“调休”也是一个非常有中国特色的表达，英语里面找不到完全等效的概念。
Peng Han, chief analyst at Travel Daily, said that public opinion shows a strong desire for policy adjustments regarding the “make-up working day” mode. 因此，如果要表达“调休日”，则可以说 “make-up working days”或者 “make-up workdays”。
英语里面有“make-up time”这样的说法，它指的是人们通过加班来填补之前请假的时间。比如某一天你因为个人原因请假了三个小时，那么你可以选择在后面某个工作日加班三个小时，用来填补中间缺失的时间。这样安排既可以给员工更大的自由度，也可以保证工作产出。
向祖国“花式”告白
Wherever our gaze falls, it is all China; wherever the Five Stars shine, it is all faith.
目光所至，皆为华夏；五星闪耀，皆为信仰。
Looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, the Chinese people will overcome difficulties and achieve prosperity.
回首过去，展望未来。中华民族共克时艰，再创辉煌。
The people have faith; the nation has hope; the country has power.
人民有信仰，民族有希望，国家有力量。
Every individual is responsible for the fate of their country.
国家兴亡，匹夫有责。
If one color can represent faith, it must be Chinese red!
如果信仰有颜色，那一定是中国红！
Patriotism is the deepest emotion; struggle is the longest confession of love.
爱国是最深沉的情感，奋斗是最长情的告白。
May the mountains and rivers be beautiful; May our country and people enjoy the peace! May our motherland prosper forever!
唯愿山河锦绣，国泰民安！祝愿我们的祖国繁荣昌盛！
祝福我们的祖国国泰民安
家和国兴旺，月圆人安康

翻译原文2：
黄金周（the Golden Week）是指连续7天的全国性假期。1999年，中国开始推行黄金周政策。从那以后，黄金周通过鼓励人们旅游和消费，丰富了人们的日常生活，促进了社会经济的发展。然而不可否认，黄金周带来的问题也日益明显：交通拥堵、旅游景点人满为患以及物价上涨。2012年，中国政府宣布重大节假日期间全国高速公路免收通行费，其中就包括春节和国庆两个7天假期，这一政策从某种程度上又导致了出行车辆和人数的增加。
参考译文：
The Golden Week refers to a consecutive seven-day national holiday. In 1999, China started to carry out the Golden Week policy. Since then, the Golden Week has enriched people’s daily life and promoted the development of social economy by encouraging people to travel and spend. Nevertheless, there is no denying that the problems caused by the Golden Week have become increasingly apparent, such as the traffic jams, overcrowded tourist spots and rising prices. In 2012, the Chinese government announced that expressways nationwide would be toll-free during important holidays, including the two seven-day holidays around the Spring Festival and the National Day, which, to some degree led to the highly increased number of vehicles and people going out.
