6. Shelly just called in sick. Shelly 刚打电话来病休.
Call in sick 是一个在办公室内常会用到的片语, 指的是有人打电话来说他生病了不能来上班. 这种事想也知道一定有相当的比例是偷懒而不想来上班而已, 不然就是员工找藉口集体罢工, 例如 "Some workers called in sick to have a strike." (有些工人藉由集体打电话病休来罢工.)
那如果是正常的病休 (sick leave/ medical leave) 要怎么讲? 你可以说, "I need a sick leave for two days." (我需要请两天病假.) 或是如果是因为老婆要分娩了, 想要请事假 (personal leave), 你可以说, "I'm asking for a three-day paid/unpaid personal leave for my wife's labor." (因为我老婆要生了, 我想要请三天假.) 至于这个假是扣不扣钱? (paid/unpaid) 就看公司的政策而定了.
