"熱詞”解析

帶薪休假實際上并不是一個新詞,早在2008年,國家就出臺了《職工帶薪年休假條例》以保證員工的正當權利。上文中的第一句例句即引用自該條例的英文版。此處把帶薪年休假譯為“paid annual leave”,由此引申出來的年假即為“annual leave”。第二句例句引用自美聯(lián)社的一篇報道,可見帶薪休假英文表達為paid leave是通用的說法。

除了paid leave外,還有幾種可以表示帶薪休假的英文表達:paid vacation(美式用法),paid holiday(英式用法),paid time off(較口語)。

例句:

Mr. Saunders believes that he deserves more paid vacations.
桑德斯先生認為他理應得到更多的帶薪休假。

The Luxembourg-based court insisted that employers should honour workers’ rights to both time off sick and paid holidays.
這家位于盧森堡的法院堅持認為,雇主必須尊重員工休假期間生病補假和帶薪假期的權利。
