It is a very British word. American English prefers vacationer, or just tourist.

It is它是a very British word一個非常英式的字。American English美式英文prefers vacationer比較常用vacationer，or或就是just tourist用tourist。

Tourist is wider: a tourist might be in town for one afternoon. A holidaymaker is more “I am here on holiday.” You see it in British newspapers, especially in summer, when towns talk about holidaymakers crowding the beach or filling the hotels.

Tourist「tourist」觀光客is wider範圍比較廣：a tourist一個tourist might be in town for one afternoon可能只在城裡待一個下午。A holidaymaker而holidaymaker is more更接近“I am here on holiday”「我是來這裡度假的」這種感覺。You see it你會看到它in British newspapers出現在英國報紙裡，especially in summer尤其是夏天，when towns talk about holidaymakers當城鎮談到holidaymakers crowding the beach擠滿海灘or filling the hotels或住滿旅館的時候。

It is ordinary, not grand.

It is它是ordinary普通的，not grand不是什麼了不起的字。

The maker piece does not mean the person makes holidays for other people, like a factory. It is just the old English way of naming “the person who does this,” the same shape as troublemaker, but here it means the person on holiday.

The maker piece「maker」這部分does not mean並不代表the person這個人makes holidays for other people替別人製造假期，like a factory像工廠一樣。It is它只是just the old English way古老英文命名的方式of naming “the person who does this”命名「做這件事的人」，the same shape as troublemaker跟troublemaker結構一樣，but但here在這裡it means它指的是the person on holiday那個正在度假的人。
