Fun activities to share
分享有趣的活動
Visit the deep sea
參觀海底世界
You don't have to completely forget about summer in cold winter days. Embark on an exotic adventure with a visit to the aquarium. Aquariums are romantic because of the dim lighting and dreamy seascapes.
即使在寒冷的冬天，也不要把夏天統(tǒng)統(tǒng)拋在腦后。參觀水族館就像開啟了一場頗具異域風(fēng)情的冒險之旅?；璋档臒艄馀c夢幻般的海景都讓海洋館成為浪漫之地。
Go to improve
看一場即興表演
Watching comedy is a fun way to get away from the cold and bond over cheap laughs. In small improv troupes, comedians are given ridiculous scenarios to act out on the spot.
看場喜劇表演也是個擺脫寒冷的不錯選擇：兩個人一起因為一些沒深度的笑話而捧腹，彼此間的距離也因此變得親密。在一些小型即興表演劇團(tuán)里，喜劇演員們經(jīng)常會帶來現(xiàn)場的滑稽情景表演。
See a local band neither of you know
看一場你們聞所未聞的當(dāng)?shù)貥逢牭谋硌?br/>
It's common knowledge that including anything rock 'n' roll on your date makes you look cooler. And if the performance fits your taste, great. If not, research shows people develop feelings for each other more quickly when they have a mutual dislike in common. So it's a win-win.
眾所周知，一旦約會中加入了搖滾元素，就會讓你看起來更酷；如果表演恰好正合你們的口味，那就更棒了。而研究表明，即使演出不合口味，兩個人的感情也會因為共同的不喜歡而迅速升溫。所以這是個雙贏的好點子。
Be bookworms
做個書蟲
Hit up the library or a bookstore. Show each other your favorite books from your childhood. Read some of your all-time favorite passages. It's the best way to learn about your partner's interests.
逛逛圖書館或者書店。兩個人互相給對方介紹從兒時起自己最喜歡的書籍；讀讀那些一直以來你最愛的段落。這是了解你另一半興趣的最好方式。
Cozy indoor dates
舒適的室內(nèi)約會
Stage your own film festival
辦一場自己的“電影節(jié)”
It's cliché to watch a film at a cinema, and who hasn't already had a movie marathon at home? Why not make a standard movie night a little more interesting by adding a theme to the mix: favorite movie couple, favorite movie that's so bad it's good, scariest movie ever made ... you get the idea. Each of you picks your top contender, and then you can flip for who goes first.
去電影院看電影早就沒創(chuàng)意了，而且誰還沒在家里“跑”過電影馬拉松呢？你還可以給千篇一律的電影之夜加一個主題，讓它變得更有趣：比如“最喜愛銀幕情侶的電影”，“權(quán)把壞片當(dāng)好片的最喜愛電影”，以及“史上最嚇人電影”等等，不管怎樣，主題都由你們自己定。兩個人都挑出自己的“最佳私藏”，然后一決高下看看誰的更勝一籌。
Comfort cooking
舒服地做頓佳肴
Cold weather calls for comfort food and, luckily, making soup can be a great date idea that doesn't require much culinary skill. Make the soup from scratch or buy a bunch of frozen beans, corn and carrots and other veggies, and dump them in the pot. Either way, you'll have something to do together that's not too challenging, and a lovely soup dinner to look forward to.
寒冷的天氣需要美食的慰藉，幸運的是，煲湯這個極佳的約會點子對烹飪技巧的要求并不高。你們可以從洗菜開始，也可以買一堆速凍的豆子、玉米、胡蘿卜以及其他蔬菜，然后將其一股腦倒進(jìn)鍋里。不管怎么樣，你們總算有了一件可以一起做的事，而且難度系數(shù)不高，還有一頓甜蜜的熱湯晚餐可以期待。
