While more than half of bosses are skeptical 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 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。
The latest survey, which polled 2,500 employers and employees across the UK named diarrhoea the second most worthy 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.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 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。
