   While more than half of bosses are skeptical 1 of employees who phone in sick, a new study has revealed what is most likely to earn you the day in bed - and it's not having the sniffles.


  如果你打电话给老板请病假,大多数的老板都会对你的话表示怀疑。一项新的研究发现了最博得老板同情,让你如愿卧床休养的病假理由——不过这个理由不是感冒哟。
  Taking a break from vomiting 2 to call your boss will get the most amount of sympathy with nearly three quarters of respondents saying this would be reason enough to stay home.
  据超过3/4的受调查者证实,能请病假最充足的理由就是,在连番呕吐的间歇时间里,给老板打一个电话,这样足矣调动老板最强烈的同情心。
  不想上班怎么破?研究称病假肚子痛最管用
  The latest survey, which polled 2,500 employers and employees across the UK named diarrhoea the second most worthy 3 excuse with 71 per cent of people admitting they wouldn't want to stray too far from their loo when struck down with the trots 4.
  这项最新的研究对全英国2500名职员进行了调查,结果发现腹泻是请病假倒数第二的理由。有71%的人承认,他们不愿意在外面,这样会离卫生间太远。
  The research is just the latest to look at the best (and worst) reasons for calling in sick - and the ones most likely to be believed by employers and your colleagues.
  这项最新的研究的目的是找出请病假最好(以及最差的)借口——并找出最容易被老板和同事们相信的借口。
  But despite staunch advocacy efforts, workers who give reasons like stress or mental health issues garner 5 much less sympathy and are much less likely to be believed.
  不过,如果你以压力过大或心理健康问题为冰洁的理由,即使你信誓旦旦,你能获得的同情心也会大大减小,而且更难以使人相信。
  Just 19 per cent would call in sick for stress, and only 17 per cent said they would stay home if suffering from mental health issues.
  受调查者中,只有19%的人会以压力过大为借口请病假,有17%的人会以患上精神疾病为理由要求在家休养。
