A：Why aren't you at work?
你為什么沒(méi)上班?
B：I called in sick.
我(打電話)請(qǐng)病假了。
注釋：
a.be at work在上班/在工作
b.我們告訴對(duì)方自己打過(guò)電話到辦公室請(qǐng)病假，所以沒(méi)去上班時(shí)，理論上可以這么說(shuō)：
I made a call to the office to say that I was sick and, therefore,I couldn't go to work.
實(shí)際上可以簡(jiǎn)短地說(shuō)：
I called in sick.
(我請(qǐng)病假。)
