　　精彩對白：

　　Andrew: Just now we mentioned tour and independent

　　travelling.We also have two concept of traveller and

　　tourist, very similar to what you have said. Tourist

　　are somebody taking seats on the bus and taking

　　photos. While travellers are those who go

　　independently, going to the quiet place where they

　　personally interest in.

　　Zhao Yinqi: We use holiday and vacation a lot. What's

　　the difference between the two words?

　　Andrew: The main reason is that holiday is british

　　English and vacation is American English. That's the

　　main difference. There is also slightly a difference

　　feeling about them. Holiday originally means Holy Day.

　　Because Holy Day was also holiday. While vacation

　　means to be empty.

　　Gong Yanling: You get a few days off from your work.

　　That is a vacation.

　　Andrew: But the meaning is the same nowadays, just

　　vacation in the US whereas holiday in English.

　　Probably the difference between holiday and vacation

　　is the usage. If you say "I am going to go on a

　　holiday." or "I am going to be on a holiday." These

　　are two different meanings. To be on holiday, actually

　　means you are not working, you do not have to work.

　　Whereas to go on a holiday means you are going to

　　travel somewhere else.
