每年我们都会受邀参加各种各样的聚会或庆祝活动,比如婚礼、满月酒以及同学会等等。参加这类活动似乎是我们的职责所在,所以出门参加这样的活动就叫obligation trips;而且参加活动不但要出时间,还要送红包。这样一来,想自己出去真正度个假的时候却发现既没有时间也没有闲钱了。
Obligation trips are the trips that people make to witness other people’s milestones like weddings, college graduations, or various kinds of reunions. They are not supposed to say no to these invitations and these trips are filling up their travel calendars and invading their savings.
Obligation trips(尽责之旅)指人们受邀出席的那些重要聚会活动,如婚礼、大学毕业典礼或各类聚会。他们一般无法拒绝这样的邀请,而这一类活动占据了他们大部分的出行计划,同时也让他们的钱包被掏空不少。
Forty-one percent of U.S. travelers spend the majority of their vacation budgets on obligation trips, according to survey data recently released by Hotwire.com. As travelers jet around for other people's milestones, many are wishing for a getaway of their own. Hotwire's survey found that 89 percent of adults want to take more leisure trips but don't have the time or money for these vacations. (Source: huffingtonpost.com)
