借着今日的情景对话，我们来巩固一些懂你里的句子。

1. go on a trip  去旅行

1) Christina isn't going on the trip by herself.

2) During that trip she was only in San Francisco for a few days.

3) In six weeks, Paul is going on a trip.

2. have a vacation  度假，放假

The last vacation she took was more than two years ago.

说到"假期"，除了vacation，大家肯定还想到了"holiday"，那究竟这两者有何区别呢？动动你的小眼神，移目下一行：

holiday 常用来表示公众假期，其中包括法定节假日和宗教有关的假期，比如public holiday，Christmas圣诞。

所以，如果你的同事都在同一天不上班，那这不是vacation，是holiday。

vacation 通常与旅行travel有关，如果你跟别人讨论vacation，画风多半是这样的：

A: I took a vacation last week.

B: Where did you go?

工作久了，除了用need a vacation的方式来缓解工作压力之外，take a break也是一个不错的选择。

4. That would be fun!

那会很有趣！
