夏季約會進行時：20個夏日浪漫約會建議
There’s something so romantic about summertime. The warm summer breeze, the smell of flowers and cut grass, the sounds of fun and laughter, summer has a wonderful sense of casual lightness. It’s a great time to get out of the dating rut and dust off your playful side. Whether it’s a first date or a date night with a long-time partner, it’s always fun to try out some new date ideas. Summer offers many dating options that aren’t available at other times of the year…and best of all, many of them won’t break the bank.
夏天到處都充滿着浪漫的氣息：夏季那溫暖的和風，那鮮花和草坪修剪過後的味道，還少不了那歡聲笑語。夏天就是有一種休閒輕盈的奇妙感覺。夏天也是一個外出約會、重溫歡樂的最好時間。無論是你第一次約會或想與交往已久的男（女）朋友共度溫馨夜晚，嘗試一下新的約會方式，這樣會讓雙方都很開心回味無窮。在夏天，你可以擁有許許多多的約會方式，這是其它季節不能與之相比的。最好的是，這些約會建議還不需要花費過多金錢。

還在找夏日浪漫的約會建議？那就在下面建議中選一個吧！
1. Outdoor movie - Drive-Ins are making a comeback. Seek out your nearest drive-in and pack the snacks.
露天電影——汽車露天影院正在慢慢迴歸。去找找最近的露天影院，然後掃一堆零食過去邊看邊吃。
2. Pull up a blanket - No drive-in nearby or just not your thing? That’s ok. Many cities show outdoor films in the park. Don’t forget your blanket and refreshments. Or do it yourself – set up your lounge chairs in your backyard or on your deck, open a bottle of wine and watch a movie on your laptop.
準備一張毯子——附近沒有露天影院，或是不是你的菜？沒關係，那你可以找一些城市裏面播放戶外電影的公園。別忘了要帶毯子和飲料。或者自己做一個戶外影院：坐在後院的躺椅或陽臺上，開一瓶紅酒，把手提電腦放在膝上，然後看電影吧。
3. Bowling is so old school that it’s hip again - Just about everybody has a bowling alley somewhere nearby. It’s a casual, fun date night. Invite some friends and make it a group date. Have a beer or soda and a slice of pizza and unwind while engaging in some friendly competition.
古老而又“新穎”的方式：打保齡——幾乎每個人的附近都有一家保齡球館。打保齡會讓你的約會之夜即休閒又有趣。可以多叫一些朋友，讓這個夜晚變爲“情侶團體約會之夜”吧。和朋友們進行保齡比賽的同時，喝瓶啤酒（或蘇打水）吃塊批薩，是多麼舒適啊。
4. Visit the zoo - You don’t have to have young children to enjoy the zoo. Wandering among the animals, taking in their habitats and behavior, even their antics is a great low-key date. Top it off with some popcorn or an ice cream cone and it’s a fantastic date.
逛動物園——並不是只有帶着小朋友才能去動物園的。其實徜徉在不同動物的圍繞中，觀察它們的行爲習慣，甚至看它們做滑稽動作，也不失爲一個即不錯又低調的約會。更讓人開心的是，逛動物園的同時還吃着爆米花和雪糕，這種約會實在太好了。
5. Take a wine tour - Either join an organized wine tour, where someone else will do the planning and take you from winery to winery to do your sipping or plan your own, grab another couple and a designated driver and let the tasting begin.
紅酒之旅——參加一個紅酒之旅旅行團，旅行社的人會給你做好安排，帶你從一個釀酒廠到另一個釀酒廠，期間你們還可以暢飲葡萄酒。或者你們自己計劃安排紅酒之旅，另外抓上另一對情侶，找一個專門的司機，那麼，紅酒暢飲之旅就可以開始了。
6. Go on a dinner cruise - If you live near a body of water (ocean, lake or even some rivers) you can probably find a dinner cruise. Don’t be afraid to mix it up; try a breakfast, lunch, or evening cocktail cruise too. There’s just something so romantic about eating on the water while someone else is in charge of the driving.
船上餐會——如果你家附近有大海、湖泊或是小河，那麼，你就可以和你的伴侶來一個“船上約會”。不必擔心狀況會混亂，早餐、午餐甚至一個雞尾酒小會都能在船上搞定。有專門的船伕掌舵，而你們就可以在水上享受美味和浪漫啦。
7. Live music is everywhere - Summer concerts are a great way to spend a date. Get tickets to a big-ticket concert in the grandstand; enjoy a local concert in the park, or find a local bar or tavern that offers live music.
無處不在的現場音樂會——夏季音樂會是一個浪漫約會的好去處。你可以弄看臺票去看大型音樂會，或是在公園裏欣賞小型音樂會，亦或是在當地的酒吧欣賞樂隊的表演。
8. Visit the fair - Be a teenager again. Buy some cotton candy or some terribly unhealthy, but delicious fair treat. Ride the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, or whatever twirling, upside down ride strikes your fancy, (preferably, before you eat your cotton candy.)
參加遊園活動——你可以再一次成爲小朋友：去買一些棉花糖，或是買一些非常不健康但很美味的小甜品。坐上摩天輪，玩一遍過山車，或是坐上那些讓你到處旋轉上下顛倒、還弄得你頭昏腦脹的遊園項目（建議在遊玩這些項目前最好別吃棉花糖）。
9. Make a romantic picnic - Pack up your favorite picnic fare and a blanket and off you go. Bring some wine and cheese or pack a themed menu – think Mexican, French, Italian or whatever cuisine suits your mood. Choose a nice spot at the local park, gardens, or by the water. To make it even more fun, try a breakfast or moonlight picnic (be sure to pack the bug spray.)
浪漫的野餐——帶上你最喜歡吃的食物和毯子，你們就可以出發野餐去了。然後，要帶一些紅酒和芝士，或者弄一個主題菜譜——可以是墨西哥式、法式、意大利式，合你口味就可以了。你的野餐地點可以選擇在當地的公園、花園或是小河旁。如果要讓野餐更過癮，那你們可以嘗試早餐或月光下的野餐（要記得帶殺蟲劑哦）。
10. Get out on the water - Rent a sailboat, rowboat, paddleboat, kayak, or canoe. Grab a pole and go fishing or don your swimsuit and jump in.
水上約會活動——你可以租一艘帆船，皮划艇，划艇，皮艇，或獨木舟。有了船，你可以划船和釣魚，或是穿上泳衣潛水去。11. Play tourist - See your town from a visitor’s perspective. Visit your local tourism office or chamber of commerce for information on events, festivals, and local sights you may never have thought of.
遊客角色扮演——以一個觀光者的角度去看看自己所在的城市。你可以去當地的旅遊公司和商會了解一些你從未想過的活動、節日和當地景點的信息。
12. Go camping - Pitch a tent (you can borrow or rent one if you don’t have your own, grab a couple of sleeping bags, pack your food and necessities and sleep under the stars. Being away from the rest of the bustling world allows time to really pay attention and enjoy being with another person.
露營——紮好營（如果你沒有自己的帳篷，你可以去租一個），拿兩個睡袋，將食物和必需品打包起來，之後你就可以睡着看星星了。這樣你就可以遠離繁華都市，停下來矚目這個星空，並享受着和你的伴侶一起度過的時間。
13. Outdoor Theater - Attend an outdoor performance or live play. Think Shakespeare in the park or attend an outdoor symphony or music festivals. Theater is so much more fun and relaxed under the canopy of the sky than in a stuffy theater.
露天劇場——參加一個露天的現場表演吧。在公園裏與莎士比亞同在，或是欣賞那戶外交響樂，或是在搖滾節中狂歡。與室內劇場相比，露天劇場樂趣多多，同時能讓你在藍天下更休閒放鬆。
14. Produce can be romantic - Spend a morning wandering a farmers’ market checking out the fresh local produce or spend the afternoon at a “U-pick” farm picking berries or other delectable, then bring your ingredients home and cook something fabulous with your date.
自給自足也是一種浪漫——花一個早上，在農貿市場中淘一些當地的新鮮農產品，或是用一個下午的時間，去一個自助農場中，摘取新鮮的草莓和其它美味的水果，把這些原料帶回家和對方精心烹飪吧。
15. Take me out to the ballgame - Visit your local ballpark or stadium. If you’re lucky enough to have a pro or semi-pro team near you, a ball game can be a fun date. Even with a $6 hotdog and $5 soda, it’s still a cheap date. For an even more low-key (and free) option, visit a local ball field and watch local kids (or grown “Kids”) play their hearts out.
看球賽——去附近的棒球場和露天運動場。假如你家附近有一支職業的或半職業的球隊，那麼，看球賽也算是一場不錯的約會。即使你看球賽時買了6美元的熱狗和5美元的蘇打水，這仍然是一個廉價的約會。還有一個更爲低廉（甚至免費）的約會選項：去當地的球場，觀看小朋友們（或成年的“大孩子們”）用心地玩比賽。
16. Go the natural route - Visit the nearest state park. Pack a picnic. Ride bikes. Go on a hike. Walk the nature trails. Play Frisbee golf. Bird watch. Look for wildlife tracks. Try geocaching. Play photographer.
自然觀光路線——參觀比較近的國家公園。在野外，你可以去野餐、騎自行車、徒步遠足、走自然路線、玩飛盤高爾夫、觀察鳥類，甚至還能尋找野生動物留下的痕跡，還能尋尋寶，攝影野外風光。
17. Resurrect some old favorite summer activities - Play mini-golf. Go to the batting cage. Race go-karts. Fly kites.
重溫以前喜愛的夏天活動——打迷你高爾夫，玩籠球，開卡丁車，放風箏。
18. Take a tour - Take a walking tour, a boat tour, a bicycle tour,an architectural tour old buildings or a “gourmet eating” tour.
旅遊——步行旅遊，遊船旅遊，自行車旅遊，古舊建築旅遊，或者來一趟美食之旅也不錯。
19. Visit the aquarium - Aquariums aren’t just for kids and field trips. They’re also a great date option. Wander through the tanks, taking in the underwater life, but watch out for the sharks!
參觀水族館——水族館並不僅僅是小孩子玩耍和學生的實習考察之地——它還是一個情侶約會的好去處。在水族箱之間漫步，感受那水下世界，但要小心那到處遊蕩的鯊魚啊！
20. Take a mystery trip - Buy or download a map of your region, close your eyes, and randomly choose spots on the map to visit. Plan a day trip or weekend getaway to one or several and explore.
來一趟神祕之旅——購買或者下載一份地圖，然後閉上眼睛，在地圖上隨意標記一個地方，之後就去這個地方旅行。爲這個地方計劃好一天旅行或週末之旅，那麼探險開始了。
