暑假到了,你有没有一些亲戚或朋友碰巧住在某个旅游城市呢?不如去投靠他们来增进增进感情、节省一些度假开支吧!这种度假方式目前在国外很受欢迎,英语中叫paliday,这个词是由pal(朋友)和holiday(假期)构成的合成词。
Apalidayis a holiday in which you rely on the goodwill of your friends or family to feed and house you in their own home. And in the recent tough financial climate, the paliday appears to be increasingly popular, as people search for alternative ways to take a break at a time when their holiday budget is tightly squeezed.
