工作压力太大、生活节奏太紧张的时候，大家都会渴望假期。可是，等假期真正到来的时候，想睡懒觉却睡不着了，什么活都不干却落得腰酸背疼，看到垂涎已久的美食也兴奋不起来。这到底是怎么了？难道是得了leisure sickness（休闲病）？

Leisure sickness has been identified by the Dutch psychologist Professor Ad Vingerhoets of Tilburg University. Its symptoms can include nausea¹, fatigue², headaches, and recurrent infections that appear whenever the stress of the working week is suddenly removed, either at the weekend or at the beginning of holidays.

Leisure sickness（休闲病）是由荷兰蒂尔堡大学心理学教授Ad Vingerhoets命名的。其症状包括恶心、疲惫、头痛以及重复感染等，周末或假期初期工作压力刚解除的时候，这些症状就会出现。

The other sort of leisure sickness is found among men and women who have become tired of the rat race and who have downshifted to enjoy a quieter life, only to find themselves suffering from these recurrent minor³ illnesses plus boredom⁴ and depression.

另一种休闲病常见于那些厌倦了职场竞争，选择放慢脚步享受宁静生活的人身上，通常表现为小病不断，情绪低落，生活无趣。
