Spring break
의미: A one- to two-week vacation from school in the spring, famous in American culture for college party trips.
Spring break in America is more than a school vacation — it's a cultural phenomenon. For college students, it means trips to Florida, Cancún, or wherever the party is. For families, it's a time for vacations. The phrase has become synonymous with wild partying and youthful freedom in American culture.
