还有 其它 的说法也颇为有趣。比如说有人认为在克劳迪亚斯君王统治时期,桑特-瓦仑丁曾经是一名神父,因为公然挑战克劳迪亚斯君王的权威身陷囹圄。所以公元前496年罗马教皇格莱西亚斯特意将2月14日作为一个特别的日子以纪念桑特-瓦伦丁。

七夕节国外的叫法有好几种,有按照西方情人节的叫法翻译的,也有按照具体的日期翻译的,甚至还有直接音译的。
具体主要有以下几种叫法:
1、Chinese Valentine's Day,
西方情人节叫做Valentine's Day,为公历2月14日,而七夕节被称为中国的情人节,所以翻译上也就按照西方情人节的名称来命名了。
2、Double Seventh Day或者the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month,
七夕的日期是每年的农历七月初七,两个七的组合或者是七月七日的翻译就是这个叫法的来源。
3、Magpie Festival
magpie有“喜鹊”的意思,而七夕节的传说当中,这一天牛郎织女是要在鹊桥上相会的。鹊桥是无数的喜鹊在银河上搭起来的桥,七夕节被叫做喜鹊节其实不怎么准确。
4、Qixi Festival
直接音译,七夕两个字的拼音代表,根本不需要翻译。这种直译的方式不太常见,但是偶尔也会有。
除了中国之外,日本、韩国都是过七夕节的。
日本七夕:Tanabata
这个词也是七夕的意思,但指的是日本的七夕节。
日本的七夕节起源于咱们中国的七夕,七夕是中国的情人节,可是在日本,却和情人节沾不上什么边。和日本新年一样,七夕可以许愿,把心愿写在纸条上,然后挂在树上。
韩国七夕:Chilseok
韩国也过七夕,英文是:Chilseok,英文解释是:A Korean traditional festival which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Korean lunisolar calendar。
意思就是阴阳节,韩国七月初七的一个传统节日。
七夕节最常用的英语叫法还是Chinese Valentine's Day,也就是中国情人节。这个叫法更加让人容易理解,尤其是面对西方人的时候,他们一下子就能明白这个节日的意义了。
这个就像周总理把梁山伯与祝英台翻译成中国的罗密欧与朱丽叶一样,是个很好的译法。
情人节英文:Valentine's Day

拓展:
情人节,又称圣瓦伦丁节或圣华伦泰节,时间是每年公历的2月14日,是西方国家的传统节日之一,起源于基督教。如今已经成为全世界著名的浪漫节日,但是不同国家的人们表达爱意的方式却各不相同。
情人节是一个关于爱、浪漫以及花、巧克力、贺卡的节日,男女在这一天互送礼物用以表达爱意或友好。情人节的晚餐约会通常代表了情侣关系的发展关键。
情人节现已成为欧美各国青年人喜爱的节日,其他国家也已开始流行。中国将传统节日七夕节视作情人节。
七夕节用英语可以有以下多个说法:
1Magpie Festival (喜鹊节,源于七夕节传说牛郎织女鹊桥相会)
2Double Seventh Day/Festival(七夕节为七月初七,直接将节日日期翻译出来是节日翻译的一种)
3Chinese Valentine's Day(西方情人节(Valentine's Day)故七夕节被称为中国情人节)
4Qixi Festival(直接音译)
具体使用哪一种译文,可根据使用情景进行选择。选择最符合情景氛围的表达方式,更能传达出七夕节的浪漫爱情主题。
,快过年了,祝你节日快乐
, the new year, I wish you a happy holiday
,快过年了,祝你节日快乐
