1 / 4认得Recognize看到这个英文,我知道它大概是什么。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.

Absence

AB-sens

缺席

결석

Where you'll see it你会在哪里看到

  • 学校的自动通知电话或短信
  • 家长 App
  • 请假表单(absence form)
  • 成绩单上的出勤栏

What it actually means白话说

孩子该到学校却没到,就记一次 absence。孩子生病或有事不能去时,学校会希望家长主动通知;用电话、email 还是 App,各校做法不同。

Common mistake常见的误会

Excused absence 的 excused 不是「被原谅」。它是学校接受理由的请假;unexcused 是没通知、或理由没被接受的缺席,两种分开记。

Often right next to it旁边常出现的单词

  • Absent没到、缺席的 결석한
