请假常用搭配动词
如果要表达请假这个动作的话,就可以使用动词 take。由于 leave 在作为名词时,有「请假几天」的概念,因此常当作可数名词来使用。以下为几种常见的说法:
Take (a/an) leave for ____ days请了 ____ 天的 ____ 假
He took a sick leave for three days last week.
他上周请了三天的病假。
Take ____ days’ leave请了 ____ 天的假
She took four days’ leave because she needs some time to relax.
她因为想要有一点放松的时间,所以请了四天的假。
请假除了常见的动词 take,还可以使用以下说法:
Request/Ask/Apply for a/an ____ leave
I need to request for a personal leave this Friday.
我这周五需要请一天事假。
John is asking for his annual leave this May.
John 五月要请特休假。
Karen applied for maternity leave last December.
Karen 去年十二月请了产假。
Have a/an ____ leave
Boss, can I have a two-week maternity leave in June?
老板,我六月可以请两个月的产假吗?
请假句型
Take a / the day off 请一天假
Take a day off 或是 take the day off 都是请一天假的意思,唯一的差别是,take a day off 单纯只是说要请一天的假,但还不确定是哪一天,而 take the day off 是已经确定要请某一天假时可以用,通常会指当天。
I’m taking a day off to handle some family issues.
我要请一天假处理家里的事情。
The manager is taking the day off because he suddenly felt unwell.
经理因为突然身体不适而决定今天请假。
如果你已经确定礼拜四要请假,你也可以直接说:
I’m taking Thursday off to visit my grandma in Taichung.
我周四要请假去台中看我外婆。
如果要请超过一天的假,就可以在 day 前面加上天数:
Kate is taking three days off from work to take care of her mom in the hospital.
Kate 这周会请三天假去医院照顾她妈妈。
Be on leave / go on leave 请假
Leave 通常是指自己另外申请的假,如病假(sick leave)、生理假(menstruation leave)或是年假(annual leave)等都有各自相对应的英文假别。 Leave 常见的请假说法有 be on leave 以及 go on leave。
Cathy is on leave this Thursday.
