Sara: Not too much, but it's a good job for a business student like me.
Rob: It seems like most English enthusiasts are into business.
Sara: Can I tell you something, Rob? You look just like my ex-boyfriend.

Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. Claudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young men that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. When he failed, he was stoned and beheaded.
教会要寻找一位合适的爱情守护神来代替异教的畜牧神。他们发现于公元270年被克劳狄皇帝砍头的瓦伦廷是适宜的人选。克劳狄断定已婚男人不可能成为好士兵，所以他在他的帝国禁止婚姻。但是瓦伦廷秘密地为找上门的年轻人证婚。当克劳狄发现此事后，他先是试图将瓦伦廷变成异教徒。但是瓦伦廷反而试图使克劳狄改信基督教。失败后，瓦伦廷被石头砸死并被砍头。 | |
