FLOWER LANGUAGE
The language of flowers
The Language of FlowersSweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.—Thomas Hood花卉语言是一种美丽的语言, 每一朵、每一束鲜花都传递着人们的感情。
“此时无声胜有声”，千言万语，尽在花语中。
"My love is like a red, red rose, that’s newly sprung in June..."So wrote the talented Scottish poet, Robert Burns, and we all recognize the red rose as the ultimate flower symbol of love.For hundreds of years flowers have held hidden meanings, derived from mythology1, mythology [mi'θɔlɔdʒi]神话folk tales, religious and historical symbolism. The bouquet2 you send or receive brings a special coded message, depending on the flowers you choose.In the 1600s, a language of flowers developed in Constantinople (capital of the Turkish Empire) and in the poetry of Persia. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu brought the flower language and flower meanings from Turkey to England in 1716.In 1819, Louise Cortambert, under the penname Madame Charlotte de la Tour, wrote and published what seems to have been the first dictionary of the flower language, entitled Le Language des Fleurs. It was a small book, but it became a popular reference on the subject.During the Victorian era, the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, the meaning and language of flowers became increasingly popular. Victorian women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings that the strict rules of correct behavior would not allow.In 1884, a whole book on the subject, entitled The Language of Flowers, by Jean Marsh, waspublished in London. It became popular and respected and has been the standard source for flower meanings ever since.Bluebell —constancy and everlasting loveThe Latin name for this flower is Endymion, who was the lover of the moon goddess. The goddess put Endymion into an everlasting sleep, so she alone could enjoy his beauty. Bluebells are said to help prevent nightmares.Forget-me-not —true love and remembranceMythology describes forget-me-not as the flower chosen by a brave knight3 as a gift for his sweetheart before going to battle. When he knelt to gather the tiny blue flowers, he fell into a river and was swept away, calling to his love to "forget me not".Lily —innocence and purityIt is used in churches as a symbol of the Virgin Mary’s purity. Dedicated to the Greek goddess Hera, the wife of Zeus, the beautiful lily was supposedly formed from drops of Hera’s spilt breast milk. During Greek marriage ceremonies, the priest used to place a crown of lilies mixed with ears of wheat on the bride’s head, as a symbol of innocence and fertility4.Lily of the Valley —return to happinessA beautifully scented5 flower, it is believed that the lily of the valley protects your gardens from evil spirits. These blooms supposedly grew from Eve’s tears when she was cast out of the Garden of Eden.Narcissus —self-love and vanity6The flower name derives from Greek mythology and the tale of the beautiful Narcissus. He ignored the lovely Echo, and so was punished by falling in love with his own reflection in a pool.The gods believed Narcissus would die of starvation7, so they transformed him into the delicate form of scented flower, so he could stay there forever.Olive —peaceIt is used as a remedy8 for tired-ness. In Greek mythology, the olive tree was considered a holy tree blessed by Athena, the ancient god-dess of wisdom. To the Greeks, it represented peace and power, and wreathes9 of olive leaves were placed on the heads of brave warriors10 and Olympic athletes.Peony —shyness and beautyIt is considered the most beautiful flower by the Chinese. In Western folk tales, the peony was linked to the moon, and was believed to have been created by the moon goddess to reflect the moon’s beams11 during the night.Notes:1. mythology n.神话2. bouquet n.花束3. knight n.(欧洲中世纪的)骑士,武士4. fertility n.丰产5. scented adj.芬芳的6. vanity n.自负,虚荣7. starvation n.饥饿, 饿死8. remedy n.治疗；药品9. wreath n.花环, 花冠10. warrior n.(尤指旧时的)战士, 勇士, 武士11. beam n.光Treasure Boxbluebell 蓝钟花；风铃草forget-me-not 勿忘我lily 百合花lily of the valley 铃兰narcissus 水仙olive 橄榄peony 牡丹；芍药Poppy—remembrance, sleepRed poppies grow well in disturbed earth throughout Western Europe, and after the Napoleonic wars the land was covered in red poppies, as were the fields of Northern France and Flanders after the First World War. The flower became the symbol of all the soldiers who had fallen during battle."In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row ..."—John McCrae, In Flander’s FieldsRosemary —remembranceLatin for "dew of the sea", it is often grown by the sea. Rosemary is said to live for thirty-three years be-fore it dies."There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance."—Shakespeare, HamletRose —the traditional flower of Valentine’s Day and loveIts name comes from a Roman legend of a woman, named Rodanthe. She was pursued by many suitors1, who finally became so impassioned that they broke down the doors of her house. This angered the goddess Diana, who turned the woman into a flower and her suitors each into a thorn2. Roses of different colors can send different messages.RedRed roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance, as well as beauty and perfection. A red rose is often the romantic gift given to your love on Valentine’s Day.PinkAs a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness.YellowThe bright, sunny color of the yellow rose evokes3 a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are similar to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.WhiteWhite roses represent innocence and purity, and are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings.OrangeWith their blazing energy, orange roses are the embodiment4of desire and enthusiasm. Orange roses often symbolize passion and excitement, and are an expression of passionate romance. A bouquet of orange roses will send a meaningful message.Lavender5The unique beauty of the lavender rose has captured many hearts and imaginations. It is traditionally used to express feelings of love at first sight.Snowdrop —hope, purityOne of the earliest spring flowers that arrive during cold conditions, it is known as the "flower of hope"—a sign of life returning to the earth after the long winter months.Tulip —fame, perfect loverOriginally a wild flower growing in Central Asia, Tulip is named after the Turkish word for turban6. As with roses, different colors bring their own meanings: red —a declaration of love; yellow —hopeless love; striped —beautiful eyes.Violet —faithfulness and modestyWhen Napoleon Bonaparte married Josephine, she was said to have worn violets, and he sent her a bouquet every anniversary. He apparently worea locket7containing violets he had gathered from Josephine’s grave.With the knowledge above, you should be able to assemble a meaningful gift of flowers or a bouquet that conveys a complex thought. Wrap the flowers appropriately and present them in a significant manner. At last, just to be certain that your efforts are not misinterpreted, it’s advisable to attach with the flowers a card that fully explains their meaning.Notes:1. suitor n.求婚者2. thorn n.刺,棘3. evoke v.唤起,引起(感情或形象)4. embodiment n.典型,化身5. lavender n.淡紫色6. turban n.(穆斯林和印度教男教徒用的)包头巾7. locket n.盒式项链坠Treasure Boxpoppy罂粟花rosemary迷迭香rose玫瑰snowdrop雪花莲tulip郁金香violet紫罗兰LinksJohn McCrae’s In Flanders Fields remains to this day as one of the most memorable war poems ever written.In Flanders Fields—By John McCrae (1872-1918)In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row,That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.。
