“have…off”是英语中表示“休息、放假(某段时间/某个节日)”的常用短语,核心含义是“拥有(某段时间的)休息权”或“被允许不工作/不上学”。
强调“获得(或本身拥有)某段时间的休息/假期”,通常指因工作、学校安排或个人申请而得到的休息时间。
“have…off”的结构为:
其中:
时间/节日:可以是时间段(a day, two weeks, the weekend等)、具体日期(tomorrow, Friday等)或节日名称(Christmas, New Year’s Day等);
off:副词,作宾语补足语,补充说明“时间/节日”的状态是“休息、不工作”。
I need to have a few days off to take care of my sick mom.(我需要请几天假照顾生病的妈妈。)
We had two weeks off for summer vacation last year.(去年暑假我们放了两周假。)
She usually has one day off every week.(她每周通常休息一天。)
Do you have Friday off?(你周五休息吗?)
He has tomorrow off because he worked overtime yesterday.(他明天休息,因为昨天加班了。)

Most people have Christmas off in Western countries.(西方国家大多数人圣诞节放假。)

否定句:在have前加don’t/doesn’t/didn’t(根据主语和时态调整)。
例:I don’t have Monday off this week.(我这周周一不休息。)
He didn’t have any days off last month.(他上个月没有休息天。)
疑问句:将助动词do/does/did提前(或直接用have的疑问形式,若have为助动词)。
例:Do you have the day off today?(你今天休息吗?)
Did she have Labor Day off?(她劳动节放假了吗?)两者都表示“休息/请假”,但侧重点不同:
have…off:强调“已经拥有”休息时间(可能是公司/学校安排的,或已申请通过);
例:I have Friday off(我周五本来就休息/已获准周五休息)。
take…off:强调“主动申请”休息(动作);
例:I’m going to take Friday off(我打算请周五的假)。
“have…off”是日常表达中描述“休息/放假”状态的实用短语,只要记住“时间/节日”放在have和off之间,就能轻松使用~
