Unit 15 請假條
　　請假條包括病假條、事假條、續假條等。寫請假條主要把請假原因和請假時間寫清楚，請假的理由要講充分。同時也要注意內容要簡單明了，開門見山說明情況，不必贅述。如果有證明請假原因的證據，如醫生證明、電報等最好隨條附上。
　　1. 請病假（本人寫） Asking for sick leave written by oneself
　　(Sept. 17, 2004)
　　Dear teacher [Zhang],
　　I am very sorry to apprise you that I am unable to attend school today owing to a [stomachache]. I enclose doctor’s certificate and ask you for sick leave of [two] days.
　　Your student
　　[Li Ming]
　　Encl. : Doctor’s certificate for sick leave
　　[張]老師：
　　很抱歉，我因患[胃病]今天不能到校。現附上醫生證明并向您請病假[兩]天。
　　學生[李明]
　　[2004年9月17日]
　　附：醫生病假證明一份
　　2. 請病假（代寫） Asking for sick leave written by someone else
　　 [Oct. 8, 2004]
　　Dear [Miss Willams],
　　Please excuse [Kate]’s absence from school [this morning]. [She] coughed a lot and had a high fever at [9 last night] and could not fall asleep until [midnight]. I felt it would not have been fair to the other children to allow [her] to attend school. So I am writing to ask you for [two] days’ sick leave and will let [her] resume [her] study if [she] feels better [the day after tomorrow].
　　Yours respectfully,
　　[威廉斯小姐]：
　　請原諒[凱特][今早]不能到校上課。[她][昨晚9時]發燒并咳嗽的很厲害，一直到[半夜]才入睡。我覺得叫[她]去學校會影響其他孩子，現代請病假[兩]天。如果[后天][她]感覺好些，再讓[她]到校。
　　3. 續假條 Asking for an extension of leave
　　 Prof. [Huang],
　　I am still lying in bed with the [flu] and unable to get up. I enclose a certificate from the doctor who is attending on me, as [she] fears it will be another [two] days before I shall be able to resume my study. Please give an extension of leave for as many days.
　　Your student,
　　[Li Ming]
　　Encl . : Doctor’s Certificate of Advice
　　（黃）老師：
　　我患[流感]未好，仍臥床不起，醫生認為，還要休息[兩]天才能到校學習。現附上所開的證明，請準予續假為盼。
　　4. 教師的回條 Teacher’s reply
　　 Dear [Alice],
　　Your [mother] tells me you have the [mumps] and must be absent for [half a month]. There are several others in the same condition. Do be careful while you are ill. Don’t think of doing any homework. We’ll have reviews when the sick ones all return. You can watch television or listen to radio programs to help pass the time while you recuperate. I asked (Sue) to bring you several [pop music tapes], as [she] said you have a [tape-recorder] at home. I think you might find them nice.
　　We all miss you and shall be happy when you return.
　　Yours truly,
　　親愛的[艾麗斯]：
　　你[母親]告訴我，你患[腮腺炎]，必須休假[半個月]。還有幾個同學情況也是這樣。在生病期間，要多注意休息，不要去想做作業。等生病的同學都回來了，我們將進行復習。你可以看看電視或聽聽廣播，以便幫助你在養病期間消磨時間。我已經叫[蘇]給你帶去幾盤[通俗歌曲盒帶]，因為[她]說你家里有一臺[錄音機]。 我想你會覺得它們很好聽。
　　我們都很惦念你。當你回來時，我們將很高興。
