The origin of Valentine

情人节的来历

Still others say the name is originated from a French word meaning ``gallant''(a man who pays great attention to women). And one further theory is that February 14 was chosen because birds traditionally began to male on that day.

还有人认为，这个名字源于一个法国字，意思是"对妇女献殷勤的人"。还有一种理论讲，之所以选定2月14日作为情人节，是因为鸟类传统上从这一天起开始发情交配。
