Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century. There are many stories about St. Valentine and over time these stories grew into the legend we know today.
情人节是以圣瓦伦丁的名字命名的，他是3世纪生活在罗马的一位天主教牧师 。关于圣瓦伦丁有很多故事，随着时间的推移，这些故事逐渐发展成为我们今天所知道的传说 。
At the time of Valentine's life, many Romans were converting to Christianity, but the Emperor Claudius II was a pagan and created strict laws about what Christians were allowed to do. Claudius believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome and therefore passed a law preventing them from marrying. St. Valentine began to marry these soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and this was the beginning of his reputation for believing in the importance of love. It is for this reason that his feast day is associated with love.
在瓦伦丁在世的时候 ， 许多罗马人都皈依了基督教，但克劳迪亚斯二世皇帝是异教徒 ， 他制定了严格的法律，规定基督徒可以做什么 。克劳迪亚斯认为罗马士兵应该完全献身于罗马，因此通过了一项禁止他们结婚的法律 。圣瓦伦丁开始在秘密的基督教仪式上帮助这些士兵结婚，这是他相信爱情重要性的开端 。正是这个原因 ， 他的节日与爱联系在了一起 。
Eventually, Valentine was found out and jailed for his crimes against Claudius. While imprisoned, Valentine cared for his fellow prisoners and also his jailor's blind daughter. Legend has it that Valentine cured the girl's blindness and that his final act before being executed was to write her a love message signed ‘from your Valentine'. Valentine was executed on 14 February in the year 270.
最终，瓦伦丁的所作所为被发现并因反对克劳迪亚斯而入狱 。在监禁期间，瓦伦丁照顾他的狱友以及狱卒的盲人女儿 。传说瓦伦丁治好了这个女孩的失明，他在被处决前的最后一件事是给女孩写了一封爱的信，签名是“来自你的瓦伦丁” 。瓦伦丁于公元270年2月14日被处死 。
