在现代办公生活中,我们越来越多地会用到英语,用英语发邮件,用英语写记录报告,或者用英语向上司写假条。本期“乘兴走笔”就来跟大家讲讲如何用英语写假条,也就是提前请假的状况下应该怎样写假条。
首先,假条的上方还是应该按照半正式的格式写上如下信息:
To:假条是递给谁的
From:请假人
Date:写假条的日期(注意不是请假的日期)
Subject:写上请假字样
假条抬头范例如下:
To: Peter Stone, Manager
From: Lynn Chen, Financial Department
Date: April 2nd, 2004
Subject: Casual Leave of Absence
其次,在您的请假信第一段,应该开门见山但是有礼貌地提出请假。第一段要中心明确,写清您要请假的日期。
第一段范例如下:
Peter, I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday.
然后,在假条的第二段,您应该简单明了陈述请假的原因事由。注意叙述清楚明白,并尽可能表示对此带来工作不便的歉意。
第二段范例如下:
This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stinging pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. The situation could worsen, should infection occur.
Concerning my workload: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution. I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.
接着,在假条的最后一段,应写上您希望获得准假的句子,或者具体等候答复的时间。
最后一段范例如下:
Thanks. I will call you at 1:30p.m. or you can call me at any time.
好,把以上几段综合起来,就是一则请假条,看看,是不是很简单?写得成功的请假条,能充分表明您是一个认真负责有条理的人,所以请多多练习吧。
