学点新东西:10种你可以尝试的兴趣爱好

1. Hiking
徒步旅行

All you need is the great outdoors. Well, you need that and some quality clothes of course! When you go hiking, it’s important to get hiking boots that are fitted correctly so that you can avoid blisters and unnecessary foot pain. If you are hiking and camping on the same trip, that will get more expensive since you will likely have to purchase a tent and other supplies. However, if you just want to hike, you can spend less than $100.00 for a nice pair of hiking boots. Oh, and don’t forget to look on the ground for an excellent free hiking stick!
你只需有好玩的户外去处,再备上几件适合的衣物就行了!徒步旅行少不了合脚的登山鞋,以免脚疼起泡。如果你还打算在一趟旅行中既徒步又露营,开销或许会大一点:你得准备帐篷等设备。不过如果单单是徒步旅行,买一双好鞋绝不会超过100美元。当然,买鞋时别忘了看看能不能免费获赠远足拐杖哦!

2. Blogging
写博客

Blogging is an awesome hobby to have that might also transform into part-time income some day. All you need is a few dollars to buy your domain name and hosting. For less than $100, you can start off with a smaller site and only spend more for hosting as your site grows. Also, it’s completely free to market your blog on social media and make new friends at the same time.
写博不仅很有意思,而且说不定还能赚取业余收入呢。你只需花几块钱(不到100美元)购买域名和托管,就可以建立一个小网站,然后慢慢经营就行了。而且,在社交媒体上推广你的博客并结交新朋友是不花一分钱的。

3. Reading
阅读

Reading is such an easy (and often free!) hobby. Whether you love the newspaper or your e-reader, this is quite possibly the best hobby for improving your brain. Reading can actually be 100% free if you’re devoted to your local library.
阅读是非常容易(通常还免费)的爱好。不论是看报纸还是读电子书,都能很好地充实头脑。而且,去当地图书馆阅读可以100%免费哦!

$200 or Less
少于200美元的兴趣爱好

4. Tennis
打网球

Tennis is one of those sports that can either be very inexpensive or very costly depending on how much time you want to devote to it. If you just want to hit a ball with a friend, all you need to purchase is a racket and tennis balls. However, if you really, truly want to make this a hobby for the long term, investing in some instruction is a wise idea.
看你愿意花多少精力吧,打网球既可以很便宜有可能很昂贵。如果只是平时和朋友打,只要买副球拍和几个网球就行了;要是真想把打网球当作长期爱好,那还是建议多投资些:可以找教练来指导下。

5. Scrapbooking
剪贴簿

Anyone who loves scrapbooking can tell you that it can get costly. However, with a little self control, you can make absolutely gorgeous scrapbooks for your friends and family for under $200 a year. Remember to search for supplies on places like eBay and resell the ones you aren’t using to get back some of your investment.
喜欢剪贴簿的人一般都会说这很花钱。其实,稍加控制的话,一年花不到200美元,就能为朋友家人制作精美的剪贴簿了。你可以去eBay这样的地方搜索材料,还可以把你不用的剪贴簿转卖,找回点投资。
