宅神们周末可以做的20件利人利己之事

11. Go To a Tea House
去茶馆坐坐 Change it up a bit and instead of going for the coffeehouse, look for the tea house. You can sample different teas, try tea in loose leaf form or try out unusual herbal blends from all over the world.
与其去咖啡馆，不如改去茶馆吧。在茶馆，你可以品尝各种各样的茶，比如飘逸的叶茶，或来自异域的混合花草茶。

12. Listen to Music at a Local Pub
去本地酒吧听音乐 Many bars and pubs feature local and regional artists throughout the week. Listen to a band you’ve never heard before. You never know. They just might become the next big thing, and you can say you saw them first.
许多酒吧在周末会有当地艺术家驻场。尝试听听不知名的乐队演奏，说不定这些乐队哪天会大红大紫，而你还是一早就知道他们的呢！

13. Run a 5K
5千米长跑 Running in a 5K is a great way to get in shape. Often, you can participate for charity or just for fun. Either way, recruit your friends or have them cheer you on. There are even 5K’s that are kid-friendly.
5千米长跑对保持体形很有帮助。你可以加入慈善机构组织的长跑活动，或自己跑着玩儿。还有，别忘了让朋友给你加油鼓劲。另外，有些长跑运动甚至也适合小孩呢。

14. Go On an Art Walk
享受一场艺术之旅 If there is an arts district in your area, you can visit lots of artist studios and see them in action. Arts districts often have once-monthly art walks where you can talk to artists, and purchase artwork right from their studios.
如果当地有艺术区，何不去艺术家工作室了解他们的工作呢？艺术区通常每月都会举办活动，你可以近距离对话艺术家，还能直接从工作室购买艺术品。

15. Visit the Animal Shelter and Walk a Dog
拜访动物收容所，帮忙遛狗。 No need to adopt (unless you want to). Visit your local shelter and let a canine friend get a little exercise and fresh air by taking him on a walk. It’s not only good for the dog, it’s good for you, too.
你不一定非得领养动物（除非你愿意），但可以去动物收容所照顾宠物朋友，带着狗狗到处溜溜，呼吸一点新鲜空气。这不仅帮助了狗狗，也会让你有所收获。

16. Go Consignment Shopping
在寄售店购物 If you haven’t tried this, you’re missing out. You can find real treasures at consignment shops. Items are often new, if not gently used. You can also score nice clothes or shoes for a fraction of their original cost.
要是你从没尝试过这个，那可太遗憾了。在寄售店，你或许能找到货真价实的宝贝。这里的物品都比较新，你能淘到既物美又价廉的好东西。

17. Shop Garage Sales
商店库存促销时扫货 Check your local listings and set up a route to hit a lot of garage sales in one day. This is a great opportunity to find furniture, household items and stylish clothes at incredible prices.
先看看哪些商家有促销活动，定好路线攻略，然后就集中扫货去吧。促销时能买到不少便宜的家具、家用物件或漂亮衣服。

18. Head to the Farmer’s Market
参观农场 Meet local farmers and see where your food comes from. Many markets have music, local honey, baked goods, whimsical gifts, and a great opportunity to meet new people.
去本地农场了解各种农作物。许多农贸市场都有音乐、自酿蜂蜜、烘焙食品以及不错的礼品，而且，你还能在那里结识新朋友。

19. Attend a Poetry Reading at the Local Bookstore
参加本地书店的读诗会 Bookstores often have poetry readings; you can participate, too! Not only that, they might have local authors read an excerpt from their most recent novel. Grab some coffee, find a comfy chair, and prepare for a night of literary fun!
书店一般都有读诗会，而且向所有人开放。不仅如此，或许你还能碰上本地作家朗读自己的近作片段呢。捧一杯咖啡，蜷在舒服的椅子里，经历一场曼妙的文学之旅吧！

20. Go see a Play at the Local College
去本地大学看场戏剧 Students and professional actors alike put on theatrical performances throughout the year. Catch a matinee or bring a blanket and watch the sunset showing of Romeo and Juliet.
学生和专业演员同样热衷于演戏。你可以趁午场或晚场时（别忘了带毯子）去看看《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。

Have Fun!
好好玩一玩吧！

With this list of ideas, you’re sure to have plenty to do for a weekend of spontaneity, fun, and relaxation. You might learn a few things, see a play you’ve never seen, but you definitely won’t be bored.
可做的事情这么多，相信你的周末肯定会过得轻松又开心。而且说不定你还能学到新东西，比如看一场好玩的话剧，总之你肯定不会无聊的。
