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. 　　尽管我们刚过了圣诞节和新年，另外一个节日又要提醒我们多么孤独悲伤。那就是情人节，人们设立了这个半假日来增加鲜花、珠宝、巧克力的销售，自杀热线产业也更为火爆。如果你发现没有人陪你度过2月14日这一天，通过以下单身者的方式你也可以过得很嗨。 　　1. Party 　　1.聚会 　　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.” 　　既然能外出度过一个好时光，又何必闲坐着自我怜悯呢。如果有人邀请你去参加情人节聚会，那就去吧。谁在乎是不是大部分人都和情人一起去的呢。你有机会在别处吃喝，观察着周围的事情。也许会有些美女，也许有些夫妻假装着并没有因为情人节礼物不合适而争吵。不管怎样，你会过得很开心的!你也可以给自己的聚会一个合适的主题，如“历史夫妻”、“恐怖电影人物”。 　　2. Treat Yourself 　　2. 款待自己 　　The upside to not having a valentine is not being obliged to spend of your pay check on a gift for someone. Instead, I recommend that you:We can sometimes put so much time and energy into other people that we forget about ourselves. So why not make this Valentine’s Day all about you? Whether your idea of indulgence is a massage, a new game or an entire pot pie to yourself, do it. Frankly, I’d go for all three. 　　没有情人的好处就是不必为别人花钱买礼物。于是，我建议你：款待自己。有时候我们花很多时间和精力在别人身上而忘了自己。那么何不为自己过这个情人节呢?不管你觉得按摩、玩新游戏还是吃一整个馅饼是一种享受，选你喜欢的去做吧。说实话，这三个我都会去做。 　　3. Have an Awesome Night Out
