1、请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必需掌握的常用使用文之一，它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence)。请假条是用于向教师或下级指导等因身体情况不好或因某事恳求准假的场所。 英文请假条写作需留意三点： 1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相反， 它普通由四局部组成，即工夫、称谓、注释和签名。 2.普通而言，可认定请假条是一种复杂的书信文体。请假条普通写在纸上，不必信封。其书写格式与书信有很多类似之处，是书信的大大简化。 3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容冗长、用词浅显易懂。 英语请假条的写法首先，假条
2、的上方还是应该按照半正式的格式写上如下信息：To：假条是递给谁的From：请假人Date：写假条的日期(注意不是请假的日期 )Subject：写上请假字样假条抬头范例如下：To: Peter Stone, Manager From: Lynn Chen, Financial Department Date: April 2nd, 2004Subject: Casual Leave of Absence其次，在您的请假信第一段，应该开门见山但是有礼貌地提出请假。第一段要中心明确，写清您要请假的日期。第一段范例如下：Peter, I would like to know if I could as
3、k for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th, this Wednesday. 然后，在假条的第二段，您应该简单明了陈述请假的原因事由。注意叙述清楚明白，并尽可能表示对此带来工作不便的歉意。第二段范例如下：This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist, urging me to come to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth. I have been experiencing a stingin
4、g pain, depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight. The situation could worsen, should infection occur. Concerning my workload: As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays, I think a one-day leave this Wednesday may be the best solution. I apologize for the inconvenience my absence fro
5、m work may cause. 接着，在假条的最后一段，应写上您希望获得准假的句子，或者具体等候答复的时间。最后一段范例如下：Thanks. I will call you at 1:30 p.m. or you can call me at any time. 【范文例析】 假设你是王立。昨天你和同窗们去农场协助农民们摘苹果，不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔上去伤了腿，但伤得不重。医生让你在家里好好休息。因而，你向高教师请假两天(ask for leave for two days)。(2002 新疆乌鲁木齐中考题) 【参考范文】 Sep.28 Dear Miss Gao, Im s

The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest. So I ask for leave for two days. Wang Li 【点评】这是一份采用书信格式写的请假条。日
7、期是 September 28, 日期写在注释的右上角。由于请假条的内容大多是当天、近几日因病或因事请假，所以不用写上年份；称谓是 Dear Miss Gao，称谓写在左上角。请假条因是向下级请示，普通以 Dear.,或 My dear.,扫尾。有时可在 Dear 之后，用上 Mr.或 Miss 等的称谓加上姓氏。不过，有一点仍要提示大家，各种称谓前面普通都用逗号。注释谈了一件事：I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. I cant come to school. I ask for leave for tw
8、o days. 简洁明了，用词口语化。写请假条只需把请假的理由和请假工夫说清楚即可。有的请假条为了阐明其请假事由是真实的，在注释之后另起一行，写上 I enclose a doctors certificate.(我附上了医生证明。)；签名为 Wang Li。签名(署名)写在右下角 ，签名(署名)下面一行可以写上 Yours, Your student 等字样，有时由于写条的人和收条的人彼此普通很熟习，所以在称谓和签名上比拟随意和复杂。特别是在签名局部，有时可复杂到只写个姓或只写个名就可以了。 证明信(Certificate)证明信包括下列几项：(1)你是以什么资格了解被证明人或被证明公司的。
9、(2)你认识被证明人或被证明公司有多久了。(3)被证明人或被证明公司的可靠性和能力如何。【例一】Euston UK LTD81 85 BARNLEY ROADDUNDEE28th September, 1996Ref: PVH/ltjJason Son Ltd.Parkside ManorBurnsideDumfriesDear sir：Thank you for your letter of 20 September, requesting a reference for Clairish Computers Ltd.
