Word train of holiday

У каждого из нас есть свое любимое время года, но наверняка большинство сойдется во мнении, что самый лучший сезон – это сезон отпусков (a holiday season). При этом неважно, когда вы решили отдохнуть: студеной зимой, знойным летом, бархатной осенью или цветущей весной. В этой статье мы поговорим о разных видах отпуска и отдыхе на английском языке. Итак, начнем:

1. An active holiday = an adventure holiday – активный отдых.

   Перевод понятия «активный отдых» на английском языке возможен в двух вариантах, но между ними есть небольшое различие. Active holiday предполагает, что вы целенаправленно едете что-то делать. Занятие может быть абсолютно любым, от рисования (painting) и садоводства (gardening) до скалолазания (climbing/rock-climbing) и гребли на каноэ (canoeing).

   Do you like active holiday? Let’s go canoeing. – Тебе нравится активный отдых? Давай займемся греблей на каноэ.

   Adventure holiday – это, как правило, организованный тур, где вы занимаетесь чем-то новым для себя, например, отправляетесь в поход (a trek) или на сафари (a safari).

   I like adventure holiday. We’ve just got back from a safari. It was amazing! – Я люблю активный отдых. Мы только что вернулись с сафари. Это было потрясающе!

2. Camping – кемпинг.

   Палатка (a tent), костер (a bonfire), природа (nature) – романтика (romance). Если вы любите отдых в единении с природой, значит, вам понравится кемпинг.

   They go camping regularly. They like to cook in a pot and to sleep in a tent. – Они регулярно занимаются кемпингом. Им нравится готовить в котелке и спать в палатке.

   Последнее время набирает популярность такая разновидность кемпинга, как glamping (глэмпинг): glamour (гламур) + camping. Вы также наслаждаетесь отдыхом на природе, но при этом у вас есть все блага цивилизации: кровать, душ с горячей водой, wi-fi.

   – Do you go camping? – Ты занимаешься кемпингом?
   – No, I go glamping. – Нет, я занимаюсь глэмпингом.

3. A walking holiday = a walking tour – пеший тур.

   Пеший тур в английском языке может предполагать как прогулки по незнакомому городу и осмотр достопримечательностей (sightseeing), так и туристический поход с рюкзаком (a rucksack (Br.E.) / a backpack (Am.E., Br.E.)) за спиной.

   My friend George advised me to take a guided walking tour of Athens. – Мой друг Джордж посоветовал мне взять пеший тур по Афинам с гидом.

4. A package holiday = a package tour – отпуск по путевке.

   Один из самых распространенных видов отдыха – это package holiday. Вы приобретаете путевку, в которую входят перелет, питание, размещение в гостинице и культурная программа.

   This travel agency offers the best package tours. – Это турагентство предлагает лучшие путевки.

5. A summer holiday – летний отпуск.

   Солнце, пляж, приятный морской бриз – все это можно найти в курортном городе (a holiday village / a holiday resort). Летом мы можем заняться водными видами спорта, такими как кайтсерфинг (kitesurfing), виндсерфинг (windsurfing), каякинг (kayaking). Еще больше о водных развлечениях вы узнаете из статьи «Typical summer activities: английский язык летом».

   – Where are you going to spend your summer holiday? – Где ты собираешься провести летний отпуск?
   – I’m thinking of visiting Spain. – Думаю посетить Испанию.

   Любители более традиционных и менее экстремальных развлечений могут поплавать в море или океане (to swim in the see / the ocean), позагорать на пляже (to sunbathe), отправиться на экскурсию (to go on an excursion) или посмотреть достопримечательности.

   – Let’s go windsurfing. It’s so exciting! – Давай займемся виндсерфингом. Это так увлекательно!
   – Are you crazy? It’s too dangerous! Let’s swim in the sea and then go on an excursion to the ancient city. – Ты с ума сошел? Это очень опасно! Давай поплаваем в море, а потом отправимся на экскурсию по древнему городу.

6. A winter holiday – зимний отпуск.

   Если вы не любите жару и хотите отдохнуть в холодное время года, для вас тоже придумали множество развлечений. Зимний отпуск можно посвятить катанию на лыжах (skiing), сноуборде (snowboarding), снегоходах (snowmobiling) или собачьих упряжках (dog sledding).

   I always take a winter holiday. Last year we went skiing and this year we want to go snowmobiling. – Я всегда беру зимний отпуск. В прошлом году мы катались на лыжах, а в этом году мы хотим поездить на снегоходах.

   Разные виды зимних игр описала наш преподаватель Марина в статье «Говорим о зимних развлечениях на английском языке».

   А для того чтобы вернуться домой живым и здоровым (to arrive home safe and sound), рекомендуем вам почитать статью о том, как избежать травм в зимних видах спорта.

7. A staycation – отпуск, проведенный дома.

   Для тех, кто проводит свой отпуск дома, в английском языке придумали слово с юмористическим оттенком – staycation: to stay (оставаться) + a vacation (отпуск). Обычно такой отпуск мы проводим дома и посещаем интересные места, которые находятся в нашем городе или неподалеку от него.

   Tomorrow I am going back to work after two weeks’ staycation. – Завтра я выхожу на работу после двухнедельного отпуска, проведенного дома.

   Для того чтобы не скучать в четырех стенах во время своего staycation, рекомендуем почитать статью «Let’s have some fun, или Все о развлечениях». В ней вы найдете множество интересных мероприятий, которые проходят в черте города или недалеко от него.

8. A daycation – отпуск на один день.

   А для тех, кого злой начальник не пускает в отпуск, придумали еще одно слово с юмористическим оттенком. Daycation – короткий отпуск, когда вы едете куда-то на один день и вечером возвращаетесь домой.

   I can’t take a holiday in July, but at least I can have a daycation. – Я не могу взять отпуск в июле, но я хотя бы могу устроить себе отпуск на один день.

9. A study tour – образовательная/учебная поездка.

   Такой вид отдыха предполагает, что вы отправляетесь в отпуск, чтобы учиться: посещать лекции, занятия и семинары.

   This summer I will undertake a study tour to Cambridge. – Этим летом я отправлюсь в учебную поездку в Кембридж.

10. A farm stay – отпуск на ферме.

    Должно быть, такой отпуск придумали те, кто скучает по каникулам у бабушки в деревне На ферме вы можете кормить животных (to feed animals), собирать урожай (to bring in crops) или просто отдыхать в качестве гостя.

    I’ve always liked country life. This autumn I’d like to have a farm stay. – Мне всегда нравилась сельская жизнь. Этой осенью мне бы хотелось провести отпуск на ферме.

Напоследок предлагаем посмотреть видео о 10 городах, которые стоят того, чтобы их посетить.

Надеемся, наша статья помогла вам определиться, как вы хотите отдохнуть в этом году. Не забудьте скачать таблицу и пройти тест, чтобы повторить слова на тему «Отдых и отпуск» на английском языке.
