But the origins of this festival of candy and cupids are actually dark, bloody — and a bit muddled. 现代情人节意味着浪漫、爱情和海誓山盟。然而，这个充满甜蜜和爱情的节日来历，却很黑暗、血腥——还有点混乱。 Though no one has pinpointed the exact origin of the holiday, one good place to start is ancient Rome, where men hit on women by, well, hitting them. 尽管没有节日起源的确切说法，最可能源自古罗马，那里的男人碰上女人，嗯，打上女人。 Those Wild and Crazy Romans 野蛮疯狂的罗马人 From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia.
