002---Calling In Sick
原文:
A: Hello, Daniel speaking, how may I help you?
B: Hi, Daniel, Julie here.
A: Hi, Julie, how are you?
B: Actually, I'm feeling quite ill today.
A: I'm sorry to hear that. What's wrong?
B: I think I'm coming down with the flu. I have a headache, a sore throat, a runny nose and I'm feeling slightly feverish.
A: I see... so you're calling in sick?
B: Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover.
A: OK, then. Try and get some rest.
筆記:
1. quite ill = very sick 非常不舒服
2. headache
sore throat/ back/ arm / neck
3. have a runny nose 流鼻涕
4. feel slightly feverish 輕微的發(fā)燒
5. recover (to get better) 恢復(fù)
6. I'm coming down with ...
means starting to feel sick
7. calling in sick
means I'm calling because I'm sick so I can't go to work
簡單的三個(gè)單詞隱含的意思還不少呢~
8. take the day off 放假,休息
not to go to work that day
eg: take five days/ a week off
9. I'm sorry to hear that. 聽到這個(gè)消息我感到很遺憾拆魏。
常用于別人發(fā)生不好的事情時(shí)盯桦,如生病、不開心渤刃、考試沒通過等等拥峦,表示關(guān)心和同情。
