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。
