大學暑假做什麼：快樂一夏五十招（下）

你的大學生活固然充斥着各種壓力山大的課程、論文、實驗報告，當然還有考試，但是也不乏樂趣，你有朋友，參加派對，出去玩，每天都排滿了大大小小的活動，一個接一個好像沒有盡頭。然而到了夏天，這熱鬧忙碌的景象可能一下子就不見了，尤其是如果你不在學校，白天去實習工作。怎麼辦呢?

25. Experiment in the kitchen/Learn to cook. During school, you probably don't have much time to learn how to cook; you just need food, fast. Use some of your summer free time to learn how to cook.

搗騰新菜式/學做菜。在學校裏你可能沒有時間學做菜，你要的只是食物，而且要快。在暑假裏挪一點時間來學做菜吧。

26. Take a knife class. Learning how to properly use a knife in the kitchen is both handyand impressive -- and yet very few people do it correctly. Taking a knife class at a local cooking school will be entertaining and super helpful as you learn to cook for yourself more and more.

學用刀。學學如何正確地用刀既不費勁又記得牢——而且很必要，沒幾個人會正確地用刀。在當地烹飪學校學用刀很有意思，而且在學做菜的過程中也很有用。

27. Get a massage at a massage school. You're a student; you know how important it is to learn by doing. Find a local massage school and help another student learn his or her trade. Added bonus: massage-school massages are usually way cheaper than the regular ones and just as good.

在按摩學校做按摩。作爲一個學生你知道實踐學習多重要。在當地找一家按摩學校，找個學生幫你按，這也能幫他提高技巧。額外好處：按摩學校的按摩服務比按摩店裏便宜多了，而且也不差。

28. Get a funky haircut. You may not even get a haircut while you're away at school. Why not use summer as a time to get a little funky with color or style?

換個時髦的髮型。你不用上學的時候可能都不剪頭髮了。何不趁着暑假去換個潮一點的髮型呢，染一染也是可以的。

29. Go to a museum. Go see some art, plants, science, history, or anything else you find interesting. And make sure to use your student ID for a discount.

逛博物館。去看看藝術、植物、科學、歷史或是隨便什麼你覺得有意思的。記得帶上學生證，可以打折。

30. Go through your old stuff and donate what you don't use or need. Do you have things for 2 lives: your college life and your pre-college life? Someone, somewhere will probably be grateful for all of those sweatshirts and t-shirts you're no longer using.

整理你的舊東西，不用就捐掉。看看你大學前用的東西是不是恍如隔世?有些地方的有些人得到了你不穿的運動衫和T恤會很感激的。

31. Try your hand at creative writing. You can try to write poems, a short story, or even music. You never know what you might come up with when you have the time and freedom to really let your mind explore!

寫點東西練練手。你可以寫詩，編個小故事，甚至創作音樂。有空的時候好好動動腦筋，也許能想出你自己都驚訝的創意。

32. Go to a play. It doesn't have to be Shakespeare but it should be fun. When's the last night you went to the theater -- not for a class -- anyway?

看場戲劇。不一定得是莎士比亞，但得挑個有趣些的。你上次去看戲都是什麼時候了?爲了課程看的不算。

33. Go to a major sports game. Baseball, basketball, soccer -- it doesn't matter. Grab some friends and head to the stadium.

看一場大型體育賽事。棒球、籃球、足球，什麼都行。呼朋喚友去體育場吧。

34. Go to a minor sports game. Things like minor league baseball games can be incredibly fun and much cheaper than the big leagues. See who's around your town and when you can watch 'em play.

看一場小型體育比賽。像是小型俱樂部的棒球比賽也可以很有勁，而且比大型俱樂部的篇便宜多了。看看你們那兒周邊有些什麼小型俱樂部，什麼時候能去看他們比賽。

35. Go to a film festival. Film festivals can be a great way to see new, independent films that you might not otherwise see, and summer is a great time to find a festival that focuses on the kinds of films you like.

去電影節。在電影節上看新片和獨立電影是最好的了，而且別的時候不一定看得着，看看暑假裏有什麼受關注的影片類型是你喜歡的。

36. Go to a concert. Who doesn't like a late-night, all-out, super-fun, big-name concert?

聽一場音樂會。誰不喜歡大牌的演唱會，票房火爆，深夜狂歡?

37. Take a bartending class. It's fun, it's handy, it's a great way to meet people with similar interests. What's not to like?

學調酒。可有意思了，還很容易學，能遇到興趣相投的人，何樂而不爲?

38. Act like a tourist in your own town. If you were in your town on vacation, what would you do? You might surprise yourself by finding new things to do and see.

像遊客一樣逛你的家鄉。如果你留在家鄉過假期，你會做什麼?你可以找些新的樂趣和景緻讓你自己大吃一驚。

39. Go for a bike ride. People seem to ride bikes less and less. But bike rides can be a fun way to get out and get some exercise.

騎自行車。人們好像越來越少騎自行車了，不過騎自行車是很有意思的出行方式，還能鍛鍊身體。

40. Grab some kites, friends, burgers, beers, and a picnic table. With that combo, how can you go wrong?

帶上幾隻風箏，叫上一羣朋友，還有漢堡啤酒野餐桌。絕配，錯不了。

41. Go to a water park. Summer is prime time for water park fun -- as long as you remember the suntan lotion.

去水上樂園。夏天就該去水上樂園——只要你記得帶上防曬霜。

42. Make your own fun "water park day." You don't have to have a water park near you to enjoy yourself. Grab some water balloons, a Slip 'n Slide, a kiddie pool (that can be used for lounging or even, when filled with ice, for storing drinks), some friends, and ahose.

自行炮製歡樂“水上樂園日”。要是周邊沒有水上樂園也一樣能玩得很開心。你只需要一些水球，一個滑滑梯，一個兒童游泳池(可以懶洋洋地躺在裏面，要是裝滿冰還可以用來放飲料)，一根水管，叫上一羣朋友來玩吧。

43. Take a dance class. Feel awkward when you go out clubbing with friends? A dance class can help, even if it's something funky like swing or salsa.

上舞蹈課。和朋友出去混俱樂部總是覺得自己很笨拙?學點舞蹈會好很多，哪怕是古怪的搖擺或莎莎舞也行。

44. Clean up your e-life. Super fun? Probably not. Will you feel better afterward? Most definitely. Dump your old facebook friends, clean up your laptop desktop, and delete old pictures you don't want -- or would hate to get in the wrong hands -- from your camera or phone. A clean e-slate is a great way to start your new year.

清理你的電子生活。很有意思麼?恐怕不是。清理完會好一些麼?必須的。取關臉譜上不聯繫的朋友，清理筆記本電腦桌面，刪除照相機或手機上不想要的舊照片——或是不想給有些人看到的照片。清理了電子垃圾，下一年會有更好的開端。

45. Host your own Iron Chef competition. Gather several friends and divide them into groups. Then, at a certain time one Saturday morning, e-mail out the secret ingredient. Everyone has to report back to, say, your house at 5:00. People will have fun and you'll have dinner on top of it.

舉辦自己的料理大賽。聚集幾個朋友，給他們分組，在週六上午的某個時間給他們發電子郵件，告訴他們神祕食材，每個人都必須在5點將成品帶到你那兒。每個人都得到了樂趣，而你是大贏家，你有了晚飯。

46. Take a photography class. It can be a great way to have fun, meet people, get some skills, and see new parts of your town.

學攝影。會很有意思的，結識朋友，學會技巧，還會在你熟悉的地方看見新的東西。

47. Organize an event at your church, temple, mosque, etc. If you're a little bored this summer, organize something fun with people you have something in common with.

在你們那兒的教堂、寺廟、清真寺舉辦一場活動。如果你暑假裏有點無聊，和與你有共同之處的人們一道組織點兒有意思的活動吧。

48. Go to a music festival. The weather's nice, the music's great, and the people are fun and interesting. Take advantage of summer music festivals while you can.

去音樂節。天氣好，音樂也好，人們快活又有趣，趁着還有暑假，享受夏日音樂節的樂趣吧。

49. Go golfing. Never been? Golfing can be a great workout, a fun way to spend the day outside, and an important skill to learn if you're interested in going into the business field.

打高爾夫。沒打過?高爾夫是很不錯的體育鍛煉，在室外這樣度過一天很有意思，如果你想經商，學點高爾夫的技巧就很重要了。

50. Head to an amusement park. It's a summer classic and can easily turn into one of the highlights of your summer.

去遊樂園。這可是暑假必玩項目，而且很可能成爲你暑假裏最精彩的部分之一。
