なぜ多くの人が休暇中に普段と違う行動をとるのか

0:00 / 0:00

Many people change how they act when they go on holiday. A new study shows that six out of ten travelers deliberately behave differently away from home.

deliberately= 意図的に、故意に

Travelers often feel free to break their usual daily routines. For example, almost four out of ten people buy items they do not need because the items remind them of the trip. Other people stay out late at night because they do not want to waste their holiday time.

feel free to= ためらいなく自由に行動できる

Some travelers feel surprised by their choices after they return home. The study suggests that our habits at home are more flexible than we think.

flexible= 状況に応じて柔軟に変わることができる

  • •「deliberately」(意図的に)という語は日常の無意識な習慣と対比されており、旅先での意識的なアイデンティティの変化を強調しています。
