读书笔记：
1、come down with 得了(病)
这个短语原意是“和……一起下来”，现在引申为“染上，得了(病)”
例句：

我们很难再降价了。
The Joshi's have all come down with the flu, so none of them will be able to attend your wedding.
乔希一家都得了流感，所以没有人能参加你的婚礼。
come down with someting 身体不舒服，生病
这个是固定搭配，尤其是指“感到不适，有生病的迹象”。
例句：
I think I'm coming down with something. I've got a bad headache.
我觉得我要生病了。我头疼得厉害。
2、runny nose 流鼻涕
注意这个短语通常跟在have后面。
例句：
I have a runny nose and can't stop coughing.我流鼻涕并且不停地咳嗽。
Because of the bad cold, my nose is running.
由于重感冒，我流鼻涕了。
3、call in sick 打电话请病假
I was fed up with work and wanted the day off. I decided to call in sick.我厌倦了工作，我想请一天假。于是我决定打电话请病假。
I don't feel well this morning. perhaps I ought to call in sick.
我今天早上感觉不太舒服，或许我该打电话请个假了。
请假还可以用词组ask for/ request a leave表示
