Saint Valentine relates his story

  Priest Valentine relates his story 

There are varying versionsas tothe origin of Valentine's Day. This year, we invite the priest Valentine to tell of his moving story that happened in the days of Emperor Claudius. It is about worldly love and the holy mission.

關(guān)于"情人節(jié)"的來(lái)歷，現(xiàn)存的版本很多。06年"情人節(jié)"到來(lái)之際，我們請(qǐng)到了傳說(shuō)中的圣·瓦倫丁，讓他親口講述一段發(fā)生在克羅狄烏斯時(shí)代有關(guān)"神職之愛(ài)"與"世俗之愛(ài)"的故事。


    

A bride and groom take a photo in front of a wall in Paris, which is dotted with the words "I LOVE YOU" in 311 different languages.

 Say "I Love you" in different languages

Close your eyes andpicturean emotional image: You proclaim your love to the God-blessed beloved in 311 different languages on the day of Valentine… Theoddsare that your tongues would have been held up by a deep kiss from yourswooningsweetheart before you could accomplish the grand cause. Maybe, on the moment you say the divine words in the 17th language.

閉上眼睛，想像一副畫(huà)面：情人節(jié)那天，你用世界上311種語(yǔ)言對(duì)你的愛(ài)人說(shuō)"我愛(ài)你"… 他或她會(huì)是什么反應(yīng)？實(shí)事上，不等你說(shuō)到第311個(gè)時(shí)（也或許是第17個(gè)），愛(ài)人或許就已用熱吻把你剩余的語(yǔ)言全部吞咽了。

Read love "code" by means of countries' name。

 Read love "code" by means of countries' name

Linguists would probablyshed their tearswhen coming up with the coined love "code."For allnovelty, the absurd "Chinglish" should have been condemned. However, in the name of true LOVE, we beg Muse for a pardon on this Valentine's Day.

用國(guó)家名稱作為"愛(ài)情代碼"，很有創(chuàng)意但也很不正統(tǒng)。語(yǔ)言學(xué)家看到了，會(huì)痛心我們對(duì)文字的褻瀆。但今天，2006年情人節(jié)來(lái)臨之際，我們以"真愛(ài)"之名，請(qǐng)求繆斯暫且容忍以下荒誕的"中國(guó)式英語(yǔ)"。
