找靈感 15個可以激發想象力的地方(2)

8. Movie Ttheaters

電影院

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).

無論你是不是電影愛好者，都無法否認，電影是大多數人最喜歡的藝術形式，所以去看幾部電影你就會知道人們對什麼東西有反應了（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.

有沒有什麼地方你過去經常去，但是接着你結了婚，有了孩子，然後好長時間都沒有去了？也許是你上大學時經常去的酒吧、或高中時喜歡的墨西哥餐館、或你喜歡去的冰激凌店？重新去這些地方會讓你重溫過去的回憶，很可能讓你的臉上掛滿微笑。

10. Art Museums

藝術博物館

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.

如果你想向某人學習，爲什麼不向偉人學習呢？探索不同時代、不同國家、不同風格的繪畫會擴展你的視野。通過問問自己這個問題來挑戰一下你的大腦：“藝術家想通過這部作品傳達什麼內容呢？” 這個遊戲對抽象作品而言尤其有趣。

11. Live Concerts and Performances

現場演唱會和表演

There is something amazing about seeing a band or theater troupe that perform with complete harmony.

觀看樂隊或劇團的和諧表演是非常令人驚歎的。

12. Conversation with Friends

和朋友談話

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.

想法會在你停止談論它們並在一定程度上開始讓它們成真時出現。你有沒有過這樣的經歷？當你腦海裏有個想法或把它寫到筆記本上時，感覺好像缺了什麼東西，但是當你和朋友談論它時，缺少的東西就離你不遠了。你朋友的視角會和你完全不同，所以不要低估簡單談話的影響。

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乾淨、整潔的了。查看一下漂亮的食品包裝、吸引人的貨架擺置、雜誌區、花卉區以及你喜歡的任何東西。如果你很開心，可以爲你覺得特別的人買個氣球或買束花。

14. High School Football Games

高中的橄欖球賽

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.

觀看今秋的橄欖球比賽，把體育、音樂、社區以及涼爽的天氣（喝熱可可及互相依偎的完美藉口）結合起來。想象一下讓這次活動發生所涉及到的工作人員：橄欖球隊的球員、樂隊的成員、貨攤上的志願者和學校的工作人員。 而且你還有完美的藉口去觀察人們。即便你不是球迷，你也會享受這種經歷。

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.

你會說自己的人生有意義嗎？我無法想象你會說沒有，所以去最明顯的地方來尋找創造力吧：你的內心。每天都是你生命宏大故事的一小部分。寫寫日記並不加篩選地記錄下來。當你不久之後看日記時，發現靈感正盯着你時就不必感到吃驚了。
