three days' holiday/ a three-day holiday

three days' holiday 前面应该没有冠词吧？国内有些语法书籍说 a three days' holiday.实际上国外一般是使用a three-day holiday。很少使用属格形式，就算使用也是直接用three days' holiday 。

I have a three-day(week) holiday.

I have three days'(weeks') holiday.

I have a three-day(week) holiday.

I have three days'(weeks') holiday.

【答】在“基数词 + 时间名词复数形式的所有格 + holiday”前面不用冠词。例如：

She'll have four weeks' holiday next year. 她明年有四个星期的假。（摘自《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》）（= She'll have a four-week holiday next year.）

关于“3天假期”的英文翻译，目前可以有4种表达。例如：

1. I've got three days' holiday.

单数的可数名词holiday 前没有冠词，是把three days' 当作限定词了。

2. I've got a three days' holiday.

3. I've got a three days holiday.

以上两种表达似乎不太规范，但现实语言中，确实有类似的表达，又如：

a three days' visit

a three days journey

a three days' walk

4. I've got a three-day holiday.

比较正宗的表达。
