The United States is the only developed country in the world without a single legally required paid vacation day or holiday. By law, every country in the European Union has at least four work weeks of paid vacation.
美國是世界上唯一一個(gè)沒有專門法律規(guī)定帶薪假期的發(fā)達(dá)國家。根據(jù)法律規(guī)定,歐盟每一個(gè)國家都有至少四周的帶薪假期。

Several nations providing workers with a great deal of time off can afford to be generous. Still, some nations giving workers a generous combination of paid, legally-protected vacation days and holidays currently are struggling economically.
有幾個(gè)國家能為工人提供大量的休假時(shí)間,這幾個(gè)國家可以說是慷慨的。然而,一些國家雖然能為工人提供受法律保護(hù)的帶薪假期,但當(dāng)前這些國家在經(jīng)濟(jì)上卻都捉襟見肘。

Because time-off is time not spent productively working, it would seem to be an expense that countries with struggling economies cannot afford.
由于休假期間不會用來從事創(chuàng)造經(jīng)濟(jì)價(jià)值的工作,對那些經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入困境的國家而言,休假似乎成為了他們負(fù)擔(dān)不起的代價(jià)。

But experts expressed doubt that the overall effect of extra time off on the economy is negative. Schmitt said: "paid vacation and holidays don't appear to have any meaningful impact on macroeconomic outcomes."
不過,額外的假期對經(jīng)濟(jì)的整體影響是消極的,專家對這種說法持懷疑態(tài)度。施密特表示:“帶薪假期似乎并不會為宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)果帶來任何重大影響?!?/div>

These are the countries where workers get the most time off.
