美国人的假期旅游
美国人的vacation中最常见的recreational activities (周末活动)就是
tour(旅游)了，他们一到周末就全家出游。

在美国人的日历上，大型假期每年多达十几个，而十有八九是和星期六、星期日两个双休日连在一起的，因此，这种日子被美国人称为“long weekend”(长周末)。

这种风俗也给美国的tourism(旅游业)带来了无限生机。

每到长周末，都
市里租车行的生意十分兴隆，其中可载多人的小型旅游车最为抢手。

在旅游旺季，租车人往往要提前一个多月预定才能租到合适的车。

工薪阶层的人往往采取坐长途汽车的办法出门旅行，收入不太高但又买得起汽车的人常常驾车出游，相对奢侈的旅行方式则是坐飞机。

乘飞机旅行的人享有快捷的优势。

美国境内各地机场附近都有数量极多、竞争激烈的租车公司，旅行者只要拿着钱和地图就可以在陌生的城市中租到一辆车尽情游玩。

相比之下，乘火车旅游的人寥寥无几。

现在，旅游对于美国人的意义干脆就是生活是否有品位的一个标准。

除了去周围的famous places of interest(名胜)游玩之外，美国人也会去海边、森林等地去享受大自然带来的宁静和休闲。
