English term

Stay-cation

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) survey
Stay-cations on the rise
Of those respondents who say they have taken less vacation time this year, 65 percent say it is because they do not have the money to take a vacation. Likewise, of those who have taken vacations closer to home (within 200 miles), 38 percent say it is due to the higher price of gas.
"A lot of research points to the importance of taking vacation," says Maroney. "Vacations enable workers to re-charge their creativity, avoid burn-out and return to work with a fresh perspective. If you don't have the money to travel, consider taking a ‘stay-cation' where you take time off but stay at home or closer to home. It's still time away from work, and that alone has benefit."

在家度假

我觉得翻译成“在家度假”比较好一些。

我觉得“Stay-cation"这个新造的词中的stay 主要还是指 stay at home 。
