请看《中国日报》的报道:

With the gloomy prospect of returning to work, many people could suffer post-holiday syndrome, experts said.

在上面的报道中,我们知道"假后综合症"就是post-holiday syndrome。The syndrome refers to a general feeling of depression before returning to work, which is caused by irregular lifestyles during the vacation. (假后综合症指的是在即将回去上班之前人们普遍感到的抑郁心情,通常是由度假期间不规律的生活方式导致的`),symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite and concentration, irritability and a feeling of helplessness.(假后综合症的症状包括感到疲惫、没有胃口、无法集中精力、易怒和无助感等)。

Post作为前缀有"在......之后"的意思,例如:post-disaster reconstruction等。Syndrome这个词大家也不陌生,AIDS(艾滋病)的全称就是acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,还有一度让人谈之色变的SARS"非典"--非典型性肺炎是Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromes。
