分级场景对话模板

Best,
[Name]"
高级版（长期病假）

✔ "I had a fever yesterday"
-

✖ "If I was healthy I would come"
✔ "If I were healthy I would come" -

文化差异注意事项
- 美国：通常需说明是否启用FMLA（家庭医疗休假法案）
- 英国：超过7天病假需提交"fit note"取代原来的"sick note"
- 中东国家：部分要求政府医院出具的证明才有效
- 北欧国家：多数企业允许3天内的自我认证病假（无需证明）
哈佛商学院2023年《Workplace Absenteeism Report》显示：采用明确病假政策的企业，员工复工效率提升27%，建议在沟通时主动提及："I've reviewed our company's sick leave policy in section 4.2 of the handbook..."
专业职场英语的核心在于平衡坦诚与专业度,提供足够信息让团队调整工作，同时保护个人隐私，最新趋势显示，62%的跨国企业（据2024 Mercer调研）已采用AI病假审核系统，因此准确使用医学术语如"acute gastritis"比模糊说"stomachache"更高效。
保持沟通渠道畅通,复工时主动表示："Thank you for covering my shifts. I've caught up on all pending tasks per the handover notes." 这种闭环思维能建立长期职场信用。
