The concept of "gap days" (appear) on a variety of social media platforms recently. Unlike a gap year, a gap day means an (extreme) brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to devote (they) to the busy pace of normal life.

Apart from "gap days", other similar expressions have made hit on the Internet, such as "city walk", "da zi (activity partner)" and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases or euphemisms (委婉语) for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused (heat) discussion.

Some people think that these kinds of new phrases better cater to (迎合) people's mindsets, (show) their optimism. For example, the common expression "taking a walk" is neutral (中性的). But "city walk" (be) the positive version of it, meaning "to explore the city with a curious mind".

Others disagree, however, and think that it's simply just a kind of "sugaring up", satisfying one's need for showing off. For example, "city walk" is the same as "taking a walk" general. But by calling it a "city walk", people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is.

But no matter how we think of these phrases, they have taken root in our daily lives and have already gained wide  (recognize) among the younger generation. So  we need to do is not make them out to be bigger than they actually are.
