一提起度假，我們很自然地就想到甜蜜的二人世界，其實(shí)整個(gè)家族一起度假，可以拼車拼房拼伙食，也是一種省錢(qián)又充滿人情味的度假方式，這就是greycation（同堂假期）。

Greycation is a family vacation which is spent with grandparents in an effort to share costs.

同堂假期是和祖父母一起度假來(lái)分擔(dān)費(fèi)用的家庭假期。

An estimated 2.7 million families are planning to holiday in the UK this year with children, parents and grandparents all in the same resort, according to a survey. Researchers say that total has soared this year thanks to the rising price of foreign holidays and the opportunities for sharing costs on a greycation.

據(jù)調(diào)查，英國(guó)今年預(yù)計(jì)有270萬(wàn)個(gè)家庭計(jì)劃和孩子、父母及祖父母在同一地方度假。調(diào)查者稱，選擇同堂度假的人數(shù)增多，一方面是因?yàn)榫惩庥蔚膬r(jià)格上漲，另一方面是因?yàn)榭梢苑謸?dān)開(kāi)支。

In addition to the economic benefits of multi-generational vacationing, many of those surveyed said greycations were appealing because they allowed grandparents and grandchildren to spend more time together.

此外，許多受訪者稱，同堂假期這么有吸引力，除了經(jīng)濟(jì)利益方面的原因，還因?yàn)檫@種假期讓祖父母和孫子孫女有更多的時(shí)間共處。
