本期主题being sick 请病假

电话铃响。Julia来电请假I am felling quite ill today.(好一阵猛咳！貌似病好厉害哈哈）

看看她说的症状，病的不轻：疑似流感，头痛喉咙痛流鼻涕再加发烧哈哈齐上阵: I think I am coming down with a flu，I have a headache, sore throat. I am running nose, I am feeling slightly feverish.

老板直言so you are calling in sick.

Julia道出真正用意：I was hoping to take the day off to recover.

trying to get some rest.(好体贴老板)

两个主持人:Julia真能装啊！It seems that shewas acting. Yeah

奉上怎样请假小贴士（实际是直接撒谎饿）

how to tell your boss that you can’t work because you are sick, maybe alie.

两种情况：can’t work/don’t want to work.

----------------------知识点分割线-------------

Language Takeaway

1. headache=a sore head=head hurt

2. sore throat喉咙痛

sore= hurting 女主持人解说喉咙部位（张大嘴巴好敬业！）It’s

the part at the back of your mouth或者吞口水处swallow

有几个疼的部位，还可以说a sore back/a sore arm(打球后) /sore leg.

3.  running nose 流鼻涕

听上去很奇怪的表达a strange word，a running nose什么鬼。不是鼻子在跑，而是描述 a lot of water coming (faster) out

of your nose.好形象！

4.  slightly feverish

 slightly=a little bit.

fever :body is hot when you are sick, 感觉发烫发烧feelingyour body very hot/feel like you have high temperature.

5. To recover=to get better.

Fluency Builder (phrases)

即快要……了be coming down with sth you don’t know what it is

2. calling in sick

女主持人说虽三个字但意味深长Three words showing a long idea

请病假实则为不想上班，大家心知肚明Everyone knows.

3. Take the day off.休假=To not to get to work on that day.

Take the week/month/ year（休一年哈哈，运气好的话you are luck)

最后两个主持人互相吐槽请假高招。
