想休假怎么才能跟老外上司用英文表达清楚？

前两天国务院发了个通知，掌声雷动的掉下来一天休假。超级高兴，各位网友又纷纷出了新的请假攻略可连休多少天。那么请假应该如何用英语来表达的高大上呢？

to swing it是一种书面语里非正式的说法，意思是时候服别人，到达自己的目标。Jerry说明说，他从2002年来这家公司工作，就始终没休过假，当初公司欠他四个月的假期,英语书面语，Jerry说，另外，I've got oodles of comp time as well. oodles of something也是一种非正式的说法，相称于a lot of something，Jerry说本人除了四个月的假期，还攒了很多comp time. Will是新毕业的大学生，不晓得什么是comp time. Paula说明说，

P: The "comp" is short for compensation. Basically he means overtime pay.

J: Yeah, but some companies like ours don't really pay overtime... they give you extra vacation hours instead. If you add up all the vacation time and comp hours I have, I have a lot of time.

P: When I was working for a company in Germany they had super short work weeks and very liberal overtime rules.

Paula说明书，comp是compensation的简写，其实就是overtime加班，有些公司不发加班费，而是把员工加班的时间折合成假期，弥补给员工。另外，欧洲跟美国的情形也有很大的差别，Paula说,英语书面语，她以前曾经在德国的一家公司工作过，they had super short work weeks and very liberal overtime rules. 那家公司不仅工作时间短，并且加班的划定也very liberal，很松。

J: I have to say I'm looking forward to my long vacation. I think you need at least three or four weeks of doing nothing before you can truly relax.

W: I thought you said you had months and months of vacation time available. Why are you only taking five weeks off?

J: Five weeks was the best I could negotiate with my boss. She says she knows I've earned the time, but she begged me not to take more than five weeks.

P: Five weeks should be long enough! Who knows? Maybe you'll get bored and come back early!

J: (laugh) I doubt it.

Jerry虽然有好几个月的假期，但老板最多只让他休五个星期， 看来他一定是很能干。Paula开玩笑说，五个礼拜也足够了，搞不好用不了五个星期Jerry就感到其实很无聊，提前回来上班了呢！
