休假 的英文怎麼說?

[1] take some day off[2] take the day off work[3] take a leave of absence[4] take some time off[5] request some time off[6] on leave[7] be not in some place[8] on PTO[9] (noun) leave of absence

「請假」的簡單的說法就是 take the day off，任何原因都可以用此句。take today off 也行，但反而少用的多。也就是說，the day 比 today 常用的多。

另一個簡單的說法就是 on leave，又簡單又好用，例如 He was on leave yesterday.

Could I take next Friday off? = 我可以下週五請假嗎?

他今天請病假 = He called in sick today. 或 He took a sick day today.

他今天休事假 = He took the day off. 或 He took today off. 或 He took a day off today. 或 He is on PTO today. 或 He is on leave today.

名詞就用 leave of absence，例如:

What did you do during your leave of absence? = 你休假(或請假)時做了什麼?

PTO = paid time leave, 指一個員工的特休假，PTO 在美國很常用

「休假」有時候可白話翻譯，例如假設有人打來問某人在不在，但此人請假不在辦公室，你就可說 He's not in the office. 或 He is out of the office today.
