一眨眼假期结束了。
该收心回来学习啦，快来领取本周的返程词汇吧！
1. Party is over!
一个非常符合大家现在心境的短语，不止是字面意思上的派对结束。一起看下英文解释：a period of freedom, enjoyment, very good luck,etc. has now come to an end and life is about to return to normal 没错，就是快乐的日子告一段落，该收收心干正事了。
e.g. We had a whale of time while the manager was away, but now the party’s over.
经理不在的时候我们玩得挺高兴，不过现在该开始干正事了。
注：have a whale of time 玩得开心。
2. Shuttle /'??t(?)l/
n. 往来于两地之间的航班(或班车、火车)；
常见的搭配：shuttle bus/flight/ train/ service
e.g. That's the Airport Shuttle that will take you from the airport right to your hotel or private address. It’s a door-to-door service and it would suit you much better, because there's one every two hours. (剑7T1S1)
原题：
Airport shuttle: __________ service.
正确答案: door-to-door 上门服务 （一定不要忘记连字符，三个词连起来修饰service.）
Shuttle 也可以作为动词使用，

4. Space out
