“黑色星期一”、“快乐星期五”应该已经是放之四海而皆准的说法了。Friday对于上班族的意义就是工作日暂停，休息日来临。其实，自从有了几个小长假以来，不一定只有周五才标志休息日的到来。只要是长假前的最后一个工作日，我们都可以把它当成Friday来庆祝。在西方，这样的日子被称为virtual Friday，“虚拟星期五”，自然就不是真正的星期五了。Virtual Friday is the last day before an extended weekend, if that day is not a “real” Friday. For example, the US holiday Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The next day is often also a holiday or taken as an extra day off, in which case Wednesday of that week is a virtual Friday.Virtual Friday指延长了的周末假期前的最后一个工作日，而且这一天并不是周五。比如，美国过感恩节的时候，周四节日当天要放假，第二天一般都会连着休息。这样一来，感恩节之前的那个周三就可以被称为virtual Friday。其实，简单来说，就是咱们即将到来的周末小长假如果是从周五开始的话，那么周四就可以叫做virtual Friday。
