【每日潮词】忙碌的“工作假日”
Busman's holiday refers to a holiday that you spend doing the same kind of thing that you usually do for your job.
“工作假日”指的是照常工作的休假日。

If you have a holiday, but spend it doing something similar to your usual work, you can refer to it as a busman's holiday .
如果你在休假，但却做着和平日工作时差不多的事情，就可以称之为“工作假日”。

早在19世纪，英国人出门常常乘坐“公共马车”。据说，马车车主大都疼爱自己的“马”，常常利用休息日装扮成乘客，偷偷坐在自家的马车上，以确保车夫善待马匹。久而久之，“a busman's holiday”应运而生，用来形容“没有休息的节假日”。
