Try this when you're sick


NO question about it, you're a hardworking student. But no matter how serious you are, you have to skip some lectures when you don't feel well. So this week we give you: words related to "
请假
".

1. John, hi, can you please tell the professor that I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning? I'm feeling sick and can't concentrate.

"Leave" (
准假,休假) is a noun here. Ask for leave: 请假. Here, "ask for leave tomorrow morning" means "明天上午请半天假". Other examples include "ask for a 48-hour leave" : 请假48小时 or "ask for one week of leave": 请假一周
.

2. Mr Smith, my dad's here visiting me and I'd like to take two days off to show him around the city.

"Take off" (
请假,休假) is another common expression for "ask for leave". Another phrase with the word "off" is "to be off sick": 因病缺勤
. For example:

Poor Sophie! She's been off sick for two days with a high fever. I hope she's getting better now.

3. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pull a sickie today, Helen, but I really do have a bit of the flu.

"Pull a sickie" (
请假) is slang; "sickie" is slang word for "病假
" and often refers to a day off. It is used in the case of genuine illness but often has a sense of avoiding work.

4. I don't feel well this morning. Perhaps I ought to call in sick.

Call in sick:
打电话请病假. You could say "call the secretary/boss/department head to tell her I'm sick" when you ask for leave. And you may need "a doctor's note" (病假条
) to prove your illness.
