原文：

A: Hello, Daniel speaking, how may I help you?

B: Hi, Daniel, Julie here.

A: Hi, Julie, how are you?

B: Actually, I'm feeling quite ill today.

A: I'm sorry to hear that. What's wrong?

B: I think I'm coming down with the flu. I have a headache, a sore throat, a runny nose and I'm feeling slightly feverish.

A: I see... so you're calling in sick?

B: Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover.

A: OK, then. Try and get some rest.

笔记：

1. quite ill = very sick 非常不舒服

2. headache

sore throat/ back/ arm / neck

3. have a runny nose 流鼻涕

4. feel slightly feverish 轻微的发烧

5. recover (to get better) 恢复

6. I'm coming down with ...

means starting to feel sick

7. calling in sick

means I'm calling because I'm sick so I can't go to work

简单的三个单词隐含的意思还不少呢~

8. take the day off 放假，休息

not to go to work that day

eg: take five days/ a week off

9. I'm sorry to hear that. 听到这个消息我感到很遗憾。

常用于别人发生不好的事情时，如生病、不开心、考试没通过等等，表示关心和同情。
