Saturday is the day that sits between Friday and Sunday. In most English-speaking places it is treated as the first full day of the weekend: many people are off work and school, shops are busy, and families go out.

Saturday is是 between Friday and Sunday夾在星期五和星期日中間 the day that sits的那一天。In most English-speaking places在大多數說英語的地方 it它 is treated as被當成 the weekend週末 the first full day完整的第一天: many people很多人 are off work and school不用上班、不用上課, shops商店 are busy很熱鬧, families全家人 go out會出門。

We write it with a capital S because it is a name, not an ordinary noun. We say on Saturday for one day and on Saturdays when we mean every week. In writing, Sat. is a common short form. In American speech people often drop on and treat the word almost like an adverb: See you Saturday.

We我們 with a capital S用大寫的 S write it來寫它, because因為 it is a name它是名字, not an ordinary noun不是普通名詞。We say我們說 on Saturday for one day是指某一天, and on Saturdays when we mean every week是指每個星期都如此。In writing在書寫裡, Sat. is a common short form是常見的縮寫。In American speech在美式口語裡 people人們 often常常 drop on把 on 省略, and treat the word almost like an adverb把這個字幾乎當副詞用: See you Saturday. 星期六見。

Though actually the ‘weekend’ feeling is not the whole story. In the Jewish calendar Saturday is the Sabbath, a holy day of rest, so the same word can carry a quiet, serious tone in that setting. In some countries the weekend itself falls on Friday and Saturday, not Saturday and Sunday. None of that changes the simple fact: it is the day after Friday and before Sunday.

Though actually不過其實 the ‘weekend’ feeling「週末」這種感覺 is not the whole story並不是全部。In the Jewish calendar在猶太曆裡 Saturday is是 the Sabbath安息日, a holy day of rest一個神聖的休息日, so所以 the same word同一個字 in that setting在那個場合 can carry可能帶著 a quiet, serious tone安靜、莊重的語氣。In some countries在有些國家 the weekend itself週末本身 falls on Friday and Saturday落在星期五和星期六, not Saturday and Sunday而不是星期六和星期日。None of that這些都 changes不會改變 the simple fact這個簡單的事實: it is它是 after Friday星期五之後 and before Sunday、星期日之前 the day的那一天。
