致我们终将逝去的青春:25岁前一定要尝试的25件事
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。
11. Like Yourself.
喜欢自己
The teen years are for exploring who you are, what you like, and how you tick. Now its time to embrace who you are: be proud of the unique self you have become.
经过了那个“探索自我”的青少年时期,你已明白自己的个性、爱好及特点。现在是拥抱自己的时刻了,请为那个独一无二的自己感到骄傲吧。
12. Practice Being Charitable.
做些善事
Giving is more rewarding than receiving. Consider volunteering at a home for the elderly, or donating a percentage of earnings to a charity that you feel is important. Something as simple as smiling more and being more friendly to the people in your life and strangers that you come across can make a big difference to both you and them.
付出比接受更有益。你可以考虑去敬老院当志愿者,或将收入的一部分捐出去、用在你认为很重要的地方。对周围的人和陌生人微笑、表示友好,即使是这样的小事,有时对你们双方而言都意义重大。
13. Let the Grudge Go.
放下心中的不满
Holding resentment does more damage to you than anyone else. Let it go. Use your energy for more healthy pursuits.
郁郁寡欢对自己的伤害最大,不如勇敢地放下。将自己的能量多用在更为健康的追求上吧。
14. Go on a Blind Date.
去参加一次相亲
The excitement, the worry, the unknown outcome—who knows what may come of it? A blind date makes for a great story to tell friends, a learning experience and maybe even a great love.
那种激动、担忧、和不确定感——会是谁来和我约会?相亲的经历能让你日后与朋友多了份谈资,也能让你学到东西,甚至——可能会因此成就一段姻缘。
15. Exercise.
锻炼身体
Your body is not 18 anymore. All bodies age, and the punishment you might have applied to it in your teens and early twenties by excessive studying, partying, and having a chaotic lifestyle will not be so easy to recover from as you get older.
你的身体已经不是18岁了。所有的身体都会衰老,你年轻时在拼命学习、派对享乐及过着嘈杂生活所欠下来的债,都得还。你现在的身体自愈能力,已远远不如从前啦。
16. Learn to Cook
学会做饭
Learning to cook, if you haven’t already, can be fun, good for your health, and your bank balance. Trying new recipes and developing a repertoire of easy, simple and healthy meals is a great start.
假如你原来什么菜都不会做,那么学习做饭的过程绝对能给你带来乐趣、让你吃得更健康、同时也帮你省钱。试试那些新式菜谱,并发掘出自己专属的方便、健康又简单的保留菜——这绝对是个好开始。
