Despite the fact that we’ve just had Christmas and New Year, the world decided that some of us needed yet another reminder of how sad and alone we are. Enter Valentine’s Day, a faux semi-holiday that was invented to stimulate the sales of the floral, jewelry, chocolate and suicide hotline industries. In case you find yourself partner-free this February 14th, here is some proof that you can totally rock the day, singles style.
盡管我們剛過(guò)了圣誕節(jié)和新年,另外一個(gè)節(jié)日又要提醒我們多么孤獨(dú)悲傷。那就是情人節(jié),人們?cè)O(shè)立了這個(gè)半假日來(lái)增加鮮花、珠寶、巧克力的銷(xiāo)售,自殺熱線(xiàn)產(chǎn)業(yè)也更為火爆。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)沒(méi)有人陪你度過(guò)2月14日這一天,通過(guò)以下單身者的方式你也可以過(guò)得很嗨。
1. Party
1.聚會(huì)
Why sit around wallowing in self pity when you can be out having a good time. If you’re invited to a V-Day party, go. Who cares if it’s going to mostly be couples. You get the chance to drink and eat on somebody else’s dime while observing things going on around you. Perhaps there’ll be some hotties there, or maybe just couples pretending not to be in a fight over inadequate Valentines gifts. Either way, there will be good times! Alternatively, you can throw your own party with an appropriate theme such as “historical couples” or “horror movie characters.”
既然能外出度過(guò)一個(gè)好時(shí)光,又何必閑坐著自我憐憫呢。如果有人邀請(qǐng)你去參加情人節(jié)聚會(huì),那就去吧。誰(shuí)在乎是不是大部分人都和情人一起去的呢。你有機(jī)會(huì)在別處吃喝,觀(guān)察著周?chē)氖虑椤R苍S會(huì)有些美女,也許有些夫妻假裝著并沒(méi)有因?yàn)榍槿斯?jié)禮物不合適而爭(zhēng)吵。不管怎樣,你會(huì)過(guò)得很開(kāi)心的!你也可以給自己的聚會(huì)一個(gè)合適的主題,如“歷史夫妻”、“恐怖電影人物”。
