同堂假期 Greycation 一提起度假,我们很自然地就想到甜蜜的二人世界,其实整个家族一起度假,可以拼车拼房拼伙食,也是一种省遥又充满人情味的度假方式,这就是greycation(同堂假期)。 Greycation is a family vacation which is spent with grandparents in an effort to share costs. 同堂假期是和祖父母一起度假来分担费用的家庭假期。 An estimated 2. 7 million families are planning to holiday in the UK this year with children, parents and grandparents all in the same resort, according to a survey. Researchers say that total has soared this year thanks to the rising price of foreign holidays and the opportunities for sharing costs on a greycation. 据调查,英国今年预计有270万个家庭计划和孩子、父母及祖父母在同一地方度假。 调查者称,选择同堂度假的人数增多,一方面是因为境外游的遥上涨,另一方面是因为可以分担开支。 In addition to the economic benefits of multi-generational vacationing, many of those surveyed said greycations were appealing because they allowed grandparents and grandchildren to spend more time together. 此外,许多受访者称,同堂假期这么有吸引力,除了经济利益方面的原因,还因为这种假期让祖父母和孙子孙女有更多的时间共处。
