暑假的英文到底怎么说?90%的人都用错!

学生党们是不是都放暑假啦

虽然我这辈子都不会放暑假了

但还是想问大家:暑假用英文怎么说

是 summer holiday

还是 summer vacation

和我一样犯选择困难症的举个手

叮!答案是 summer vacation

vacation 指的是停止工作或

读书的假期,与天数没有直接关系

这里就指的是学期和学期间的空档

有趣的是,在澳洲不会这么说哦

澳洲人称暑假为 summer holidays

那什么时候用 holiday

什么时候用 vacation

不要急~今天给大家说个明白

vacation / holiday

In America, a vacation is when you take a short break from work and travel to a distant location, often to the coast or a nice hotel, somewhere relaxing.

A holiday in America is a special day of celebration.  Some examples of which are Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and The Fourth of July.
