当你在工作或学校时，经常会有请假的时候。那我们如何用英文来请假呢？
最常用的请假英文说法：
take (sometime) offtake a leaveask for leavebe on leaveI will ask for leave and see a doctor.我会请假去看医生。 She took a leave for four days last month. 她上个月请了四天假。 I’m taking 2 days off to handle some family issues. 我要请两天天假处理家里的事情。
take (sometime) off在 take 和 off 中间可以放一段时间表示请了某段时间的假。如：
take a day off 请一天假take two days off 请两天假take a month off 请一个月假take the afternoon off 下午请假take this Friday off 本周五请假I’m feeling really sick today, so I need to take the day off from work. 我今天感觉很不舒服，所以我需要请假一天。 My sister is getting married next week, so I’m going to take a few days off to attend the wedding. 我妹妹下周就要结婚了，所以我打算休息几天去参加婚礼。
注意：take a day off 和 take the day off 都是请一天假的意思。差别是，take a day off 只是说要请一天的假，但不确定是哪一天，而 take the day off 是已经确定要请某一天假时可以用，通常会指当天。
take a leave请假最常用的动词是 take, “leave”做名词可以表示休假，请假。
在 leave 前面经常会加上特定单字表示不同的假别，如：take a sick leave (请病假)，也可以说可以说 take a sick day。常见的请假类型：
