首先打听对方昨天没来上班或上课，可以问

Why weren't you at work yesterday?

What reason do you have for missing school?

病人做楚楚可怜状，甩出一句虚弱的

I wasn't really feeling well.

I was sick.

恻隐之心一旦被激发，你一定会追问

What was wrong with you?

What was your problem?

世间的病何止千百种，更何况还有些难以启齿，最保险的“病”就是

have a cold, headache, stomachache

让你的同情心泛滥得更猛烈些吧

Are you feeling any better?

Do you want anything to make you feel better?

生病的有台阶赶紧下吧

还不舒服就说I'm still feeling under the weather.

没问题了就说I'm OK now.

什么叫好人做到底？

I hope you feel better.

Get better.

生病的，赶紧的，该换感激涕零状了

I'd appreciate that！

Thanks a lot！
