中文學習者常見錯誤

1. 錯誤: "You not ask for leave today? Why you come office?" 正確: "Didn't you ask for leave today? Why did you come to the office?"

   說明: 英文疑問句需要使用助動詞(didn't)，且過去時態需要使用過去式動詞形式(did...come)。

2. 錯誤: "Today you have holiday, why appear in office?" 正確: "You have the day off today, so why did you appear in the office?"

   說明: 英文中「請假」通常用"take the day off"或"have the day off"表達，而不是直接用"have holiday"。此外，"appear"前需加介系詞"in"。

3. 錯誤: "You request vacation today, why still here?" 正確: "You requested vacation today, why are you still here?"

   說明: 使用過去式"requested"表示之前的請假行為，疑問句中需要助動詞"are"和主詞"you"。

實用片語與表達

1. Take the day off: "I thought you were taking the day off today." (我以為你今天請假的。)

2. Call in sick: "Didn't you call in sick this morning?" (你今天早上不是請病假了嗎？)

3. Personal day: "Weren't you using a personal day today?" (你不是今天用個人假(事假)嗎？)

4. Out of office: "I saw your out of office email. What changed?" (我看到你的不在辦公室郵件。發生什麼變化了？)

5. Change of plans: "Change of plans? I thought you weren't coming in." (計畫有變？我以為你不會來上班的。)

"personal day" 有時是公司提供的一種額外的、有薪的假別，獨立於病假(sick leave)和年假/特休(vacation/annual leave)，而 personal leave 通常是無薪的一種假別。
