off season a time of the year when the usual activity or business is reduced or not carried on 一年中日常活动减少或者商业活动不旺盛的时期 The off-season rates are less than half what they were charging during the peak season. 淡季的收费比率比旺季的一半还少。 I try to travel during the off season, because everything is so much cheaper then. 我想淡季的时候去旅游，因为那时候的东西都会便宜很多。 It's off season now, so I doubt there will be too many shops open. 现在是淡季，所以很多商铺现在不一定会营业。
