Felix Salmon: 我认为假期长度应该根据目的地和旅行目的来决定。如果要去很远的地方,需要考虑时差的影响,给自己留出足够的时间来适应。同时,旅行时间也应该被计算在假期内,尽量避免把时间浪费在不愉快的交通上。我个人喜欢在旅行中阅读小说,两本小说的时间长度对我来说是一个完美的假期。 Emily Peck: 我认为假期长度应该根据个人的放松需求来决定。如果想要彻底放松,可能需要一周的时间才能进入状态,第二周才是真正享受假期的时候。但是,如果带着孩子一起旅行,就很难真正放松。此外,我也认为旅行不一定非得是忙碌的,可以像拜访朋友一样,悠闲地体验当地的文化和生活。克服时差也很重要,特别是往东飞的时候,要给自己留出足够的时间来适应。 Elizabeth Spiers: 我认为假期长度应该根据个人的工作和生活状态来决定。如果工作压力很大,可能需要更长的假期来放松身心。同时,我也认为在假期前后都应该安排一些特别的事情,这样可以延长假期的美好感觉。旅行时间也应该被考虑在内,尽量选择舒适的交通方式,避免长时间的飞行。
