relationship sabbaticals 恋情休假

“我选择去洛杉矶，你一个人要飞向巴黎，尊重各自的决定，维持和平的爱情……”伴侣分开旅行，来段“恋情休假”不仅存在于歌曲里，生活中也有不少伴侣选择定期分开旅行，只要做好规划，理清思绪，与恋人小别一下也许是不错的主意。

如今，“恋情休假”日益流行。十年前，仅有10%的伴侣会分开旅行，如今这一比例增加到30%，而且还在不断增长。

If your thing is museums and art galleries and the razzmatazz of a city, while your husband is happier fishing in solitary³ splendour on a Scottish river, then why not go separately? It will benefit both of you to pursue⁴ what you love.

如果你喜欢逛博物馆和艺术馆，欣赏城市的活力，而你的丈夫更喜欢在苏格兰河边的安静之处钓鱼，那么你们为什么不分开旅行呢？这对你们追求自己所爱都有好处。
