一日一句【12】holiday和holidays

holiday和holidays

示例：
Where is Lucy going for her summer holiday(s)?
露丝要到什么地方去度暑假？

在句子中，holiday用单数和用复数所表示的意义不同：表示一、两天的短假期用单数holiday，如用holidays，在通常情况下就是指较长的、好多天的时间了。

Jack likes to go to the sea during his holidays.
杰克喜欢到海边去度假。

还要注意以下两点：
1. 在以下这类词组中holiday总是用单数：
five months’ holiday, two weeks’ holiday, on holiday

In this job you get two weeks’ holiday.
你干这工作可有两周假期。

2. a holiday有时也指较长时间的一段休息期：
William is tired of his office work and is longing for a holiday.
威廉厌倦办公室工作，渴望有个假期。
