Together是“一起”的意思。Togethering是什么意思呢?请看对话:
A: What’s your plan for the weeklong holiday?
B: I’m planning to travel to some cozy place with my extended family.
A: I recommend you go to Yunnan. Dali’s cozy cabins, lodges, condos, and homes are ideal togethering spots for heartwarming getaways.
Note: “Togethering” means vacationing with one’s extended family or friends. The word in this sense was unleashed upon the world in an October 2003 press release from Walt Disney World announcing the company’s “Magical Gatherings” program. The term has been trademarked by the travel marketing firm Yesawich, Pepperdine, Brown & Russell in the United States. However, the earliest citation for this sense came in 2002 and the word itself had been around since at least the 1985 release of the album “Togethering” by jazz musicians Kenny Burrell and Grover Washington, Jr.
