對(duì)女孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，幾個(gè)閨密湊在一起出去度假，晚上聚在一個(gè)屋子里來(lái)個(gè)girl talk，這是再正常不過(guò)的事了。不過(guò)，近幾年，這種做法開(kāi)始在男同胞中間流行起來(lái)。幾個(gè)哥們兒相約出去度假，來(lái)個(gè)地道的mancation，聽(tīng)著好像也不錯(cuò)哦。

The concept of a gender specific trip has been around since the first caveman took his club and went hunting with the others in the tribe. Yet, mancation has become a buzzword in the travel business lately.
雖說(shuō)同性出游這樣的形式在人類(lèi)始祖山頂洞人拿著棍棒跟部落同伴出去狩獵的時(shí)期就已經(jīng)存在了，“男性假期”（mancation）這個(gè)詞在旅游業(yè)開(kāi)始流行卻是最近才有的事兒。

Tapping into the success of marketing all-girls getaway packages, hotels and resorts have started featuring all-male bonding vacation packages that include everything from poker, to extreme sports, to spa treatments. Golfing is the most popular activity for all-male vacation groups, but destinations have developed unique programs to accommodate the growing trend. The latest mancation packages offer spiritual healing, culinary instruction, and yoga.
酒店和景點(diǎn)從之前開(kāi)發(fā)女性出游計(jì)劃的成功案例中獲得靈感，開(kāi)始策劃只有男性團(tuán)體參加的度假方案，內(nèi)容包括撲克游戲、極限運(yùn)動(dòng)以及水療等。高爾夫是男性度假團(tuán)體最喜歡的項(xiàng)目，不過(guò)很多景點(diǎn)都開(kāi)發(fā)了一些獨(dú)特的項(xiàng)目來(lái)吸引日漸壯大的這一度假群體。最新推出的項(xiàng)目有精神治療、烹飪培訓(xùn)以及瑜伽等。
