学日常口语：美国年轻人这样表达“放松”

　　1. Veg

　　Veg是vegetable的简略形式。Vegetable是蔬菜，长在地上的蔬菜是不能自由运动的，它静静地呆在原地不动。名义看来蔬菜被动呆板，但换个角度来想它们倒也活得安闲自在。Veg可引申为“什么也不干，什么也不想，完完全全地放松休息”。学日常口语例如：

　　我真高兴这个星期总算快过完了，这周的事件切实太多了。所以周末我准备待在家，什么也不干，我甚至不会去想下周要截止的那些工作。 英语之家www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　我一终日都在办公室里东奔西走，累去世了!喝一整壶咖啡都没法让我提起精神，我要直接回家休息，可能看一下电视就上床睡觉了。
