马的一个神父,他不忍心看到一对对情侣无法结婚就被迫分离,于是秘密为情侣主持婚礼。
时间一长,消息就传到皇帝耳中。神父被捕入狱,最后被折磨致死。他去世那天,是公元 270 年 2 月 14 日。人们开始纪念这个日子,并将它称为 Valentine's Day。后来,这个日子渐渐演变成情侣表达爱意的日子。
例句:
Happy Valentine's Day. You are the love of my life.情人节快乐,你是我一生的挚爱。
Chinese Valentine's Day
Qixi Festival
七夕节
外国的“情人节”是 Valentine's Day,那中国的“七夕节”呢?可以在 Valentine'sDay 前面加个 Chinese,也可以在说 Qixi Festival。一般情况下,如果节假日以 Day 结尾,那前面不加 the,如果以 festival 结尾,前面可以加 the,也可以不加。
例句:
What are you going to do on Chinese Valentine's Day?
七夕那天你们打算做什么?
ask someone out≠叫某人出来
订婚≠order marriage
