职场商务：教你如何用英语跟上司说话

　　1.申请许可

　　Wouldn't it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday?

　　(这个星期五,我是否可以休一天假?)

　　请休假用takethe day off。如果是两天以上就用days off。老板会很干脆地答应说that'll be OK,或是会带有不悦意味回答will everything be all right?(一切都安排就绪了吗?),这些都要看你平时的工作表现而定。

　　2.提议

　　I think we need to buy a new copier.(我想我们需要买一台新的复印机)

　　说出上句之前,必须说明our copying machine has broken down again.(复印机又出毛病了)以作为提案的依据。客气一些的提议,用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new copoer.
