宝塔之星保险柜说明书:十种方法为为爱情添油加醋

爱情，除非你奉献出一切，否则它是不会持久保鲜的。

A relationship, like anything else you want to last, requires attention, work and regular maintenance. Imagine buying a car, driving it off the lot and never checking or changing the oil, filling it up with gas, or getting regular tune ups. You’re not going to get too far and it’s certainly not going to last you as long as it could.

象其它所有你希望保持不变的东西一样，持续一段爱情需要付诸心血、努力和日常维护。想象你买一辆小车，把它开走，可是从不检查油或换油，也不加油，更不进行常规调校。那么这车肯定开不了多远，也没有开到它本来可以达到的距离。1

Relationships really are no different. They need a daily effort if you want to be in it for the long haul and it’s the little things that make huge impacts. With Valentine’s Day only 12 days away (yes, you’re welcome for the reminder!) here are 10 ideas you can do to add a little spark to your relationship today and everyday.

维系各类情感都是相似的。想要长久地维系一段感情需要从日常琐碎做起，往往日常点滴会产生巨大的影响。还有12天就是情人节了，（是的，你要记住哦！）这里有十种方法为你的爱情添油加醋，在今天、每一天。

1.First date. Re-create your first date. Think back to where you went, what movie you saw, what meal you ate. Then re-create it. It’s fun to take a trip down memory lane and have all the excitement and feelings coming flooding back.

2.Flowers. Think of her favorite flower from time to time and give it to her “just because”.

1. 第一次约会

 再现第一次约会的场景。回忆你们去过哪里，看过什么电影，吃了什么东西。然后再现当时的场景。循着记忆重复过往的事情是一件很有趣的事，所有的快乐和感觉如洪水般强烈的震荡于心。

2.鲜花

时不时地送上她喜欢的花，不需要任何理由。 

3.Date Night. Pick a night this week to go out on date. Whether it’s dinner and a movie or just a couple of drinks after work followed by a walk in the park, the point is to have time alone together to reconnect. Take turns planning a special evening each week, make it a competition.

3.约会之夜

这周选一个晚上出去约会。无论是吃饭、看电影，还是只是下班后一起喝点东西然后去公园散步，重要的是有单独在一起的时间促进感情。轮流着每周安排一个特别的晚间约会，看谁的主意更好。

4.Plan a picnic. Plan a picnic in the park, on the beach or by a river. Make a selection of his favorite foods and a nice red wine is a great touch.

4. 计划一次野餐

计划到公园、海难或者小河边去野餐。奉上些他喜欢的食物，再加上一瓶上好的红酒，感觉会很棒。

5.Communicate. Personally, I think this one is the key to any relationship. Just talk and listen to each other. Discuss your dreams and hopes for the future, your fears and what you most look forward to. Try creating a list of all the reasons why you love him/her and read it out to them. Making sure you are both on the same page puts you well on the path to a happy life together.

5.交流。我个人认为交流对于任何情感的发展都是至关重要的。简单地说说你的想法，听听对方的想法。讨论你对未来的期望和梦想，你的忧虑和你最想的是什么。试着列下所有你爱他/她的理由，大声地读给他/她听。有着共同的想法，会指引你们幸福地生活在一起。

6.Do something nice. Like I said before, it’s the little things that make huge impacts. Wake him up before the alarm with a steaming cup of coffee. Start the car on a cold day to let it warm up. Pack a lunch so she can take it to work BONUS: include a love note!

6. 做些让她\他感动的事

如我之前所说，生活中的点滴小事会产生巨大的影响。闹钟响起前叫醒他，为他递上一杯热热咖啡；在天冷的时候提前启动车，使车内暖和起来；给她准备一份爱心午餐带去上班，还要夹上一张爱心便签。

7.Massage. Book a couples massage at a local day spa. This can be especially invigorating after a long stressful week and set the tone for a relaxing weekend.

7.按摩

在当地的SPA会所预订双人按摩服务。尤其是在经历了长长一周的紧张工作后，按摩使人神清气爽，还能创造轻松的周末情调。

8.Show affection. Hold hands, hug, kiss or just put your arm around him. There is a lot to be said for the healing power of touch. Try a back rub, footsie under the table whatever you like just make a point of having physical contact each and everyday.

8.表达感情

握住他的手，拥抱，亲吻或用胳膊环抱住他。许多地方都提到触摸的强大治疗功效。随你喜欢，在背后挠一下他，或者在桌底轻踢他的脚，坚持每天有些身体接触。

9.Stay in bed all weekend. My husband and I did this once (before we had kids of course), it was AWESOME!  Granted it was for a weekend TV marathon of Eco-Challenge but it was great to just lay there with each other and reconnect without all the common distractions.

9.周末整天躺在床上

我和丈夫有过一次这样的经历（当然是在我们有孩子前），这实在是太棒了！将这当作是一次挑战生态的电视马拉松周末, 远离尘世喧嚣，和心爱的人躺在一起感觉很奇妙。

10.Show appreciation. Say thank-you for all the things he does to show that they are not going unnoticed. Don’t just say “Thanks for everything”, give it some thought and list out the things that you are truly thankful for.

10.表达感激

对所有他为你做的事情表示感谢，让他知道他的良苦用心你全是知道的。不要只是说“谢谢你为我所做的一切”，多说些你的想法，列出你真心想感谢的具体事件。

Taking time each day to work on your relationship, even in the smallest way, will make for a happy and joyful one. What things do you do to make each day special?

每天花点时间来打理你们的感情，即使是最微不足道的事情，也可以达愉快的效果。做些什么让你的每天都那么特别？
