Fun activities to share
分享有趣的活动
Visit the deep sea
参观海底世界
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，也不要把夏天统统抛在脑后。参观水族馆就像开启了一场颇具异域风情的冒险之旅。昏暗的灯光与梦幻般的海景都让海洋馆成为浪漫之地。
Go to improve
看一场即兴表演
Watching comedy is a fun way to get away from the cold and bond over cheap laughs. In small improvtroupes, comedians are given ridiculous scenarios to act out on the spot.
看场喜剧表演也是个摆脱寒冷的不错选择：两个人一起因为一些没深度的笑话而捧腹，彼此间的距离也因此变得亲密。在一些小型即兴表演剧团里，喜剧演员们经常会带来现场的滑稽情景表演。
See a local band neither of you know
看一场你闻所未闻的当地乐队的表演
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.
众所周知，一旦约会中加入了摇滚元素，就会让你看起来更酷;如果表演恰好正合你们的口味，那就更棒了。而研究表明，即使演出不合口味，两个人的感情也会因为共同的不喜欢而迅速升温。所以这是个双赢的好点子。
Be bookworms
做个书虫
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.
逛逛图书馆或者书店。两个人互相给对方介绍从儿时起自己最喜欢的书籍;读读那些一直以来你的段落。这是了解你另一半兴趣的方式。
Cozy indoor dates
舒适的室内约会
Stage your own film festival
办一场自己的“电影节”
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.
去电影院看电影早就没创意了，而且谁还没在家里“跑”过电影马拉松呢?你还可以给千篇一律的电影之夜加一个主题，让它变得更有趣：比如“最喜爱银幕情侣的电影”，“权把坏片当好片的最喜爱电影”，以及“史上最吓人电影”等等，不管怎样，主题都由你们自己定。两个人都挑出自己的“私藏”，然后一决高下看看谁的更胜一筹。
Comfort cooking
舒服地做顿佳肴
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.
寒冷的天气需要美食的慰藉，幸运的是，煲汤这个的约会点子对烹饪技巧的要求并不高。你们可以从洗菜开始，也可以买一堆速冻的豆子、玉米、胡萝卜以及其他蔬菜，然后将其一股脑倒进锅里。不管怎么样，你们总算有了一件可以一起做的事，而且难度系数不高，还有一顿甜蜜的热汤晚餐可以期待。
