people even go on two or three holidays a year In my opinion there are two types of holidaymakers The first kind always flock to seaside resorts when they go on holiday Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up They are not a bit interested in local specialties At mealtimes if they can get a plate British fish and chips they re more than happy They spend their days in the sunshine and their evenings getting drunk then sleeping sound If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil he or she will undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster The other sort of holidaymakers go to every country to increase their knowledge of foreign lands They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge For them going on holiday is educational Consequently this sort of travelers will move form place to place every few days If they visit lots of places in a short span of time there is no way that they can get a proper feel of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine Whichever type of holiday chosen everybody has the same aim to put their work to the back of their minds have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed 现在有越来越多的方法去度假 越来越多的人每年都去国外 有些人甚至在 一年两或三假期 在我看来 有两种类型的度假者 第一种总是聚集到海滨胜地 当他们去度 假 他们唯一的目的是把他们的日光浴和脚上有一个很好的时间 他们不在当 地的特产有点兴趣 在吃饭的时候 如果他们能够得到一个板的英国 鱼和薯 条 他们更快乐 他们白天在阳光和晚上喝醉了 然后沉睡 如果这种人忘 记带防晒油 他或她会回家像龙虾一 度假者的 其他种类去每个国家增加他们的外国知识 他们利用出差的机会 来提高他们的世界的知识 对他们来说 去度假是教育 因此 这类旅行者将 形成地方每隔几天 如果他们访问在短时间的地方很多 没有办法 他们可以 得到一个合适的感觉的一个地方或完全了解当地的食物和酒 哪个 假日选择类型 每个人都有相同的目的 把他们的工作 他们的头脑中 有尽可能多的乐趣和轻松愉快的回家
