事由一：Mother’s wedding  母亲的婚礼

     I would like to ask for one day off next week.  我想下周请一天的假。
     Do you think the manager will agree?  你认为经理会同意吗？
     I know it is the busy time for our company, but I do have some important things to handle.
     我知道现在是我们公司最忙的时候，但是我有一些重要的事要做。
     Well, it is hard to say. At least you need to come up with a good reason.
     额，很难开口。至少你要想出一个好理由。
     Actually, it is my mother’s wedding. My parents divorced many years ago. Now she is ready to establish a new family. It is a special occasion. I’ve got to be there, right?实际上，是我母亲的婚礼。我的父母很多年前就离婚了。现在她准备建立一个新的家庭。这是一个特殊的场合。我必须出席的，对吧？
     Yes, you should be there. Go find the manager and ask. I think the manager will understand and approve you a day off. Don’t forget to fill in the leave application form. It will be signed by the manager for approval. 
     是的，你应该出席。去找经理跟他说。我想经理会明白并同意你放假一天的。记得填请假申请表。申请表要经理签名同意。
     Thank you so much.非常感谢你。
事由二：Headache is killing me  头痛正在折磨我。
     Can I ask for leave this afternoon?  今天下午我可以请假吗？
     What is the problem?  怎么啦?
     I had a headache this morning. I didn’t pay attention to it. I thought probably it is because I didn’t sleep well. But now it is getting worse and worse. I feel quite dizzy now and my eyes are somehow very light-sensitive. Maybe it is the migrated.
今天早上我头痛。我没有去注意。我想可能是因为我没有睡好。但是现在原来越严重。现在我觉得非常晕，我的眼睛不知怎么的非常感光。可能是迁移。
     It is ok. You look really pale and red eyes. I suggest you go home immediately and have a good rest.
     好的。你的脸上看起来真的很苍白，眼睛红红的。我建议你马上回家好好休息。
     Thank you very much. I am sure good rest will do indeed. I don’t have this too often.
     非常感谢你。我相信好好休息真的会有帮助的。我不常这样。
事由三：A note from the doctor  医生证明
     Listen, you can not afford another day off. You’ve called in sick five times in the last three weeks.
     听着，你不能再请一天假了。最近三周你已经请了5次病假了。
     I know, but I am really sick.我知道，但是我真的是生病了。
     Well. I want a note from the doctor this one and to be honest, if it continues, we may not be able to have you here.
     额，这次我要医生的证明，坦白说，如果继续这样，我们可能不会让你留在这里。
     I understand, sir. I’ll bring a doctor’s note in tomorrow. I am sorry, Mr. Thomas 
     先生，我明白了。明天我会把医生证明带过来。托马斯先生，对不起。
