A timeshare is a holiday property — usually an apartment or a resort unit — that is owned by many people at once, each of whom has the right to use it for a fixed period every year, often one or two particular weeks. So the thing you buy is not really the flat; it is your slot in the calendar.

A timeshare Timeshare is是 a holiday property一種度假用的不動產 — usually an apartment or a resort unit通常是公寓或渡假村的一個單位 — that is owned by many people at once由很多人共同擁有 each of whom has the right to use it for a fixed period every year每個人每年都有權使用固定的一段時間 often one or two particular weeks通常是特定的一兩週。 So所以 the thing you buy is not really the flat你買的其實不是那間房子 it is your slot in the calendar而是你在行事曆上的那個時段。

The word covers both the property itself ('they own a timeshare in Kenting') and the arrangement ('we bought into a timeshare'). It also works as an adjective — a timeshare apartment, a timeshare contract — and occasionally as a verb, though that is uncommon.

The word這個字 covers both the property itself ('they own a timeshare in Kenting')既可以指這個不動產本身，像「they own a timeshare in Kenting」 and the arrangement ('we bought into a timeshare')也可以指這種安排本身，像「we bought into a timeshare」。 It它 also works as an adjective也可以當形容詞 a timeshare apartment, a timeshare contract像 a timeshare apartment、a timeshare contract and occasionally as a verb偶爾也當動詞用 though that is uncommon不過這樣用並不常見。

It matters that the word carries baggage. Timeshares were sold very aggressively from the 1970s onwards, often at high-pressure presentations offering a free gift or free meal, and many buyers found the yearly maintenance fees hard to escape and the contracts nearly impossible to sell on. Because of that history, 'timeshare' in English often arrives with a faint warning attached; 'a timeshare salesman' is close to a joke about pushy selling.

It matters重要的是 that the word carries baggage這個字帶著一些歷史包袱。 Timeshares從一九七〇年代起 were sold very aggressively from the 1970s onwards被非常強力推銷 often at high-pressure presentations offering a free gift or free meal常常是在提供免費禮物或免費餐點的高壓推銷場合裡賣出的 and many buyers found the yearly maintenance fees hard to escape and the contracts nearly impossible to sell on許多買家後來發現每年的維護費很難擺脫，合約也幾乎轉賣不出去。 Because of that history因為這段歷史 'timeshare' in English often arrives with a faint warning attached英文裡的 timeshare 常常帶著一絲警告的意味 'a timeshare salesman' is close to a joke about pushy selling「a timeshare salesman」幾乎已經變成強迫推銷的代名詞。
