"Although we had two Saturdays off in January, the second day of the New Year's holiday was canceled," says Miss Chen, a government employee. In the past, she and her husband typically took advantage of the two-day New Year's holiday in conjunction with the weekend to go south for three or four days to visit her mother.
「以一月來說，雖然有兩個星期六不用上班，可是元旦第二天的假日也取消了」，服務於公家單位的陳小姐表示，以往她都會利用元旦加上週末，長達三、四天假期和先生回南部娘家，今年反而無法成行。
