lection of the magic he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a “mailbox” and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class. 4 That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a giftwrapped package at my chair. The card was signed “love, Dad,” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.

Hearing the boy's words, the girl tried desperately to open her eyes, but finally... She gave up.When the girl wakes up again, the boy was gone, leaving only a letter and a huge cream cake: "wait when season passed by, I'm not in your side, I take and not give to a person's lonely, simple life, worry is not only how to talk to you, until the next met, maybe don't know how to speak again, just want to tell you, I have been deeply in love with the girl like cream cakes, sunrise to sunset, always to her not to let it go... "Soon after, the boy's mail contained a letter from the girl: "you went away, took everything I had, hid my thoughts in my heart, made the only kiss, and won't forget the three years' promise you gave me. When you come back, my prince."Time, just like this in the girl's waiting and the boy's missing, slip away. The girl, still used to eating the cream cake, but there is no boy around.The girl waited for three years, but there was no news of the boy... For a long time, the bad news came from afar, and the boy left the girl forever because of his family illness.Girl crazy running in the wind, Shouting the name of the boy, tears blurred his eyes, let the girl look not clear direction, her world all disappeared, leaving only boy will never wake up!A bus unmercifully kissed the girl's weak body, the girl in the blood, before the eyes still picture the tender boy three years ago.The same ward, the same pale girl, no longer had a boy's guard. Because the car hit the girl's head, she pinned down the optic nerve, the girl - lost her sight.

Valentines Day, a day celebrated worldwide to express love and affection, holds a special place in my heart. As a high school student, I have experienced the excitement and joy that comes with this day, and I cherish the memories it brings.Growing up, I always looked forward to Valentines Day. It was a day when I could show my love and appreciation to those who mattered most to me. I remember the first time I gave a Valentines Day card to my crush in middle school. It was a simple, handmade card with a heartfelt message. I was nervous but excited at the same time. When she smiled and thanked me, it felt like the sun had come out after a long winter.As I grew older, my understanding of love evolved. Valentines Day became more than just a day to express romantic love. It was a day to celebrate the love between friends, family members, and even pets. I started giving out cards and small gifts to everyone I cared about. It was a way to show them that they were important to me and that I appreciated them.One Valentines Day that stands out in my memory was when my best friend moved away. We had been inseparable since kindergarten, and her departure left a void in my life. On Valentines Day that year, I decided to surprise her with a care package. I filled it with her favorite snacks, a handwritten letter, and a stuffed animal that reminded me of her. When she received it, she called me and we talked for hours. It was a bittersweet moment, but it made me realize the power of love and friendship.In high school, Valentines Day took on a different meaning for me. It was aday to celebrate the love I had for myself. I started treating myself to something special, whether it was a spa day, a new book, or a delicious meal. It was a reminder that selflove is just as important as loving others.Valentines Day has also taught me the importance of expressing love in different ways. Its not always about grand gestures or expensive gifts. Sometimes, a simple text message, a phone call, or a heartfelt conversation can mean the world to someone. Its about making someone feel valued and appreciated.As I look back on my experiences with Valentines Day, I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me. It has shown me the beauty of love in all its forms and the impact it can have on our lives. Whether its romantic love, friendship, or selflove, Valentines Day is a reminder to cherish the connections we have with others and to express our love and appreciation for them.In conclusion, Valentines Day has been a significant part of my life since I was a child. It has evolved from a day to express romantic love to a day to celebrate all forms of love. It has taught me the importance of expressing love in different ways and the power of love in our lives. As a high school student, I continue to cherish the memories and lessons that Valentines Day brings.。

情人节的故事英文版情人节的故事英文版下面是培根的《论爱情》,如果你需要一些txt的资料就留下邮箱,我可以给你发罗密欧与朱丽叶,爱就是一切,一棵开花的树之类的英文资料。

of love论爱情the stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. for as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury.舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。

因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材,而在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。

它有时象那位诱惑人的魔女(1),有时又象那位复仇的女神(2)。

you may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one, that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion. you must except, nevertheless, marcus antonius, the half partner of the empire of rome, and appius claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.你可以看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人,只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的),没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。

My Forever Valentine编者按:他最后一次送给我的这张贺卡如今仍保存在我的记事牌上。

它提醒我父亲是多么地不同寻常,以及这些年来对我是多么地重要,我知道我有这样一位父亲,他以慷慨的胸怀、朴素的理解和一生中向他的亲人表达祝福的能力,来保持着爱的传统。

英语原文The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat and eat as much as he could during halftime. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday cheer and do his holly-shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day.I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my " Valentine Man."My first recollection of the magic he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a " mailbox " and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class.That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed " Love, Dad" , and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed " Love, Dad" .In those years my " thank-yous" became more of a perfunctory response.The cards seemed less important, and I tookfor granted the valentine that would always be there. Long past the days of having a " mailbox" on my desk, I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from " significant others" , and " Love, Dad" just didn't seem quite enough.If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn't arrive for me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.My mailbox eventually had a rural address, and the job of hand-delivering candy and cards was relegated to the Service. Never in ten years was my father's package late--nor was it on the Valentine's Day eight years ago when I reached into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my mother's handwriting.It was the kind of card that comes in an inexpensive assortment box sold by a child going door-to-door to try to earn money for a school project. It was the kind of card that you used to get from a grandmother or an aging aunt or, in this case, a dying father. It was the kindof card that put a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes because you knew the person no longer was able to go out and buy a real valentine. It was a card that signaled this would be the last you receive from him. The card had a photograph of tulips on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed " Happy Valentine's Day" . Beneath it, scrawled in barely legible handwriting, was " Love, Dad" .His final card remains on my bulletin board today. It's a reminder of how special fathers can be and how important it had been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with a generosity of spirit, simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life. Those things never die, nor does the memory of a man who never stopped being my valentine.参考译文永远的情人节当我还是小孩子的时候,我们家过传统节日时总是把精心准备的节日餐安排在足球赛时间。

我父亲在中场休息时尽量聊些愉快的事儿并尽可能多吃东西。

在圣诞节他会找时间为庆祝节日干上一两杯,然后戴上他那冬青叶形状的领结。

但父亲真正光彩熠熠的时候是情人节。

我不知道这是否是因为他班上的工作在二月份不那么紧了,还是由于足球赛季结束了。

但情人节这天,是父亲用来向在他生活中占有特殊位置的人表达爱心的日子。

多少年来,我天真地把他看作是我"最思念的人"。

在我6岁那年的情人节,他给我带来了第一次美妙的回忆。

一连好几天我都忙于为我的同学制作情人节礼物。

我们每个人都要装饰一个"信箱",然后把它放在书桌上,这样别人就可以投放贺卡。

这个信箱和里面的东西带来了一连串苦乐参半的回忆:我进入了一个"人缘竞赛"的世界,所收卡片的多少则显示了比赛结果,对于男朋友和女朋友的揶揄,以及我对班里最聪明男孩给我的贺卡的精心爱护。
