1. Go to a Music Festival.
去听一次演唱会
See your favourite bands play live; experience the atmosphere, the fashions and the micro-culture of life in a large field with a crowd of people all there to enjoy the experience.
去听最爱的乐队现场吧。感受那种气氛、那种时尚、那种小众的文化,在广阔的场地上,和大伙儿们一起享受其中。
2. Buy Dinner for Your Parents.
请父母吃顿饭
Your parents may have been been funding your life for years, so now you can experience the joy of repaying their kindness, love, and responsibility, and of developing an adult relationship with them. Taking them out for dinner, and picking up the bill, is one of the ways of doing this.
你的父母也许已资助你生活了许多年,所以现在是该对他们的善意、爱、责任进行甜蜜回报的时候了。同时,这也是与他们建立成年人间的关系的时刻。带他们出去吃顿好的,你来买单——这绝对是个好主意。
3. Travel to Another Continent
出国旅行
Travelling, with the exposure to different climes, cultures, and peoples, broadens the mind, helps develop life skills, and makes for more open attitudes and tolerance. However open-minded you are, there’s nothing like experiencing a different way of life firsthand. It also furnishes you with some great dinner party stories!
旅行意味着体验别种气候、文化和人民,能拓宽视野、帮你学习新的生存技巧,及磨练你的态度及耐心。无论你是否思想开放,没什么比去尝试一种全新生活更棒的体验方式了。更不用说,一次旅行能给你增加许多在派对上的谈资哟!
4. Try an Adrenaline Sport.
尝试一种刺激的运动
You could try sky diving, white water rafting or bungee jumping. Pushing your comfort zone and trying something like this may terrify you, but you’ll feel immensely proud of overcoming your fear.
比如跳伞、漂流或蹦极!也许这些把你推出舒适区的运动让你觉得有些恐惧,但很快你将为自己的突破而感到自豪无比!
5. Spend the Whole Weekend Partying.
来个没日没夜的周末大派对
Doing an “all weekender” can be more difficult as you get older and have more responsibilities—it’s a great experience to try!
年纪越大、责任越多,从而“没日没夜地玩”就变成了件很难实现的事。但这非常值得一试!
6. Have a Good Conversation with Someone of a Different Faith or Belief to Your Own.
和与你信仰不同的人好好聊聊天
Conversations like this helps us realise we’re not so different to other people, regardless of appearances.
这样的聊天能让我们意识到:无论表象如何,我们与别人其实并没有不同。
7. Vote.
去投票
Have your say on how your home country is run. We really can’t complain if we have the democratic right to express our views, but don’t do so.
我的祖国应该怎样治理?你有发言权。拥有发表意见的民主权,不失为一种幸福,珍惜吧。
8. Dye Your Hair a Completely Different Colour.
把头发染成以前从没尝试过的颜色
Or change your hairstyle. One change that can make you feel like a different person.
或者彻底改变发型。一个小小的改变,会让你觉得自己焕然一新!
9. Go to a Gay / Lesbian Club or Bar.
去同性恋吧看看
Or join in with a Pride parade/festival. If you’re gay, you could hang out at a straight bar.
或者参加一次同性恋大游行。如果你本来就是同性恋,那就去异性恋吧玩玩吧。
10. Let Go of a Friendship.
勇敢放弃一段友情
Not all friendships are meant to last forever; some come into our lives and exist for different reasons at different times in our life. Holding on to a relationship that has run its course doesn’t do either of you any favours. Quality rather than quantity of friends is the important factor.
并不是每段友谊都会永久。一些人进入了我们的生活后,因为不同的原因,会在不同的时间里,从我们的生命中消失。明明感情在消逝却死死抓住不放,对你们双方而言都没有好处。友情的质量是最重要的,而非数量。
