白色情人節：彌補遺憾和回禮的日子！

’White Valentine Day!

白色情人節：彌補遺憾和回禮的日子！


February is over, and you’ve survived yet another Valentine’s Day! But hold up, you’re not out of the woods quite yet!

2月份已經(jīng)結束了，恭喜你們這些單身狗又活過(guò)一個(gè)情人節！但是堅持住，對單身狗的考驗還沒(méi)結束呢！

For most of us in the West, Valentine’s Day ends on February 15, but in Japan it’s not quite over until March 15. March 14 – exactly one month after Valentine’s Day – is White Day in Japan.

對大多數歐美地區的人來(lái)說(shuō)，情人節2月15日就結束了，但是在日本情人節要等到3月15日才真正算完。3月14日——剛好情人節一個(gè)月之后——是日本的白色情人節。

Valentine’s Day In Japan

一、日本情人節。

To really understand what White Day is all about, you have to understand what Valentine’s Day in Japan is like. The basic gist of Japanese Valentine’s Day is that it’s all about the guys.

要想真正了解白色情人節是怎么回事，你必須先知道日本的情人節是怎么樣的。日本情人節最基本的一點(diǎn)是——男人是情人節的主角。

Unlike Western traditions where gift exchanges between loved ones are mutual, Japanese Valentine’s Day is all about men getting presents. Sorry ladies, but you’re out of luck on Valentine’s Day if you want to celebrate it Japanese-style. Women have to wait for White Day before they can get any gifts.

和西方情人節時(shí)情侶互換禮物的習俗不同，日本情人節主要是女性單方面送禮物給男性。對不起啦妹子們，但是如果你們想慶祝日式情人節的話(huà)，那一天你可能就得兩手空空啦！女性們要等到白色情人節那天才會(huì )收到禮物。

What Is White Day?

二、什么是白色情人節？

If Valentine’s Day in Japan is all about the guys, White Day is all about the ladies. White Day is a chance for all the men who received gifts on Valentine’s Day to return the favor to the ladies in their lives.

如果日本情人節的主角是男人的話(huà)，那么白色情人節的主角就是女人了。在情人節收到禮物的男士們會(huì )選擇在白色情人節那天給妹子們回禮。

White Day and Valentine’s Day have a lot of similarities. Both aren’t necessarily romantic holidays – you can give gifts to anybody of the opposite sex, even if your relationship is strictly platonic. Friends and co-workers exchange gifts on both days.

白色情人節和情人節有很多相似之處。兩個(gè)節日都可以無(wú)關(guān)風(fēng)月——你可以給任何異性送禮物，即使你們的關(guān)系非常純潔！朋友和同事都會(huì )在這兩個(gè)節日里互換禮物。

And on both days, chocolate is the gift of choice, but there’s a bit more nuance to it than buying a box of See’s and being done with it. You can buy different types of chocolates for your friends and co-workers, but the home-made one should be left to your significant other.

而且在這兩個(gè)節日里，巧克力都是送禮的首選，但是在商店買(mǎi)的巧克力和自己親手做的巧克力有點(diǎn)不同。你可以買(mǎi)不同品種的巧克力送給朋友和同事，但是親手做的那款一定得留給最重要的那個(gè)Ta。

The Origins Of White Day

三、白色情人節的起源。

Cynically enough, White Day is strictly a celebration manufactured by the candy industry. In 1978, the National Confectionery Industry Association tried to boost sales, and decided that a new holiday was the best way to do it.

很諷刺的是，嚴格上來(lái)說(shuō)白色情人節其實(shí)是日本糖果行業(yè)制造出來(lái)的一個(gè)節日。1978年日本全國甜食行業(yè)協(xié)會(huì )為了提高銷(xiāo)售額決定設立一個(gè)新的節日。

Originally it was called Marshmallow Day and was all about marshmallows, not chocolate. People liked the idea of the new holiday, but weren’t too keen on the marshmallows. The preferred candy changed from marshmallows to chocolate, but the color scheme stayed the same – hence the name "White Day," and why white chocolate remains a popular White Day gift, even today.

最開(kāi)始這個(gè)節日被叫做“棉花糖節”，市場(chǎng)上賣(mài)的都是棉花糖，而不是巧克力。當時(shí)的人們很喜歡這個(gè)節日，但是卻對棉花糖不太感冒。于是人們提議把節日的糖果從棉花糖換成巧克力，但是糖果的顏色仍然保持不變——因此得名“白色情人節”，這也正是為什么直到今天白色巧克力仍然是白色情人節的上佳禮物。

White Day Outside Of Japan

四、還有哪些地方的人過(guò)白色情人節？

White Day is definitely a uniquely Japanese invention, but it’s spread to some other Asian countries, including South Korea and China.
