全世界都少了一个“黄金周”

And Then There Were Two

去年在伦敦采访的时候。旅游局的工作人员问我有多少中国人会选择在golden week出国旅游？我一时没听明白golden week是指什么日子．他继续解释道：就是你们中国特有的the seven—day holidays。这才恍然大悟他是说7天“黄金周”。“黄金周”从1999年开始后。我陆续去过几十个国家．这还是第一次听到老外用专门的一个单词来命名它．我的反应够慢的．他们的反应就更慢了。

The world＇s tourism industry face a new shockwave as China axes its Labour Day golden week just as they are getting used to the influx of Chinese holiday-makers during the country＇s three week-long holidays every year.
