收藏用英语怎么说

I' ve heard some people take up a hobby for relaxation and thus develop new interests.我听说许多人培养一种嗜好以调剂心情，发展新的兴趣。

Yes. I collect rocks and sea shells in my leisure time. They' re plentiful. Collecting them is not so expensive as collecting antiques.

是的。我在闲暇时间收集石头和贝壳，现在数量不少。收集石头和贝壳不像收集古董那么贵。

Do you collect them for pleasure, for overcoming boredom, for financial return or for educational value?

你收集那些东西是为了快乐，为消除无聊，为金钱回报还是为了教育上的价值？

For the aesthetic and intellectual stimulation missing from routine tasks. My work is boring. I need an activity as an escape to an alternate way of life. Rocks and sea shells are not only beautiful. They calm down the tension caused by the increasing hectic pace of modern life. They also tell me that since all things, animate or inanimate, are the same in nature, we must be content with the constant changes of things around us.

为美学，也是为寻求心理刺激，那是平时工作中找不到的。我做的工作，无聊透顶，需要一种活动作为逃避，享受一种生活方式。石头和贝壳不但漂亮，还能稳定我紧张的情绪，现在越来越快的生活步调令我紧张。它们还告诉我，万事万物，不管有无生命，其本质都一样，因此我们对周围事物的不断变化必须心平气和。

Me, too. To get relief from the boredom of my work, I assemble coins of different designs. I hope some day in the future my collection will enable me to make a fortune when my coins are sold. Moreover, I am fond of collecting stamps and I' ve got quite a big collection of records and tapes, but I don' t buy many now.

我也是。为了消除工作上的无聊，我开始收集不同造型的硬币，希望有一天，我收藏的硬币出售时，能为我赚一笔钱。此外，我也集邮，我收集了好多唱片和录音带，但现在我不买那么多了。
