| Hi! Welcome to Chinese Top Words. My name is Rui. Today, we’re going to talk about 10 most romantic ideas for a date. |
| 1. 烛光晚餐 (zhúguāng wǎncān) “candlelit dinner” |
| 哪个女孩不喜欢烛光晚餐？ (Nǎ ge nǚhái bù xǐhuān zhúguāng wǎncān?) “What girl wouldn't like a candlelit dinner?” |
| Do you like a candlelit dinner? I don’t like it because I always feel a little...I’m kind of clumsy so if there two candles on the dinner table, I feel a little nervous like I’m going to do something dangerous or cause some trouble by the fire by accident so I don’t really like candlelit dinner. |
| 2. 散步 (sànbù) “to go for a walk” |
| 我们去河边散散步吧。 (Wǒmen qù hébiān sǎn sànbù ba.) “Let's go for a walk along the river.” |
| 3. 打保龄球 (dǎ bǎolíngqiú) “to go bowling” |
| 这个周末去打保龄球怎么样？ (Zhège zhōumò qù dǎ bǎolíngqiú zěnmeyàng?) “How about going bowling this weekend?” |
| Do you like bowling? I just tried it last week and I had so many gutterballs. I will improve my bowling skills. I got one spare once. Good for me for the first time bowling! |
| 4. 去水族馆 (qù shuǐzúguǎn) “to go to the aquarium” |
| 去水族馆需要一整天的时间。 (Qù shuǐzúguǎn xūyào yì zhěng tiān de shíjiān.) “Visiting the aquarium will take a whole day.” |
| I visited the aquarium in Japan. I really enjoyed it and the tank is huge. If I have my time, I could just watch there like watch the huge tank and so many fishes in front of me. I feel like I’m living in the sea with the fishes. I really enjoyed it. I strongly recommend it. |
| 5. 去看歌剧 (qù kàn gējù) “to go to the opera” |
| 我很少去看歌剧。 (Wǒ hěn shǎo qù kàn gējù.) “I rarely go to the opera.” |
| I do rarely go to the opera, only two times, and fell asleep two times, both times, yeah. I went to an opera house in Beijing, but it’s so pretty and the whole experience is good, but I just feel sorry like I don’t understand it like so much so I fell into sleep. |
| 6. 上陶艺课 (shàng táoyì kè) “to take a pottery class” |
| 最近挺流行上陶艺课的。 (Zuìjìn tǐng liúxíng shàng táoyì kè de.) “Taking a pottery class is very popular lately.” |
| I think I will enjoy a pottery class even though I’d never had experience yet because I like messing up things. |
| 7. 野餐 (yě cān) “to have a picnic” |
| 今天的天气很适合野餐。 (Jīntiān de tiānqì hěn shìhé yěcān.) “The weather today is perfect for a picnic.” |
| So in China, in elementary school, we have spring travel for a very short time, like, in one day and that’s actually our picnic time because as a little kid, the teachers will not really take us to a place really far and just very simple, like bring something, snacks, bring some bento and we’re going to have a picnic together, and that’s kind of my favorite time in my elementary school days. I really enjoyed it. |
| 8. 吃晚饭，看电影 (chī wǎnfàn, kàn diànyǐng) “to have dinner and see a movie” |
| 吃晚饭，看电影是每对恋人都做过的事情吧。 (Chī wǎnfàn, kàn diànyǐng shì měi duì liànrén dōu zuò guò de shìqing ba.) “Going to a dinner then a movie must be something that every couple has done.” |
| So in China, many couples will spend their week and time for having a dinner and then watching a movie. But sometimes, I think not only China, they will fight about, they will have a little quarrel about what movie to see. |
| 9. 坐船 (zuò huán) “to take a ferry ride” |
| 在约会的夜晚坐船看风景也是很浪漫的。 (Zài yuēhuì de yèwǎn zuò chuán kàn fēngjǐng yě shì hěn làngmàn de.) “Taking a ferry ride and enjoying the view on a date night is also very romantic.” |
| So if you visit China especially Shanghai, I strongly recommend The Bund and you can take a ferry ride at night to enjoy the view of Shanghai. It’s very pretty and it’s a famous spot for the couple’s date. |
| 10. 去博物馆 (qù bówùguǎn) “to go to the museum” |
| 去博物馆可以学到很多东西。 (Qù bówùguǎn kěyǐ xuédào hěn duō dōngxi.) “You can learn quite a lot when going to a museum.” |
| I remember there was a museum in the People’s Square in Shanghai. People’s Square is located in the center of Shanghai and it’s free for foreigners. You can learn a lot of Chinese culture there. You will enjoy this experience in visiting museum in China I believe. |
