我有时会注意到老美的一些用字，虽然我能了解，但自已从来不会去用的。例如老美讲 head home，也就是 go home 的意思。像这种用法当然我一听就能懂，但要我自己用 head home 就比较难了。同样的例子也发生在 hand 这个字上，一般我们都喜欢讲 give it to me，但如果你注意一下老美的讲话习惯，他们也常讲 hand it to me。
不过以上所举出的例子，head/ go 和 give/ hand 其实跟个人习惯和地域有很大的关系。像我一些从南方各州来的同学，我就听他们常用 head 或 hand 当动词，但是我今年的新室友是从纽约来的，他看到我笔记上写 head home 还问我这是什么东西 ,他说他向来只会用 go / give，但很少用 head / hand，特别是像 "Where are you heading?" 这种话他是从来不会讲的。

Instead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. Claudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young men that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. When he failed, he was stoned and beheaded.
