When visiting the city
An old song says that “love makes the world go around.” If you watch Americans on Valentine's Day, you can believe it. The whole country breaks out with little red hearts. Love-struck people give cards, flowers and candy to their sweethearts. You might call it an annual celebration of love.有首老歌是这么唱的「爱让世界旋转」。如果你在情人节观察美国人,你就会相信,因为全国突然出现许多小红心,恋爱的人会送卡片、花和糖果给他们的情人,也许我们可以称这是个爱的节日。
Americans are romantic all year long, but especially on February 14. Valentine's Day gives people an excuse to ask someone they admire to “be their valentine.”美国人全年都是罗曼蒂克的,尤其是在二月十四日。情人节给了人们借口请他们所欣赏的人做他们的情人。
