借着今日的情景对话,我们来巩固一些懂你里的句子。
1. go on a trip 去旅行
1) Christina isn't going on the trip by herself.
2) During that trip she was only in San Francisco for a few days.
3) In six weeks, Paul is going on a trip.
2. have a vacation 度假,放假
The last vacation she took was more than two years ago.
说到"假期",除了vacation,大家肯定还想到了"holiday",那究竟这两者有何区别呢?动动你的小眼神,移目下一行:
holiday 常用来表示公众假期,其中包括法定节假日和宗教有关的假期,比如public holiday,Christmas圣诞。
所以,如果你的同事都在同一天不上班,那这不是vacation,是holiday。
vacation 通常与旅行travel有关,如果你跟别人讨论vacation,画风多半是这样的:
A: I took a vacation last week.
B: Where did you go?
工作久了,除了用need a vacation的方式来缓解工作压力之外,take a break也是一个不错的选择。
You need to take a break from work. Your health is important, and so am I.
3. My job doesn't give much vocation.
我的工作可没那么多假期。
4. That would be fun!
那会很有趣!
