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)人都被當前的經濟衰退影響(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的方法，去做每一件事，不論是食品雜貨店購物還是外出就餐約會。

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算中，這就產生了個問題：我們中許多人并不是那么有創(chuàng)意(舉手贊同)來努力想出約會的新方式。但是，即便我們的錢包在縮水，約會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大約會創(chuàng)意，保證精彩又實惠。

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，而是與那個特殊的人一起在戶外，坐在毯子上分享一桶雞肉，真正做點特別的事情。

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，國內大多數(shù)地區(qū)還很寒冷，或許目前不能選擇去野餐了。但是可以帶上一壺熱巧克力去溜冰。

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。別忘了帶上那壺熱巧克力哦!

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。 花一點錢或是免費就能微醺地徜徉在各式當時美酒的酒香中，再沒有比這更美好的感覺了。

5. Hit the flea market. There's a lot of fun to be had sorting through the treasures (and garbage!) that people sell at the flea market. It's a great place to bond。

逛跳蚤市場。挑選人們在跳蚤市場出售的寶貝(還有廢物!)是非常有趣的。這是增進互信關系的絕好地方。

6. Go to the carnival. Yeah, I know, you're not 12 anymore, but riding that Ferris Wheel can bring you back to your childhood。

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

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。去影院看電影已經變得越來越貴了。因此何不準備一些爆米花，蜷坐在沙發(fā)上來個電影馬拉松?

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。

路邊投幣停車。這樣停車比較便宜，記得多準備些硬幣哦。

7. Premium、Plus or Regular。

關于加油，常常分為這三種，高級、性能較佳和一般。

欣賞一場當?shù)氐囊魳窌�。在許多城市都有當?shù)氐臉逢�，他們在臨時的地下酒吧或者咖啡館表演。那里充滿了無限的激情。

9. Catch some coffee. There's nothing more romantic than curling up together at one of those coffee shops, people watching, while sharing a couple of cups of coffee。

品咖啡。沒有什么比你們在咖啡館里蜷坐在一起，觀察著周圍的人，品嘗幾杯咖啡更浪漫的了。

10. Cook a romantic meal ... together.Bonding in the kitchen can be loads of fun -- and an inexpensive way to have an amazing dinner。

共同烹制浪漫的一餐。一起膩在廚房里也是樂趣無窮，這也是少花錢而享受一頓豐盛晚餐的方法。
