Step 2. Okay, as Donna says on "Parks and Rec"

"Treat yourself, Girl."

「女孩們，好好犒賞自己吧」

splurge on yourself, okay?

盡情揮霍在自己身上，好嗎？

Make a plan to do something that you've been wanting to do for a really long time

計劃一下，做些很久以前就一直想做的事

Tip 3. Friends

三，朋友

The people, alright, not the show

不是影集-六人行(Friends) 我是指真正的朋友

好吧 看六人行也可以

'cause you could spend the whole day with people who mean a lot to you

你可以跟你重要的朋友們 度過一天

Watching Friends

which are kind of like friends

這樣也算是種朋友吧

Or you could go to the beach with your pals

你也可以和麻吉們去海邊玩

which are probably people that you've met on Facebook

可能是你在臉書上認識的麻吉

I don't call anyone "pals"

其實我不太用「麻吉」這個詞

Do you..do you call.. It doesn't if you have pals hang out with them

你會叫人「麻吉」嗎? 總之，有「麻吉」的話，約他們出去

Look, you're not the only single person.

聽著 全天下不是只有你一個單身

That's all I'm trying to say, okay?

我想表達的是這個 懂嗎?

And if you're worried about missing out on Thursday,

如果你怕錯過這個重要的星期四

plan a big event with your friends.

和你的朋友計劃一場大活動吧

host a board game night

像是來個桌游之夜啦

you could even invite a couple of friends that aren't really in to Valentine's Day.

甚至可以邀請那些不太過情人節的朋友

Tip 4. Exercise

四，運動

I'm telling you to exercise on Valentine's Day. Okay?

我是說真的 在情人節那天去運動 好嗎?

Get some fresh air, go on a hike or a bike ride,

呼吸新鮮空氣 去健行 或騎腳踏車

take your dog on a long walk.

帶狗狗去散個長長的步

After all, pets are proven to make you happier.

畢竟，寵物經證實能讓人更快樂

Remember our episode on pet therapy? It's all true

還記得我們那集寵物療法嗎？這是真的!

Tip number six, volunteer

六，當志工

Okay, this is a solid one.

這個建議很實在

Spend some time at a local soup kitchen, animal shelter,

花點時間去 當地的濃湯施捨站或動物收容所

or some other charitable organization that needs your help.

或是其他慈善機構，向他們伸出你的援手

Huh? With so many people spending time together on February 14th,

這麼多人在2/14忙著約會

chances are they're a little short-staffed.

這些機構很可能會人手短缺

It's a great way to give back to your community,

這是你回饋社會的好方法

and help others feel good.

也能讓其他人過得更好

Tip seven, above all,

七 總結以上

just a reminder, February 14th is just another day.

再提醒一次 2/14不過就是個普通的日子

事實上，你甚至不用管我們今天建議了什麼
