    「weekday」指一週裡「不是星期六、也不是星期日」的日子，通常就是星期一到星期五。台灣口語常說「平日」，店家營業時間也常寫「工作日」。核心畫面可以想成「平常要上學／上班的那五天」——一對上 weekend（週末），意思就清楚了。常見說法：on a weekday（在某個平日）、on weekdays / every weekday（平日裡／每個平日）、weekday morning / evening（平日早上／晚上）。

core核心畫面

Picture the week cut into two blocks: five days when most people go to work or school, and two days when they do not. A weekday is any of the first five. The word is really defined by what it is next to — it only makes sense because English also has weekend, and the two together the week in half.

可以想成一個星期被切成兩塊：五天大多數人要上班上學，兩天不用。weekday 就是前面那五天裡的任何一天。這個字的意思其實是靠旁邊那個字撐起來的——因為英文有 weekend，才需要一個字來指剩下的那五天，兩個字合起來剛好把一週切開。
