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。
