1: Romantic 浪漫的
We associate this word with sweetness and love, but it emerged from the conquering powers of the Roman Empire.
虽然我们一直把romantic这个词与"甜蜜、爱情"相联系，但是这个词却来自于罗马帝国的强大的征服力。
The expansion of ancient Rome created various dialects of Latin called "romans." (These evolved into Italian, French, Spanish, and others - the Romance languages.)
古罗马帝国的扩张致使了各种拉丁方言的诞生，这些方言被称作"romans"。(现在这些方言演变为了意大利语、法语、西班牙语等等罗曼语系。)
"Romans" were used to write popular stories involving chivalric or courtly love, and such tales became known as romances.
当时人们用"Romans"语言来写包括骑士时代或宫廷式爱情故事在内的各种流行小说，而这些故事后来就被称为romances了。
If we describe Rome today as a "romantic" city, we're using a word that has travelled a long way to come home.
如果现在我们用"romantic"这个词来形容罗马的话，那我们可是把这个词从远方带回了它的故乡呢。
2: Valentine 情人;情人节礼物
Christianity has more than one martyr named Valentine, and the one, true Valentine is uncertain.
基督教的殉教者中绝对不止一个人叫Valentine，而这个真正的Valentine究竟是谁并不确定。
Romantics favor the tale of the third-century Roman emperor and priest Valentine. Supposedly, Valentine had fallen in love with his jailer's daughter, and shortly before his death sent a letter to her "from your Valentine."
浪漫主义者们喜欢三世纪罗马帝王与牧师Valentine的故事。据说，牧师Valentine同监狱狱卒的女儿相爱了，在自己临死前不久，他给了女孩一封信，上面写着"来自你的Valentine"。
