身體是革命的本錢。現(xiàn)代社會壓力巨大，大家忙著奮斗的同時，也要注意休息，勞逸結合。我們來看看英語中“休息”是怎么說的。

being active, and sit down or lie down so that you become less tired

work and try to rest. （醫(yī)生讓我請一段時間的假休息一下。）

2. take a rest: to rest for a short
time in the middle of a tiring activity

rest''常見于美式英語中，英式英語中常作''have a rest''。
例：

long periods of time—take a rest occasionally. （用電腦別用太久，時不時也要休息一下。）

sometimes I escaped up there to have a rest. （酒店房間有電視，我有時會躲到那里休息一下。）

are doing for a short time, so that you can rest
