你还在用中文学“度假”是holiday还是vacation?

你现在还在“用”中文去分辨并用中文表达holiday和vacation有什么区别，“度假”是holiday还是vacation，这是你学英语口语始终原地踏步的根源所在。你这是在“学”英语口语，还是在“说”中文口语？

对于学英语为“非考试”一族，你是无需“用”中文去“说”英语holiday和vacation各自是什么意思的。你能把下面的高中英语遣词造句“说”好，你基本就知道“度假”是holiday，还是vacation了，同时也帮助你训练了基本的英语口语：

1. Well,both holiday and vacation are days for rest, when we don't have to work,or we don't go to school.

BUT,BUT,BUT....but来了：

2. Well, you know,a holiday means a public holiday.For example,Saturday is a (public) holiday,Sunday is a (public) holiday,Christmas is a (public) hoilday,Spring Festival is a (publuc)holiday,bla bla bla.Public means it is for everybody in the country.

这就是holiday，别人问到你什么是Holiday，你说BB这一通英语口语，对方就能明白，不需要你BB一通中文做解释。

For example,Saturday,Sunday,Christmas,New Year's Day,Sprin,bla bla bla,they are all (public) holidays,not vacations.

3. They are public holidays, because they are for everybody.

那么，什么是vacation呢？你也不用BB一通“中文口语”：

1. Well,a vacation is not a public vacation.It is not for everybody.

2. After you have worked in a company or in an office for some time, you will have a few dats for a rest,for not going to work,but you still get paid from your boss.So a paid day for rest at home,or going traveling is a vacation.

3. A vacation is only for you. It is not for everybody, it is not public.

我们需要的是具备用英语把holiday和vacation表达清楚的英语能力，不是用中文做英语同义词辫析的中文表达能力。

至于一些“考试族”搬出summer/winter vacation,be on holiday等等来“辫析”，注重英语口语能力的你就别去理会了。等你需要应付考试时再学不迟。
