If you're feeling over-worked and in desperate need of a holiday you're not alone - the English are the hardest working nation in Europe, taking the least number of paid and public holidays, according to new research.

如果你覺得過度勞累，急需休假，那么你并不孤單——一項新的研究表明，英國人是全歐洲干得最多、帶薪假和公休假最少的人。

The survey revealed workers in England get a minimum of just 28 days leave, compared to residents in Sweden and Portugal, who are given the most, with 39 days.

該調查顯示，英國工人一年最少只有28天假，相較之下，瑞典人和葡萄牙人的節假日最多，他們最少有39天。

The average leave and public holiday entitlement is 34 days across Europe, according to research by Hotels.com. That means UK workers lose out on more than a week away from the office and work at least six days more than their typical continental counterpart.

酒店預訂網站Hotels.com開展的這項研究表明，歐洲年假和公休假的天數平均為34天。這意味著與歐洲其他國家相比，英國人的休假時間起碼少了一星期，而工作時間則至少多六天。
