$$100 or Less
少于100美元的兴趣爱好

1. Hiking
徒步旅行
All you need is the great outdoors. Well, you need that and some quality clothes
of course! When you go hiking, it’s important to get hiking boots that are fitted
correctly so that you can avoid blisters and unnecessary foot pain. If you are

hiking and camping on the same trip, that will get more expensive since you
will likely have to purchase a tent and other supplies. However, if you just want
to hike, you can spend less than $$100.00 for a nice pair of hiking boots. Oh, and
don’t forget to look on the ground for an excellent free hiking stick!
你只需 有好玩的户外去处，再备上几件适合的衣物就行了！徒步旅行少不了合脚的登山鞋，
以免脚疼起泡。如果 你还打算在一趟旅行中既徒步又露营，开销或许会大一点：你得准备帐
篷等设备。不过如果单单是徒步旅 行，买一双好鞋绝不会超过100美元。当然，买鞋时别忘
了看看能不能免费获赠远足拐杖哦！

2. Blogging
写博客
Blogging is an awesome hobby to have that might also transform into part-time
income some day. All you need is a few dollars to buy your domain name and
hosting. For less than $$100, you can start off with a smaller site and only spend
more for hosting as your site grows. Also, it’s completely free to market your
blog on social media and make new friends at the same time.
写博不仅很有意思，而且 说不定还能赚取业余收入呢。你只需花几块钱（不到100美元）购
买域名和托管，就可以建立一个小网 站，然后慢慢经营就行了。而且，在社交媒体上推广你
的博客并结交新朋友是不花一分钱的。


3. Reading

阅读
Reading is such an easy (and often free!) hobby. Whether you love the
newspaper or your e-reader, this is quite possibly the best hobby for improving
your brain. Reading can actually be 100% free if you’re devoted to your local
library.
阅 读是非常容易（通常还免费）的爱好。不论是看报纸还是读电子书，都能很好地充实头脑。
而且，去当地 图书馆阅读可以100%免费哦！

$$200 or Less
少于200美元的兴趣爱好

4. Tennis
打网球
Tennis is one of those sports that can either be very inexpensive or very costly
depending on how much time you want to devote to it. If you just want to hit
a ball with a friend, all you need to purchase is a racket and tennis balls.
However, if you really, truly want to make this a hobby for the long term,
investing in some instruction is a wise idea.
看你愿意花多少精力吧，打网 球既可以很便宜有可能很昂贵。如果只是平时和朋友打，只要
买副球拍和几个网球就行了；要是真想把打 网球当作长期爱好，那还是建议多投资些：可以
找教练来指导下。

5. Scrapbooking
剪贴簿
Anyone who loves scrapbooking can tell you that it can get costly. However, with
a little self control, you can make absolutely gorgeous scrapbooks for your
friends and family for under $$200 a year. Remember to search for supplies on
places like eBay and resell the ones you aren’t using to get back some of your
investment.
喜欢剪贴簿的人一般都会说 这很花钱。其实，稍加控制的话，一年花不到200美元，就能为
朋友家人制作精美的剪贴簿了。你可以 去eBay这样的地方搜索材料，还可以把你不用的剪
贴簿转卖，找回点投资。

6. Guitar
弹吉他
If you’ve always wanted to learn a musical instrument, the guitar is a great
place to start. You can often purchase a used guitar to practice on until you gain
enough confidence to invest in a more expensive piece. Ask your friends for
lessons or search YouTube for great, free tutorials.
如 果你一直想学门乐器，那么吉他就是不错的选择。而且，你可以先买一个二手吉他练习，
熟练后有自信了 再买贵的。你可以向身边的朋友请教或在YouTube上搜索免费教程。

$$300 or Less
少于300美元的兴趣爱好

7. Cooking
烹饪
Some of the best people in my life love to cook. They enjoy exploring new
recipes on free online sites and trying out new cuisine. The endless lists of
ingredients can definitely get expensive for cooking experts, but the satisfaction
of their family members is well worth it!
我身边有些人就特爱做菜。他们喜欢在免费的网站上发掘新菜谱、尝试新菜式。对 烹饪爱好
者而言，烹饪清单上各种各样的材料肯定得花不少钱，但为了家人一饱口福，一切都是值得的！

8. Ballroom Dancing
交谊舞
Ever since Dancing With The Stars came out almost a decade ago, ballroom
dancing has surged in popularity again. All you need to do is sign up for a class
and grab a partner. Most large studios even host dance nights where you can
practice your skills, making for a very fun night out.
自从差不多十年前《与星共舞》节日推出以来，交谊舞再次大受欢迎。你只需报 班选舞伴就
成。很多大型舞厅通常会举办夜舞会，在那里你不仅可以练习舞技，还能开心打发夜晚时光。

9. Sewing
缝纫
Sewing is a great hobby to have. The biggest expense will be the machine.
Some experts can spend thousands of dollars on a machine, but if you are just
getting started, order a modestly priced one and ask your grandmother to give
you some lessons! While you may be tempted to buy all the supplies you will
need at once, just build your collection slowly as you add on new skills. This
approach will help keep sewing affordable and fun.
缝纫是个相当不错的兴趣爱好。开销最大的当属缝纫机器，有爱好者甚至愿意一掷千 金。但
如果你是初学者，选购一台价格适中的就行，然后多向奶奶请教请教吧！先不要急着一下子
配齐所有物件，还是随着技能增加慢慢积累吧。这样不仅能节约缝纫成本，还会使过程充满

乐趣。

10. Video Games
电子游戏
Video games can actually build a lot of skills, although it’s not advised that you
spend all your days playing them! For just a few hundred dollars a year, you can
purchase a game console and start enjoying time with your friends as you try
to beat them to the next level!
其实电子游戏也能锻炼 不少技能，当然，不建议整天泡在网上啊！你可以花几百块钱买台游
戏机，跟朋友一起玩，大家一起比赛 通关。
As you can see, there are so many great, inexpensive hobbies that you can take
up to fill your spare time or learn something new. Remember, hobbies don’t
have to be expensive to be fun! With just a little bit of monetary investment,
you can learn a life-changing skill and make new friends along the way.
