句型Plus
1. I’m calling in sick.
call in sick表示打电话给公司请病假，此外打电话给公司请病假时还可以说：
I’m not feeling well.
I am feeling under the weather.
2. Oh, what, are you still mad at everyone there?
be mad at意思是“对……愤怒，对……恼火”，遇到同事无故对你大吼大叫时，你就可以说：Are you mad? 你疯了吗？
3. And Daniel told me to butt out of his life, that I’m just his secretary.
butt out意为“走开，别管闲事”，butt在口语中的用法很常见，如果是很熟的朋友挡住你的路，这时就可以说：Get your butt out of the way! 这句话也可以简单地说成Move your butt!
