Naturally, there were high expectations that people would embrace this extra time off, but at least during this initial period of adjustment, the new workweek has been the cause of many headaches. The least expected consequence of the lengthening of the weekend, an act which was intended to provide people with more opportunity for relaxation, has been the anxiety and irritability it has inspired.
許多人固然熱切期盼能擁抱這段美好時光，卻也在調適中衍生了不少實際問題。最讓人意外的是，增加周末的休閒時間，原意為讓國人藉此調整作息，使生活更安詳閒適，沒想到反而引起社會不少憂慮、躁動和混亂的情緒。
