休講
Significado: A cancelled class or lecture — one of the most celebrated words in a university student's vocabulary.
休講 is the official term for when a professor cancels a scheduled lecture. Reasons include illness, academic conferences, typhoons, or transportation disruptions. For students, a 休講 notification is a cause for celebration — especially for early morning classes. Universities typically post 休講 information on bulletin boards or portal sites. While officially regrettable, students often secretly hope for 休講, especially during exam preparation periods when self-study time is precious.
