Mostly met in the fixed phrase unsocial hours: work times that fall outside the normal working day — nights, very early mornings, weekends, holidays — when most other people are free and at home. Nurses, factory workers, cleaners, taxi drivers and hotel staff work unsocial hours. The word names the real cost: not that the work is hard, but that it cuts you off from the people you would otherwise see. That is why jobs often pay an 'unsocial hours allowance' — extra money for the time, not the task. The phrase is more common in British English; Americans usually say odd hours, off hours, or the night shift. Outside this phrase, unsocial can be used of a person the way unsociable is, but that use is less common today and can read as a mistake, so keep unsocial for hours and unsociable for people.
（工時）非正常時段的、不合常人作息的；常見於 unsocial hours（例如需要輪大夜班、假日上班）
