職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)：生病了怎樣跟老板請(qǐng)假

　　why don''t you take this afternoon off?為什么不下午請(qǐng)假呢？我想請(qǐng)/休兩天假，就可以說(shuō)i want to take two days off.我有兩天休假，則說(shuō)i have two day soff.
　　無(wú)限擴(kuò)展：請(qǐng)病假：ask for a sick leave、請(qǐng)事假：ask for a casual leave請(qǐng)產(chǎn)假：ask for maternity leave，所以，i am on my maternity leave.就是“我在休產(chǎn)假”的意思。
　　i''m already behind schedule.我的'工作還沒完成，已落后時(shí)間表了。behind schedule表示落后于時(shí)間表，比原計(jì)劃慢。無(wú)限擴(kuò)展：表示“按計(jì)劃完成”就是on schedule，如we finished the project on schedule.我們按計(jì)劃完成了工程項(xiàng)目。
　　有時(shí)候老板們會(huì)定個(gè)最后期限，表示工作在此之前必須完成。表示這個(gè)“最后期限，時(shí)間限制”用deadline，如we had to work overtime last night in order to meet the deadline.我們昨晚為趕最后期限，不得不加班來(lái)完成工作。
　　he would think that i was putting him on.他會(huì)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(guó)口音。
　　無(wú)限擴(kuò)展：you''re putting me on!你在開我的玩笑。
　　i''ll handle him.我會(huì)跟他解釋的。to handle表示處理、應(yīng)付、應(yīng)對(duì)。如i can''t handle children.我管不住孩子們。she handled a difficult argument skillfully.她巧妙地應(yīng)付了一場(chǎng)艱難的辯論。

　　實(shí)戰(zhàn)對(duì)話：
　　john：do you have any tissue, eveline? i''ve used all mine.伊芙琳，你有紙巾么？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(guò)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(yī)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(yáng)光燦爛挺暖和的，這會(huì)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(yīng)該去看醫(yī)生。今早你一到辦公室，就打噴嚏到現(xiàn)在。干脆下午請(qǐng)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 mr.thomas. he would think that i was putting him on.不行啊，我已經(jīng)落后于時(shí)間表了。而且你知道托馬斯先生的，他會(huì)認(rèn)為我在愚弄他。
　　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么都沒做，你這個(gè)樣子下午也做不了什么。呀！你還發(fā)燒呢。
　　john：do i ?... oh, no.什么？噢噢，不是吧。
　　eveline：listen to me. you go home now.聽我的！你現(xiàn)在回家。
　　john：what about mr.thomas?那托馬斯先生怎么辦？
　　eveline：i''ll handle him. now go home. i''ll call you afterwork.我會(huì)給他解釋的，你快回家吧，下班后我給你打電話。
　　john：thanks a lot, eveline. good-bye.那太謝謝你了伊xx，回見。
