around four, it would be better to take a week off Explanation: rond vieren is another way of saying omstreeks vieren, so I would use "around four". with "er een weekje tussenuit gaan" in this context is meant that you take a week off from work, maybe going on a trip or just staying at home to get some rest.

Around 4 o-clock, that you had better take off for a week or so Explanation: (Zwanenberg) is right with "around 4", my answer is a little more precise. The second part includes the reference to the person, which is missing in the previous answer. |

Against 4 o'clock, she asks with a smile "Why don't you take it easy for a while?" Explanation: meaning "4-ish" in the afternoon, of course. Second part of the paragraph should be just a bit more colloquial IMHO. Van Dale N-E/E-N; Collins |
