跟艾米莉一起學(xué)口語 第774期:請假的多種表達(dá)

實用句子

下周我要請幾天假，孩子們放假了。

Why don't you take a day of sick leave?

你為什么不請一天病假呢？

I'm asking for a three-day personal leave, because my wife is giving birth.

因為我太太要生了，我要請三天假。

You may have one month of paid-holiday every year.

經(jīng)典對話

A: Have you finished going through the contract?

你看完合同了嗎？

go through表示“瀏覽”

B: Yes, but I have a few questions for you.

看完了，不過我有幾個問題要問你。

A: Okay, ask anyway.

好，你問。

B: First, I'd like to know if you offer employees sick leave?

首先，我想知道你們這里有沒有為員工提供病假？

A: Employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year. However, in order to get paid, you will have to bring in a note from the doctors.

有，員工每年有十天病假。不過如果不想扣工資的話，最好找醫(yī)生開假條。

B: Even if I'm only sick for one day?

即使我只生病一天也要開嗎？

A: That's correct.

沒錯。

B: That's pretty strict, if you ask me.

如果你問我意見的話，我覺得這條規(guī)定太嚴(yán)苛了。

A: Well, we've had to add that to the contract because we found that many of our employees were taking almost one day a month, even though they weren't sick.

嗯，我們必須要把這條寫進(jìn)合同。因為以前我們這兒有很多員工即使沒有生病，也幾乎每月都要修一次病假。

B: I see. I guess that makes sense.

我懂了，你們這樣做確實有道理。

make sense表示“有道理；講得通”

A: Do you have any other questions?

你還有其他問題嗎？

B:Yes. Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract, but there's nothing in the contract about paternity leave. Do you offer anything to fathers?

有，合同里涉及了產(chǎn)假，可是沒有提到父親假，公司有沒有為新父親們提供假期？

be mentioned in...表示“有在...被涉及/提到”

A: We do actually. We can add that as an amendment to your contract.

有的。我們可以把這一條作為補(bǔ)充條款寫進(jìn)你的合同。

amendment表示“修正案；修改”

B: How many days of paternity leave do you offer?

你們提供多少天的父親假期？

A: Men are allowed to take ten days of paternity leave for their first child.

男性員工有十天假期。

be allowed to...表示“被允許...”比如“你被允許吃完飯抽根煙”翻譯為“You are allowed to smoke after the meal”。那“不被允許做”就是“be not allowed to”

B: Why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?

為什么女性的產(chǎn)假比這要多的多呢？

A: Well, women are the ones giving birth. I think it's fair to give them more time, don't you?

女性要經(jīng)歷生產(chǎn)過程，我覺得給她們更多時間休息很合理，你不覺得嗎？

B: I guess so. I don't have any other questions. Should I sign here then?

合理，我沒有其他問題了，是在這兒簽字嗎？

A: Yes, please.

是的，請簽吧。
