Two everyday uses, and which one you meet depends on where you are. The main one: a person who is only somewhere at weekends. Think of a small seaside town where a few hundred people live all year and a few thousand arrive on Friday night — the locals call those arrivals weekenders, sometimes , often not, because weekenders push up house prices and vanish on Sunday. The word carries that faint edge of "not really one of us".
Two everyday uses有兩個日常用法, and which one you meet depends on where you are你會遇到哪一個要看你人在哪裡. The main one主要的用法: a person who is only somewhere at weekends指只有週末才會出現在某個地方的人. Think of a small seaside town想像一個海邊小鎮 where a few hundred people live all year平常只有幾百人常住 and a few thousand arrive on Friday night週五晚上卻湧入好幾千人 — the locals call those arrivals weekenders當地人把這些人叫做weekenders, sometimes warmly, often not有時是善意的，但常常不是, because weekenders push up house prices and vanish on Sunday因為weekenders把房價推高，週日一到又消失不見. The word carries that faint edge of這個字帶著一絲的味道 "not really one of us"'不是自己人'.
The other use, especially in Australia and Britain, is for the things belonging to a weekend away: a weekender bag is a small bag holding just enough for two nights, and in Australia a weekender can be the little holiday house itself. In some places people also call a short trip a weekender — "we're doing a weekender in Tainan".

In some places在某些地方, people also call a short trip a weekender人們也會把一趟短程旅行叫做weekender — "we're doing a weekender in Tainan""we're doing a weekender in Tainan"（我們要去台南來個週末小旅行）.
