Most of us have been hit by the current economic downturn (and if you haven't, *high five*), which means that finding new and more inexpensive ways to do things is imperative for everything from grocery shopping to dining out to dates.
我們大多數(shù)人都被當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退影響（如果你并非如此，擊掌慶祝吧），這就意味著，需要尋找一些新奇且更平價(jià)的方法，去做每一件事，不論是食品雜貨店購(gòu)物還是外出就餐約會(huì)。

That leaves a lot of us who aren't as creative (raises hand) to try and figure out new ways to go on dates, given that the 800 million dollar steak dinner is probably not exactly in our budget anymore. But there's no reason a date can't be as awesome (or more so) even if our wallets are lighter.
考慮到8億美元的牛排晚餐大概根本不在我們的預(yù)算中，這就產(chǎn)生了個(gè)問題：我們中許多人并不是那么有創(chuàng)意（舉手贊同）來努力想出約會(huì)的新方式。但是，即便我們的錢包在縮水，約會(huì)也未必不能是精彩非常的。

Here are 10 awesome and inexpensive date ideas.
以下是情人節(jié)10大約會(huì)創(chuàng)意，保證精彩又實(shí)惠。

1. Pack a picnic. Sure, it's not an 8-course meal at the best steakhouse in the city, but there's something really special about sitting outside and sharing a bucket of chicken on a blanket with that special someone.
去野餐。當(dāng)然，這不是指在城市里最好的牛排餐廳吃上八道菜的大餐，而是與那個(gè)特殊的人一起在戶外，坐在毯子上分享一桶雞肉，真正做點(diǎn)特別的事情。

2. Go ice skating. It's winter and cold in most of the country right now, and a picnic may not be an option at the moment. Instead, pack a thermos of hot chocolate and hit the rink.
去溜冰。正值隆冬，國(guó)內(nèi)大多數(shù)地區(qū)還很寒冷，或許目前不能選擇去野餐了。但是可以帶上一壺?zé)崆煽肆θチ锉?/div>

3. Go sledding. If you're too klutzy to manage ice skating (like me!) sledding can be equally fun and romantic. Just be sure to pack that thermos of hot chocolate!
滑雪橇。如果你太笨拙，不會(huì)溜冰（就像我一樣?。?，滑雪橇也同樣充滿了樂趣和浪漫。別忘了帶上那壺?zé)崆煽肆ε叮?/div>

4. Take a winery tour. There's nothing like getting tipsy for little or no money while bonding over the tastes of various local wines.
參觀釀酒廠。 花一點(diǎn)錢或是免費(fèi)就能微醺地徜徉在各式當(dāng)時(shí)美酒的酒香中，再?zèng)]有比這更美好的感覺了。

逛跳蚤市場(chǎng)。挑選人們?cè)谔槭袌?chǎng)出售的寶貝（還有廢物?。┦欠浅Ｓ腥さ?。這是增進(jìn)互信關(guān)系的絕好地方。

參加狂歡節(jié)。是的，我知道，你已不是12歲了，但是摩天輪會(huì)將你帶回童年的記憶當(dāng)中。

7. Movie night. Going to the movies has become increasingly expensive. So why not pop some popcorn and curl up on the couch for a movie marathon?
看通宵電影。去影院看電影已經(jīng)變得越來越貴了。因此何不準(zhǔn)備一些爆米花，蜷坐在沙發(fā)上來個(gè)電影馬拉松？

8. Hit up a local concert. Most cities have local bands that play at the odd dive bar or coffee shop. There's tons of great energy there.
欣賞一場(chǎng)當(dāng)?shù)氐囊魳窌?huì)。在許多城市都有當(dāng)?shù)氐臉逢?duì)，他們?cè)谂R時(shí)的地下酒吧或者咖啡館表演。那里充滿了無限的激情。
