In a nation where people work more than anyone else in the industrialized world, the two-day weekend helps keep us sane. 工业化世界，大家都争相拼工作量，在这样的国家里，双休日有助我们保持理智。 No matter how exhausted you are at your nine-to-five, the promise of two full days set aside for socializing, sleeping in, and brunching in the afternoon always looms on the horizon. 无论你朝九晚五有多劳累，都保证能匀出两整天时间参与社交、睡个懒觉、下午的时候早餐午餐并作一顿，而这正有愈演愈烈之势。 People working 200 years ago weren't so lucky.The modern work week began to emerge during the industrial revolution—thanks in part to our hard-partying predecessors. 两百多年前的人可没那么幸运。现代工作周在工业革命期间应运而生，这多亏了我们夜夜笙歌的先祖们。 |
