圣诞节英语用词（英语口语话题Topic训练）

英语口语话题Topic训练：圣诞节是Holiday 还是festival

我们都会说Merry Christmas，我们也说Spring Festival，但是，Christmas是一个holiday还是一个festival呢？

我们可以说Christmas is both a holiday and a festival.

注意，我们用英语口语训练的方式告诉别人holiday和festival的不同：

1 .Holiday

When we say a holiday, we usually mean a public holiday(公共假日). We mean it is a time of rest at home. We don't go to work, we don't go to school. So:

Saturday is a holiday. Sunday is a holiday

这是holiday(public holiday)的最好例子。

从a rest at home角度，我们可以说Christmas is also a holiday.Right?

2. Festival.

When we say festival, we also mean a time of rest at home. No work.No school classes.

从这个角度看，Christmas is a festival,too.
