“五一劳动节”可以把它叫作May Day(五一),Labour Day(劳动节),或是最正式的叫法International Workers' Day(国际劳动节)。老外会倾向于”May Day“,而对国人来说Labour Day更准确一些。
a holiday和 two holidays
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(如暑假)。
