情人节是那些恋情甜蜜又稳定的情侣的节日。在情人节,新鲜的红玫瑰花束成了爱情的代言者。但为什么送的是玫瑰,而且一定要是红玫瑰呢?红玫瑰是怎么成为情人节的代名词的呢?民俗学者萨拉·克莱托说道:“一些传说中讲到,希腊女神阿芙洛狄特被一株白玫瑰的刺划伤了,从而诞生出第一朵红玫瑰。还有一些版本的说法是,第一朵红玫瑰是在阿芙洛狄特的眼泪掉落在她的情人阿多尼斯死去的地方时长出来的。”
For people in satisfying and committed relationships,there's Valentine's Day,a holiday in which warm feelings are represented by a fresh bouquet of red roses.But why roses?And why red?How did they come to be synonymous with Valentine's Day?"Some stories say that the first red rose was created when the Greek goddess Aphrodite was scratched by a white rose's thorn,causing that rose to turn red,"folklorist Sara Cleto said."
