五一劳动节和“调休” May 1 Labor Day and “Switched Days Off”


Listen Later

Hello everyone! In this episode, I talk about May 1 Labor Day—China’s upcoming “5-day” holiday, which in fact is only 3 days because during the two weeks before and after the holiday, people need to work for 6 days (one weekend day each week) to make up for the “lost” 2 days that make the holiday 5 days. 

大家好,大家这周过得怎么样?我们学校刚过了春假,在暑假以前基本没有假期了。不过在中国,马上要有一个小长假:那就是五一劳动节,在每年的5月1日。五一劳动节是一个国际节日,是世界上80多个国家的劳动节。国际劳动节起源于1886年的美国,是为了纪念当时美国各地的工人为了要求八小时工作日举行的罢工运动。

  1. 劳动 láodòng: labor
  2. 起源于 qǐyuán yú: originates in
  3. 国际节日 guójì jiérì: international festival 
  4. 纪念 jìniàn: commemorate 
  5. 工人 gōngrén: worker
  6. 罢工 bàgōng: strike, refuse to work
  7. 运动 yùndòng: movement


劳动节翻译过来就是Labor Day。作为起源地,美国也有自己的劳动节。美国的劳动节是每年九月的第一个星期一。每年的日期不一样。因为是星期一,所以就有劳动节长周末。相比之下,中国的劳动节每年的日期是一样的,都是5月1日。

  1. 翻译过来Fānyì guòlái: translated into
  2. 日期 rìqí: date (mm/dd)
  3. 相比之下 xiāng bǐ zhī xià: by comparison 


我小的时候,五一假期比现在长,有一个星期。现在只有五天了。而且还要“放假调休”。那你可能就问了,放假就放假,怎么还有“调休”?“调” 就是调整,“休” 就是休假,休息。“调休” 就是调整你休息的日期。比如,2022年的五一劳动节假期是从4月30日到5月4日,一共五天。但是,不是简单地放五天假。为了能连着放五天(假),中国人需要在4月24日星期日和5月7号星期六上班。所以其实只有三天假期,因为4月24日和5月7日本来就是周末。现在却要上班。听到这里,你是不是觉得很奇怪?为什么要这样呢?真的还不如从5月2号到4号放三天(假)呢!因为这个“调休”,意味着五一假期的前面和后面两周你都要工作6天!所以很多中国人不喜欢这个政策。如果是我,我也更愿意放三天假,而不是为了五天的假期“调休”。现在中国的很多长假都要“调休”。中国最长的两个假期—春节和国庆节—虽然都是7天的假期,但是跟劳动节一样,都需要在前后两周上六天班。

  1. 放假 fàngjià: have time off
  2. 调休 diào xiū: switch vacation days 
  3. 调整 tiáozhěng: adjust 
  4. 连着 liánzhe: in continuous manner
  5. 却 què: yet, but
  6. 不如 bùrú: not as good as; it’s be better to 
  7. 意味着 yìwèizhe: (it)means to 
  8. 政策 zhèngcè: policy
  9. 国庆节 guóqìng jié: national day celebration 


那今天关于中国劳动节和“调休”就跟大家聊到这里。对于过五一劳动节的朋友,祝你们节日快乐。希望大家下周一切顺利!如果有什么问题和建议,欢迎给我发电子邮件。我们下期节目再见!

  1. 一切顺利 yī qiè shùn lì: everything goez smoothly
