Festival、Vacation、Holiday用法有什么区别?

festival一般是指节日,与holiday和vacation有比较明显的区别。请看以下比较。holiday(holidays),leave,vacation 这三个词都有“假日(期)”的意思,但含义用法并不相同。holiday(holidays)一般指“休假”Tom and I are going to have a holiday。我和汤姆准备去度假。I've already had my holidays this year。我今年已经度过假了。During a holiday in Sweden,I found this note on my car。在瑞典度假期间,我在我的车子上发现了这张字条。Postcards always spoil my holidays。明信片总是弄得我过不好假日。My holidays passed quickly,but I did not send any cards to my friends。我的假日过的很快,但是我一张明信片也没有寄给朋友。注：have a (或one's)holiday 度假,during a holiday 在一次假期中。这种用法的holiday 总用单数形式,但并不只是“一天”假。复数形式的holidays 泛指“假日”,如summer holidays 暑假。但“Sunday is a holiday ”中的holiday 却是“一天”的假。leave 指“请假”,被批准后离开自己的工作的一段时间He stays at home on sick leave。他请了病假呆在家里。He asked for a six months' leave。他请了6个月的假。而 vacation 在英国指大学的寒暑假或法定不工作的日子,美国可指任何假日（期）The students are planning how to spend their summer vacation。费勒先生在度假。
