参考翻译
为了假期，人们必须提前工作整整一周。这种安排并不局限于劳动节假期。根据每年的官方安排，法定假日前把周末调成工作日，上班族就可以享受“更长的假期”。这意味着，更长的假期要以更长的工作周为代价。然而，公众不是很接受这种安排。网上调查的调查对象中，高达75%的人表示不满这种假期安排，93%的人抱怨假期太短。很多人抱怨负责人的安排，呼吁更合理的假期安排。如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价，那么上班族会无力消受。
1.必须:除了用have to表达，还可用be forced to或feelobliged to表达。
2.不局限于:可以使用词组be not confined to或be notrestricted
to来表达，其中confine和restrict皆意为“限制，约束”。
3.“更长的假期”:翻译引号中的内容时可以采用so-called,例如“可以享受更长的假期,”就可以翻译can enjoy a so-called
longer holiday,这样可以表达出原文讽刺的语气。
4.以更长的工作周为代价:可译为at the price of a longer workweek。At the price
of意为“以…为代价”，也可用at the cost of来表达。
5.公众不是很接受这种安排:可译为has not been well received by the
public。其中receive意为“接受，认可”。
6.如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价…:可译为If holidays are coming along at the cost of an
evenheavier burden...
7.无力消受:可以理解为“很难让人从中得到享受”，故译为be hardly enjoyable。
