　　Ⅲ.課文篇

　　Everyone needs a holiday. In almost every country, companies are required by law to give their staff paid holidays each year in addition to the normal public holidays.

　　每個(gè)人都需要假期。幾乎每個(gè)國(guó)家的法律都要求公司每年除了給員工正常的公共假期外，還給員工帶薪的.假期。

　　Why should staff take holidays? The answer is simple - it'sbecause we are human beings and not machines. If we don't take a break from what we are doing every now and then, we will stop working efficiently and eventually break down. Actually, even machines need a rest sometimes to make sure they work at their maximum efficiency!

　　為什么員工應(yīng)該休假？答案很簡(jiǎn)單－因?yàn)槲覀兪侨�，不是機(jī)器。如果我們不每隔一段時(shí)間從我們所從事的工作中解脫出來(lái)，我們的工作效率就會(huì)降低，最終會(huì)累垮。實(shí)際上，甚至機(jī)器有時(shí)也需要檢修，以確保它們的工作效率達(dá)到最大限度。

　　Companies usually offer their staff between 10 and 20 days of paid holiday each year after you have completed one year of full-time employment.

　　當(dāng)你全職受雇于公司的時(shí)間達(dá)到了一年之后，公司通常每年給你10至20天的帶薪假期。

　　All companies have their own rules for when staff want to apply for leave, but generally there will be a form to complete which you ask your manager to approve. If your direct manager agrees with the time and the length of your requested leave, you might then need the approval of your human resources department.

　　對(duì)于員工的休假申請(qǐng)，所有的公司都有他們自己的規(guī)定。不過通常來(lái)說你需要填一張表格，請(qǐng)求你的經(jīng)理準(zhǔn)假。如果你的直接頂頭上司同意你要求的假期時(shí)間以及假期長(zhǎng)短，那么接下來(lái)你可能需要人力資源部的批準(zhǔn)。

　　Sometimes your company will not be able to approve your leave. Maybe you want to take too many days off together or maybe you ask for leave at a very busy time. It is important to be flexible in asking for leave and only make your holiday plans after your leave has been approved.

　　有時(shí)候你的公司不能批準(zhǔn)你的請(qǐng)假。也許你一次要求的天數(shù)太多了，或者也許你要求的休假期間是一個(gè)非常忙碌的時(shí)期。申請(qǐng)休假要靈活，而且只有得到準(zhǔn)假后再做度假計(jì)劃，這是很重要的。

　　Before you go on leave make sure that you advise your colleagues and let them know of anything you want them to look after while you are away. Hand-over any important tasks to someone you can trust, turn your mobile phone off, get on the plane and enjoy your holiday!

　　在離開以前確保給同事一些建議，并且告訴他們你不在的時(shí)候你想讓他們關(guān)照的事情。將重要的工作交給你可以信賴的人，關(guān)上手機(jī)，登上飛機(jī)，享受你的假期吧！

　　Ⅳ.對(duì)話篇

　　Jeff: Did you enjoy your holiday Joan?

　　杰夫：你的假期過得好嗎，瓊？

　　Joan: Yes, but it was too short.

　　瓊：好，不過太短了。

　　Jeff: But you were gone for about two weeks.

　　杰夫：可是你離開了大約兩個(gè)星期。

　　Joan: The holiday wasgreat, but I am so tired that I feel like I need a holiday from my holiday!

　　瓊：假期很棒，不過我很累，我覺得我需要為我的假期再要一個(gè)假期！

　　Jeff: That sounds pretty stupid. You will just have to wait until next year.

　　杰夫：那聽起來(lái)很愚蠢。你只能等到明年。
