16.Many Europeans have not only weekends and bank holidays but also five to seven weeks paid leave.Usually parents plan to spend three or four weeks with the family in summer.Because of my earlier years in China,I found it difficult to understand the European attitude towards holidays.During my childhood in the 1960s,my parents were always busy with work and meetings.I was left alone with Grandma.The only long period of time we could get together once a year was the Spring Festival.I missed our parents badly,but didn't say so because I had been told that hard work was everyone's duty and that we could not have our own small family without a big family.
Later I was a hard-working student at university.I was always told holidays were a waste of time and I felt as if I had done something wrong if I did nothing during a holiday.
I didn't change this idea until I met my boss abroad.When I called him at home after office hours for business,he politely told me he preferred talking about work with me in the office.
When the holiday season came near,he asked me to plan my holidays.He told me holiday was a right for everyone.

分析 许多欧洲人不仅有周末和银行假期,而且还有五到七周的带薪休假.通常父母计划在夏天和家人待三到四周.因为我前几年在中国,我发现很难理解欧洲人对假期的态度.
在20世纪60年代在我的童年,我的父母总是忙于工作和会议.我独自一人和奶奶在一起.我们一年只能相聚一次是春节.我很想念我们的父母,但没有这么说,因为有人告诉我,努力工作是每个人的职责,我们不能只顾自己的小家庭而不顾一个大家庭.
后来我在大学是一个勤奋的学生.我总是告诉假日是浪费时间,我觉得好像我做错了什么,如果我在假期什么都没有做.
直到我在国外遇到我的老板,我才改变了这个想法.当我下班后在家里给他打电话时,他礼貌地告诉我他更喜欢和我在办公室谈论工作.
假期临近时,他让我计划假期.他告诉我假期是每个人的权利.
放弃公司的假期是鼓励在中国,但这里是愚蠢的.我开始考虑假期.
现在中国人周末长,带薪假期.但是他们利用假期享受家庭生活吗?我希望如此,因为我在中国和欧洲的经历帮助我明白工作不是我生活的全部,一个家庭也很重要.我不想在未来感到遗憾,我当然尽可能花尽可能多的时间与我的儿子在一起.
努力工作或度假没有错,但我们不应该有一个代替另一个.在工作和娱乐之间保持平衡是很重要的.
