take the day off 休一天假;放一天假
例句:We take the day off on International Workers' Day every year.
每年“五一”国际劳动节我们都会休一天假。
数词替换:表休多天假时,可改为 take + 数字 + days off,如 take three days off(休三天假);
注意事项
表 “休一天假” 时,day 前必须加 the,规范用法不可说 take a day off,口语偶见但不推荐;
该短语侧重 “主动休假 / 被准许休假”,无贬义,与 “旷工、旷课”(play truant/skip work)性质不同;
表 “休半天假” 需改为 take half a day off,不可直接替换该短语。
Radio host: Hello everyone. We're joined today by Yan Jing. He has tried 20 different jobs
in three years! Yan Jing, why did you do this?
Yan Jing: A teacher once encouraged us to try different jobs. Each job means a different
life story and a new skill to learn. So I thought, why not?
Radio host: Did you try some interesting or unusual jobs?
Yan Jing: Yes, like an onion cutter!
Radio host: Wait, an onion cutter!? It sounds quite easy.
Yan Jing: Haha, I spent every day in tears! All jobs have easy and difficult parts, even
taking care of pandas.
Radio host: Wow, that really sounds like a dream job.
Yan Jing: It is! But it is also a real challenge. It needs a lot of hard work and patience.
Radio host: So, what did you learn after trying so many jobs?
Yan Jing: Well, it's important to love your job, keep learning new skills. Just work hard.
Radio host: Thanks for sharing with us, Yan Jing. Next week...

take the day off 休一天假;放一天假
易混词 / 短语辨析
have a day off:与 take the day off 同义,均表示休一天假,英式英语更常用 have,美式英语更偏爱 take;
ask for a day off:侧重 “主动申请” 的动作,指 “请一天假”,而 take the day off 侧重 “休假” 的结果;
take off:作 “休假” 讲时为不及物动词,可后接时间,如 take off a day(休一天假),此外还有 “飞机起飞” 的核心含义,是多义短语;
take half a day off:仅表示 “休半天假”,与 take the day off 的核心区别是休假时长不同。
encourage /ɪnˈkɜːrɪdʒ/ v.鼓励,支持,促进,激励,刺激
例句:My teacher often encourages me to speak English in public.
我的老师经常鼓励我在公共场合说英语。
