| Russia 俄罗斯 This holiday is quite new to Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Still, its popularity grows with every year and is now celebrated almost by anyone. The flower selection of this holiday is strictly traditional. All the traditions as well as the very idea of the holiday were brought from the West. Red roses is a must on that day. Heart-shaped accessories will give a valentine's look to almost any bouquet. If you want to impress your beloved ones, you can give a heart-shaped centerpiece of fresh flowers. Scotland 苏格兰 In Scotland, Valentine's Day is celebrated with a festival. At this festival, there is an equal number of unmarried males and females, each of whom write their name (or a made-up name) on a piece of paper which is then folded and placed into a hat...one hat for the ladies and one for the men. The females then draw a name from the hat containing the men's names and vice versa. Of course, it is highly likely that the two drawn names will not match, in which event, it is usually expected that the male partner with the female who selected his name. This rite having been completed, the company split up into couples and gifts are given to the ladies. The females would then pin the name of their partner over their hearts or on their sleeves. A dance often follows and, at the end of the festival, it is not unusual for marriages to take place. According to another Scottish custom, the first young man or woman encountered by chance on the street or elsewhere will become that individual's valentine. Valentine's Day gifts in Scotland are frequently given by both parties in the form of a love-token or true-love-knot. Spain 西班牙 In Spain, it is customary for courting couples to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and for husbands to send their wives bouquets of roses. Taiwan 台湾 Valentine's Day is celebrated in Taiwan on February 14, but there is also a special Valentine's Day on July 7 of the lunar calendar, based on an ancient Chinese folktale. Both dates are equally as important. Many men purchase expensive bouquets of roses and other flowers for their sweethearts on these days. According to Taiwan tradition, the color and number of the roses holds much significance. For example, one red rose means "an only love," eleven roses means "a favorite," ninety-nine roses means "forever," and one hundred eight roses means "marry me." valentine n. 情人，情人卡 extravagent adj. 奢侈的，昂贵的 satin n. 缎子 taxidermied adj.作成了标本的 courtship n. 求爱 flag v. 标示 motif n. 主题，装饰图案 lithograph v. 平版印刷 cone n. 圆锥形物，球果 emboss v. 凸印字体或图案 bay leaf 月桂叶 yolk n. 蛋黄 pen v. 写 caraway n. 葛缕子干籽 bonfire n. 篝火 effigy n. 模拟像，画像 baptismal adj. 洗礼的 arbor n. 棚架，凉棚 betrothed adj. 订了婚的 bon-bon n. 糖果 marshmallow n. 果浆软糖 confection n. 甜点，甜食 partake v. 吃，喝，享用 centerpiece n. 中心装饰品 defy v. 违抗，反抗 execution n. 处决，执行 ode n. 颂歌，颂诗 |
