It’s summer, in the northern hemisphere(半球) at least, which means emptier offices and fuller airports. In theory, a holiday is a time to properly relax. In practice, there are several stages to pass through before that moment arrives, and several more to experience before you are fully immersed(沉浸，专心于) in work again.
至少在北半球，现在是夏天，这意味着办公室更空，机场更满。理论上，假期是好好放松的时候。实际上，在那一刻到来之前，你需要经历几个阶段；而在你重新完全投入工作之前，还要经历更多阶段。
The preparation phase. You badly(非常，极度) need a holiday. In your final couple of days before leaving, you complete your most urgent tasks, like tidying your desk. You tell people on your team that you trust them completely and in the same breath(紧接着，同时), that they should contact you if anything comes up, no matter how trivial(琐碎的，不重要的). As a result, they don’t feel trusted at all. You think about setting up an out-of-office message(自动回复邮件) and decide not to: it’s really not a problem to check your phone occasionally. As you leave the office, you think you feel a cold coming on(开始，出现（疾病等）).
准备阶段。你急需一个假期。在离开前的最后几天，你完成最紧急的任务，比如整理办公桌。你告诉团队成员你完全信任他们，但紧接着又说，如果有什么事情发生，无论多琐碎，都要联系你。结果，他们根本不觉得被信任。你想设置自动回复邮件，但又决定不设：偶尔看看手机真的没问题。当你离开办公室时，你觉得自己好像要感冒了。
The relax-like-hell(拼命放松) phase. You spend the first few days approaching the holiday like it’s work. You spend loads of time asking AI models for places to go that are off the beaten track(人迹罕至的，小众的). In a typical morning, you drive two hours to eat breakfast at a place recommended by ChatGPT which turns out to be closed, and then visit a museum devoted(专用于，献身于) to the ancient craft of curing(腌制，熏制) fish.
“拼命放松”阶段。假期头几天，你像对待工作一样对待假期。你花大量时间问AI模型有哪些小众景点。一个典型的早晨，你开车两小时去ChatGPT推荐的地方吃早餐，结果发现那里关门了，然后去参观一个专门展示古代腌鱼工艺的博物馆。
