引導語(yǔ):如何用職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)告訴老板你在忙,以下有8個(gè)情境,請熟念句子,希望可以幫助大家。

1. 有人找你,而你正好在忙,或問(wèn)別人是否在忙。
I am in the middle of something.
我剛好有事。
In the middle of something?
在忙嗎?
這種「忙」不是很多事的那種忙,而剛好不方便!窱n the middle of」后面也可以加各種不同的事,例如在談話(huà)時(shí)剛好手機響了,你可以說(shuō):
Sorry, I am in a middle of a conversation.
抱歉,我在談話(huà)中。
2. 別人問(wèn)你要不要一起去做某件事,你想加入的話(huà),可以說(shuō):
Count me in! 或是 I’m in.
算我一份/我也加入
Sure thing!
要呀、好呀、當然。
例如:
A: Are you coming?
B: Sure thing!
看到別人在籌備某個(gè)東西,你想幫忙的話(huà),也可以說(shuō)這句:
Are you organizing a farewell party for Eric?Count me in!/I'm in.
3. 如果有人干涉你或打探你的私事,你想兇嚇唬方的時(shí)候:
What’s it to you?/What is it?
關(guān)你甚么事?
意思就跟「mind your own business「或「it’s none of your business」(少多管閒事)一樣。由于口氣帶有挑釁,用的時(shí)候要注意對象還有場(chǎng)合。
這樣的臺詞電影裡常聽(tīng)到:
有正義感的路人: Hey, leave that girl alone.(嘿,離那個(gè)女孩遠一點(diǎn))
小混混:What's it to you?(關(guān)你甚么事?)
4. 很晚了,想問(wèn)對方「還沒(méi)睡嗎?」可以說(shuō):
Are you still up?或是Still up?
(口語(yǔ))還醒著(zhù)嗎?
很晚睡(熬夜)的片語(yǔ)也是用up:
I sat up late last night.
I stayed up late last night
5. 和朋友聚餐,想要請大家吃飯的時(shí)候,可以這樣說(shuō):
It's on me.或是This is my treat.
我請客。
6. 約會(huì )遲到
想要跟朋友解釋自己是因為「把鬧鐘關(guān)掉以后繼續睡或是沒(méi)聽(tīng)到鬧鐘的聲音,所以睡過(guò)頭了」,英文這樣說(shuō):
I am sorry but I am late. I slept straight through my alarm.
7. 早上下雨,中午不想出去吃,想問(wèn)同事「要不要叫外賣(mài)」
Shall we order out?
我們要不要叫外賣(mài)?
I feel like ordering out. What do you think?
我想叫外賣(mài),你們覺(jué)得呢?
8. 因為重感冒而打電話(huà)去公司請假的時(shí)候,可以怎么說(shuō)?
I'm afraid (that) I'm going to be out sick today. I've got a nasty cold. I hope you don't mind.
I won't be able to come in today. I've come down with a bad cold.
這些都是請假的說(shuō)法:
Nancy called in sick this morning.
Nancy早上打電話(huà)來(lái)請病假。
He is out sick today.
他今天請病假。
He is off today.
他今天休假。
想請事假的時(shí)候可以這樣說(shuō):
I'd like to take a day off/take a leave/take a personal day on November 2.
我11月2號那天想要請事假。
