One of the symbols of St. Valentine's Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printed on the card, who is winged infant without wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love immediately, maybe with the first person to come along.
Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have picture of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of Love.
参考译文
情人节的标志之一是罗马爱神——丘比特。丘比特经常被印在卡片上,他是一个赤身裸体、长有翅膀的婴儿,手里拿着箭,摆出一副要射心的姿势。他把爱之箭射中一个人的心,这个人会很快坠入爱河,可能是和他(她)第一个见到的人。
有时候,一只箭会射中两颗心,把它们穿在一起。在二月十四日,我们不仅有基督的"圣·瓦伦登"的画像,还有非基督的罗马爱神丘比特的画像。
