說到休假,那還不熟悉嗎?holiday, vacation;詞組搭配有on holiday/vacation,初中都背過的。那我們今天來講講,關(guān)于''holiday, vacation''大家不知道的那些事兒;再拓展講講其他的“休假”。

?

1. Holiday/Vacation:

holiday是英式英語, vacation是美式英語,用法差不多,以下著重講holiday,關(guān)于vacation大家舉一反三吧。值得留意的是,holiday在美式英語中,多解作短的假期,如周末;vacation則指較長(zhǎng)的假期,如暑假。

(1)“放假”可以說on holiday,如果只是“調(diào)休、休息”等暫時(shí)性的沒去上班、上課,口語中一般不用on holiday,而用''off ''。

例:

''Where's Kate?''? ''She's off this week.''-凱特呢? -她這周休息。)

(2)搭配:

???? a package holiday: =a holiday in which you pay a price that includes travel, room and food包價(jià)游(費(fèi)用都交給旅行社等,由他們來安排食宿玩)——不要照字面理解成什么“背包客”、“窮游”等等

The company organizes package holidays to Spain and Greece. (公司組織去西班牙和希臘的包價(jià)游。)
