十一假期快到了，你打算去哪里玩呢？有人可能要出國游、有人要去外地景點看看，不過也有人決定干脆在家待著，度過一個安靜又不擁擠的staycation。

A staycation (or stay-cation, or stacation) is a neologism for a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in the financial crisis of 2007–2009 in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.

Staycation（家中度假，還可以拼為stay-cation或stacation）是2007年到2009年經(jīng)濟危機期間失業(yè)率和油價不斷攀升的情況下迅速走紅的一個詞，指一個人或一家人待在家里休息或者在附近區(qū)域景點游覽度假的一段時光。

Common activities of a staycation include use of the backyard pool, visits to local parks and museums, and attendance at local festivals. Some staycationers also like to follow a set of rules, such as setting a start and end date, planning ahead, and avoiding routine, with the goal of creating the feel of a traditional vacation.
