明天是五一劳动节，我们准备痛痛快快玩一天。

从「五一劳动节」学「假期」英语

接下来我们来一起学习holiday这个词。

你可能会觉得，holiday这么简单，有什么好学的呢？其实越简单越容易让你掉以轻心。就最基本的来说，你知道 a holiday 和 two holidays 分别是什么意思吗？

一天假期和两天假期的意思？

这么想就错了。a holiday 并非 a day，因为holiday的意思是一段时间的假期，并非是一天假期。就算假期持续2天，也算作 a holiday。

Holiday: a time of rest from work, school etc.

更进一步说，two holidays 并不是指“两天假期”，而是“两次假期”的意思。还有，holidays除了是复数之外，还被用来表示持续很久的长假（例如暑假）。
