8. Movie Ttheaters
电影院
Whether you’re a movie buff or not, there is no denying that films are the preferred art form for most people, so catching some flicks could offer you a hint about what people react to (not to mention it will be fun).
无论你是不是电影爱好者,都无法否认,电影是大多数人最喜欢的艺术形式,所以去看几部电影你就会知道人们对什么东西有反应了(更不用提有多有趣了。)
9. Old Haunts
故地
Are there any places you used to visit ALL the time but then you got married, had kids and it’s been a while since you visited? Maybe the bar you always went to in college, the Mexican restaurant you loved in high school, or an ice-cream shop you used to adore? Revisit these places to re-live some of your past memories that are likely to bring a smile to your face.
有没有什么地方你过去经常去,但是接着你结了婚,有了孩子,然后好长时间都没有去了?也许是你上大学时经常去的酒吧、或高中时喜欢的墨西哥餐馆、或你喜欢去的冰激凌店?重新去这些地方会让你重温过去的回忆,很可能让你的脸上挂满微笑。
10. Art Museums
艺术博物馆
If you’re going to learn from somebody, why not learn from the greats? Explore paintings from a variety of eras, countries, and styles to increase your perspective. Challenge your brain by asking yourself, “What was the artist trying to accomplish with this work?” This game will be especially fun for abstract pieces.
如果你想向某人学习,为什么不向伟人学习呢?探索不同时代、不同国家、不同风格的绘画会扩展你的视野。通过问问自己这个问题来挑战一下你的大脑:“艺术家想通过这部作品传达什么内容呢?” 这个游戏对抽象作品而言尤其有趣。
11. Live Concerts and Performances
现场演唱会和表演
There is something amazing about seeing a band or theater troupe that perform with complete harmony.
观看乐队或剧团的和谐表演是非常令人惊叹的。
12. Conversation with Friends
和朋友谈话
Ideas happen when you stop talking about them and start making them happen….. to an extent. Have you ever had an idea in your brain or written in a notebook that just felt like it was missing something, but then you talked it over with a friend and the missing pieces weren’t far behind? Your friends will have perspectives totally different from yours, so don’t underestimate the power of a simple conversation.
想法会在你停止谈论它们并在一定程度上开始让它们成真时出现。你有没有过这样的经历?当你脑海里有个想法或把它写到笔记本上时,感觉好像缺了什么东西,但是当你和朋友谈论它时,缺少的东西就离你不远了。你朋友的视角会和你完全不同,所以不要低估简单谈话的影响。
13. Supermarkets
超市
There are few places more neat and tidy than your area supermarket. Check out the nifty food packaging, the attractive (and efficient) shelf placement, the magazine section, the floral selection, and anything else that jumps out at you. If you’re feeling sweet, buy a balloon or flower for someone special.
很少有地方比你本地的超市更干净、整洁的了。查看一下漂亮的食品包装、吸引人的货架摆置、杂志区、花卉区以及你喜欢的任何东西。如果你很开心,可以为你觉得特别的人买个气球或买束花。
14. High School Football Games
高中的橄榄球赛
Check out a football game this fall for a combination of sports, music, community, and crisp fall temperatures (perfect excuse for hot cocoa and snuggling!). Imagine all of the working pieces that made this event possible: the football team, the band musicians, the volunteers at the concession stand, and the school’s staff. You’ll also have a perfect excuse to partake in some people-watching. Even if you’re not a football fan, you’ll enjoy the experience.
观看今秋的橄榄球比赛,把体育、音乐、社区以及凉爽的天气(喝热可可及互相依偎的完美借口)结合起来。想象一下让这次活动发生所涉及到的工作人员:橄榄球队的球员、乐队的成员、货摊上的志愿者和学校的工作人员。 而且你还有完美的借口去观察人们。即便你不是球迷,你也会享受这种经历。
15. Your Existence
你的存在
Would you say that your life has meaning? I can’t imagine you wouldn’t, so look for creativity in the most obvious place it could be: inside yourself. Every day is a tiny part of the grand story that is your life. Keep a journal and write without filter. Don’t be surprised when you look at your notebook later to discover inspiration staring you between the eyes.
你会说自己的人生有意义吗?我无法想象你会说没有,所以去最明显的地方来寻找创造力吧:你的内心。每天都是你生命宏大故事的一小部分。写写日记并不加筛选地记录下来。当你不久之后看日记时,发现灵感正盯着你时就不必感到吃惊了。
