释义 |
■ holiday不能从 day 字望文生义,以为一定是只有一天的假日。其实也可以是连续多天的假期(在英国英语尤其如此,美国则较多用 vacation)。 - She talked me into taking a week's holiday.她说服了我去度一周的假期。
- The company offers a pension scheme and three weeks' paid holiday.公司提供一个养老金办法和三周工资照付的假期。
- They had only to smell damp in a basement to move house, only to have two days' rain on a holiday to change districts. (John Fowles, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Chapter 5)他们因为嗅到底楼有潮湿气味便搬了家。有一次在外度假时,因某个地方一连下了两天雨,他们就赶紧离开那儿。
当然,也可以只有一天。 - New Year's Day is a national holiday.元旦是国定节日。
