職場英語：生病了怎樣跟老闆請假

ing-bottom: 66.56%;">

Why don't you take this afternoon off?爲什麼不下午請假呢？我想請/休兩天假，就可以說I want to take two days off.我有兩天休假，則說I have two day soff.
　　無限擴展：請病假：ask for a sick leave、請事假：ask for a casual leave請產假：ask for maternity leave，所以，I am on my maternity leave.就是“我在休產假”的意思。
　　I'm already behind schedule.我的工作還沒完成，已落後時間表了。Behind schedule表示落後於時間表，比原計劃慢。無限擴展：表示“按計劃完成”就是on schedule，如We finished the project on schedule.我們按計劃完成了工程項目。
　　有時候老闆們會定個最後期限，表示工作在此之前必須完成。表示這個“最後期限，時間限制”用deadline，如We had to work overtime last night in order to meet the deadline.我們昨晚爲趕最後期限，不得不加班來完成工作。
　　He would think that I was putting him on.他會覺得我在騙他。
　　to put some body on愚弄、欺騙某人；如she put on an English accent.她假裝帶有英國口音。
　　無限擴展：You're putting me on!你在開我的玩笑。
　　I'll handle him.我會跟他解釋的。To handle表示處理、應付、應對。如I can't handle children.我管不住孩子們。She handled a difficult argument skillfully.她巧妙地應付了一場艱難的辯論。

　　實戰對話：
　　John：Do you have any tissue, Eveline? I've used all mine.伊芙琳，你有紙巾麼？我的全用光了。
　　Eveline：Here. Are you all right?給，你還好吧？
　　John：Thanks. I'm all right. It's just my nose. It must be an allergy.... Do you have any aspirin? I have a terrible headache.謝謝，還好，都是我的鼻子，肯定是過敏了。你有沒有阿斯匹林？我頭疼死了。
　　Eveline：I don't have an aspirin. Perhaps you should go to a doctor.我沒有，也許你得去看看醫生了。
　　John：No, no. I'm okay. It's the weather. It was warm and sunny this morning, and now it's chilly and raining.不不，算了吧，我還好啦。都是這鬼天氣鬧的，早上還陽光燦爛挺暖和的，這會兒卻下雨了，陰冷陰冷的。
　　Eveline：Really, John. I still think you should go to a doctor. You've been sneezing ever since you entered the office this morning. Why don't you take this afternoon off? If you don't want to see a doctor, at least you can go home and have a good rest.的確，約翰。我還是覺得你應該去看醫生。今早你一到辦公室，就打噴嚏到現在。乾脆下午請假吧，如果你不想去看病，至少回家好好休息一下。
　　John：I can't. I'm already behind schedule. Besides, you know as. He would think that I was putting him on.不行啊，我已經落後於時間表了。而且你知道托馬斯先生的，他會認爲我在愚弄他。
　　Eveline：You didn't do anything but sneeze this morning, and you can't do anything this afternoon like this. Gee! You've got a fever!今早你除了打噴嚏什麼都沒做，你這個樣子下午也做不了什麼。呀！你還發燒呢。
　　John：Do I ?... Oh, no.什麼？噢噢，不是吧。
　　Eveline：Listen to me. You go home now.聽我的！你現在回家。
　　John：What about as?那托馬斯先生怎麼辦？
　　Eveline：I'll handle him. Now go home. I'll call you afterwork.我會給他解釋的，你快回家吧，下班後我給你打電話。
　　John：Thanks a lot, Eveline. Good-bye.那太謝謝你了伊芙琳，回見。
