一般人要表達假期, 就會想到 vacation holiday 這兩個字
不過要注意的是, vacation 指的通常是長假”(大約一個月以上吧)
所以像暑假就是 summer vacation
vacation 也指休閒放鬆的渡假
注意渡假的說法是 take a vacation go on vacation
要小心有沒有 a 的問題
不要弄混了而成為 take vacation (X) go on a vacation (X)
渡假也可說 take a holiday / go on holiday
但是英式英文的用法
美式英文會較常用 vacation 來指渡假
不過像春假或寒假這種比較短的假期
要說 spring break / winter break
holiday 的本意是假日
所以像元旦, 各種節慶的放假就是 holiday
有時會放連假不只一天
就可以說 a two / three-day holiday
比如: We will have a three-day holiday this weekend.
連續三天的周末假期也有另一說法, a long weekend
比如: This coming weekend will be a long weekend.
(即將到來的周末是連假周末)
holiday 也可以指任何不用上班上學的日子
所以颱風假是可以說 a typhoon holiday
不過像美加一帶若因下大雪不用上班上學
是叫 a snow day 而非 a snow holiday
以此類推, 若要用較道地的英文說法
颱風假應該是 a typhoon day
大家可以參考以下 Taipei Times 的文章
https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2009/08/07/2003450577 昨天放颱風假” It was a typhoon day yesterday. / Yesterday was a typhoon day.
We had a day off yesterday because of the typhoon.
have a day off 也是休假一天”, “放假一天的意思
