For the last 10 years, job listing site CareerBuilder has put out a list it calls “The Most Unbelievable Excuses for Calling in Sick.”
在过去十年间,一个名叫“凯业必达 ”的求职网站每年都会列出一张清单,名为“最不可思议的请病假理由”。
Last year an employee said he couldn’t come in because his false teeth flew out the window while he was driving down the highway. Another claimed that someone had glued her windows and doors shut so she couldn’t get out of her house.
去年,有一名员工称他不能上班的原因是,他在高速公里上开车的时候,假牙从车窗了飞出去了。令一名员工称,有人用胶水把她家的窗户和门都封住了,所以她出不了门。
This year the excuses include a worker who said he felt he had to stay at a casino when he had money left after a gambling weekend. I like this one from a past survey: Employee said the ghost in his house kept him up all night.
今年该网站收集到的奇葩请病假理由包括如下一些:一名员工称,他周末一直在赌博,因此他觉得,只要自己手里的钱还没花完,他就应该留在赌场。我本人比较喜欢这条来自上次调查结果的理由:这名员工称,他家里的鬼混让他整完无法入睡。
This year’s excuses were gathered through a Harris Poll that ran from Aug. 11 to Sept. 5, 2017, among 3,000 workers and 2,000 hiring managers.
今年该网站搜集的请病假理由清淡是通过美国哈里斯民意测验调查所制作的,调查时间从2017年8月11日持续到了9月5日,调查对象包括3000名职工和2000名人事经理。
