最近我意识到很多中国人不知道vacation和holiday的区别。
现在是中国的黄金周,黄金周用英语是golden week

。golden week is a national holiday in China. 在这里不能说vacation. 公共假期是public holiday.
如果你想说度假holiday和vacation都可以用. Vacation is American English and holiday is British English. Holiday period is nearly over. 假期快结束了。

    @spadam黑山 if a teacher took several weeks off to travel to America or somewhere, that isn’t counted as vacation?🤣🤣

    是的,的确很多人分不清楚。我记得我中学的时候,英语老师的解释只是:vacation 表示长假期,holiday 表示较短的一般的假期,例如周末😒😒😒

    @Alice in Mandarin In most cases you can use vacation or holiday but if your talking about a public holiday. You can’t say vacation here. In Britain we only say holiday.

    @spadam黑山 Thanks for your patient explanation. Now I understand it more clearly. British people probably like to say bank holiday, here I guess in American English we like to say public holiday. Usually in France they have summer vacation for which may be referred to take their annual leaves off, is that correct?

    @Xie jinfeng Spot on, we usually call the children’s summer holiday 6 week holiday. Most people go on holiday in the summer because children are off.

    是不是可以理解为holiday有公众假的意思而vacation是自己安排的假期比如annual leave 这样。
