話說,現在接近新年了,又到了一年工作請假的高峰期了。

今天,我們就順便來看下,英文中“請假”的各種說法,以及一些周邊小常識。

說到假期的英文,很多人第一反應是 holiday,但其實,英文中,假期的說法有好幾個,而且內涵差很多。

一起來學習下吧。

 

 

 

 

◆ holiday, vacation, days off, leave 比較

 

 

· holiday 是指因宗教節日或國家喜慶日而設立的法定“假日"

Christmas holiday is the biggest holiday in many Western countries.

在很多西方國家,聖誕節是最重要的假期。

 

· vacation 一般指大學的假期

summer vacation暑假  

winter vacation寒假

 

· days off純粹指不用上班,休息的日子,例如週末。

 

· leave:通常必須是自己申請的休假

 

· break:指短暫的休息,比如下課時間、開會休息
