今天,华生在办公室想找Jack无果,正巧遇到了一位新来的菜鸟 Zhang。于是我便问他……


“Hi Zhang, could you please ask Jack to come to my office?”

“Sorry, Mr. Watson. I’m afraid I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because he is not in today.”

“So, what happened to him?”

“He is having maternity leave.”

“Whaaaat?”

华生可不会以为Jack真的是休“产假”去了,除非他去做了变性手术。所以,这件事只有两个可能:一是他故意糊弄别人,连藉口都没编好就想旷工;二是这位帮他传话的Tim把paternity leave(陪产假)说成了maternity leave(产假)。

从这件事上,华生想到了一个严重问题:如果你在请假时报错假种,很可能会造成他人的严重误会。如果你不想你的老板也误以为你“有意旷工”甚至是“寻衅滋事”的话,就好好学下这10种请假的英文。




首先我们看看“假”的英文怎么说:

休假 - Leave

Leave: time that you are allowed to spend away from your work

然后看看常见假的英文怎么说:

年假 - annual leave

Annual: happening once a year

事假(无薪假) - unpaid leave

Unpaid: done without receiving payment

病假 - sick leave

Sick: suffering from a disease or illness

丧假 - mourning Leave

Mourning: great sadness because someone has died

婚假 - marriage leave

Marriage: the relationship between two people who are married, or the state of being married

产检假 - prenatal check-up

Prenatal: relating to unborn babies and the care of pregnant women

Check-up: a general medical examination that a doctor or dentist gives you to make sure you are healthy

产假 - maternity leave

Maternity: relating to a woman who is pregnant or who has just had a baby

陪产假 - paternity leave

Paternity: the fact of being the father of a particular child

哺乳假 - lactation Leave

Lactation: the production of milk by a woman or female animal

多胎假 - multiple birth leave

Multiple: many, or involving many things, people, events etc

Birth: if a woman gives birth, she produces a baby from her body

你已经学会了这10个单词了吧?但这些不同的假种应该怎样应用呢?参考一下这些句子:

She's on maternity leave

(大意:她在休产假)

He's on paternity leave

(大意:他在休陪产假)

He's off sick today

(大意:他今天请病假了)

He's not in today

(大意:他今天不在)

She's on holiday

(大意:她在休假)

如果你身体不舒服,想要请病假,可以打电话给你老板,然后这么说:

I'm afraid I'm not well and won't be able to come in today.

如果这10种请假的英语单词让你受用的话,也【分享】给朋友们看看吧。当然你和同事别扎堆请假,不然你的老板会来找华生麻烦的。
