单身的你如果过好浪漫的情人节?

2010-02-02来源:和谐英语

Single on Valentines Day? Well, VideoJug shows you how to survive on the most romantic of days if you are all alone. Learn how to celebrate your single status on valentines day- you might even fin your own true love!

哈哈,又是一个单身情人节?不要紧,单身也可以度过这个最浪漫的一天。现在小编就教你几招,说不定这个情人节就是你遇到命中注定的那个TA的时刻啦。

Step 1: Don't mope
第一步:不要闷闷不乐

Walking around with a face like a wet weekend and crying into your coffee will make you feel worse. Do you really want other peoples smug sympathy as they discuss their romantic, over priced dinner plans? No. Feeling sorry for yourself is not the way to go; unless you want to look like a complete loser.

挂着一个囧字到处游走,喝咖啡掉眼泪的同时只会让你感觉更糟。你真想让其他人在美味大餐前讨论甜蜜爱情的时候留给你那些沾沾自喜的同情吗?当然不要啊!可怜自己只是一个完全失败者的表现。

Step 2: Don't be a cynic
第二部:不要愤世嫉俗

It may be easy to sneer at the brash commercialism of Valentines day - especially when you will be bombarded with cheap adverts for the preceding two weeks, but don't. Not only will you be spoiling other peoples fun but it will look like sour grapes. It may be fun, but avoid pointing out they are paying through the nose for cheap useless tat and that St Valentine himself was actually murdered on this day. You will only feel better for a moment or two.

虽然鄙视那些自以为是的情人节广告会比较容易,特别是那种轰炸时间连续长达两周的廉价广告,没有必要啦。这不仅会让你孤立于人群之外,大家只会认为你是吃不到葡萄的那个。这可能会感觉好玩,不过千万不要太直白的指出广告产品的劣根性,还有圣瓦伦丁先生其实是在这一天被杀害,这些只能给你带来暂时的快感。

Step 3: Ignore it
第三步:让它烂漫去吧

Treat the day just like any other. Although you may have to avoid listening to the radio or watching TV which will be swamped with slushy programmes. Take yourself off to the cinema instead - just make sure its not a romantic movie.

把这一天当做最平常的一天来对待,虽然你不得不躲过收音机和电视机节目中那些情意绵绵的对白。把自己塞入电影院吧,只要不是爱情片就搞定!

Step 4: Cheat
第四步:神秘情人节

Send yourself a card to your work address signed from 'Your Secret Valentine'. Or even better, send a few. And chocolates and roses. When asked who sent them just give a knowing smile. The expense will be well worth it, and you get to enjoy the chocs and flowers yourself.

记一张情人节卡片,地址栏写上公司;更好的方法的送上一摞,再加上巧克力和玫瑰。当人家问你是谁送的时,只要回以一个会意的微笑。这可是一个非常棒的方式,最后你将会享用美味的情人节巧克力和美丽的鲜花。

Step 5: Celebrate your singleness
第五步:庆祝单身

Spend the day being thankful for being single and not feeling obliged to send someone a tacky teddy bear carrying a heart. Get your other single friends together and have a raucous fun night out. Many clubs now specialise in single Valentine's nights -so make the most of it and play the field.

这天你应该为单身而倍感感激,当然啦,没有送给TA一只心形泰迪熊的责任在身。集合所有光棍朋友一起度过这个华丽喧闹的夜晚吧。许多酒吧现在已有专设“单身情人节夜”派队——准备就绪,立刻上场吧!

Step 6: Take a holiday
第六步:放个大假

Valentine's day is only celebrated on February the 14th in certain countries. A bit of winter sun may be just what you need.

在有的国度,情人节只在2月14日庆祝。给自己放假享受一下冬天的阳光吧!
