Staff Announcement: Update on Holiday and “Make-Up” Day Policy for 2024
Dear Team, We wish to inform you about some changes to the holiday policy for 2024 based on the recent guidelines released by the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration (DGPA):

Announcement 公告
announce是公告的動詞，來自於a- (to…)與noun (名詞)，把事情說出來當然就是公告，加上-ment則成為名詞。
The CEO made an important announcement about the company's future plans during the annual meeting.
CEO在年度會議上宣布了有關公司未來計劃的重要消息。
Employees are eagerly waiting for the announcement regarding the bonus distribution.

Policy政策
公司與政府的政策都是使用這個字，制定政策者直接在後方加上maker就可以了。

Every new employee receives a handbook detailing the company’s policies and procedures.
每位新員工都會收到一本詳細說明公司政策和程序的手冊。
Guidelines 指導方針
Guide是引導，用來引導的條文就是指導方針。

衛生部門發布了在大流行期間維持安全的指導方針。
Please follow the guidelines outlined in the document while submitting your report.
提交報告時，請遵循文檔中概述的指導方針。

Administer是管理、治理的意思，管理人為administrator，而administration除了當名詞之外也可以用來指管理層的整體。

該公司希望聘請有商業管理經驗的人。

“Make-Up” Days 補班/課日

Make-up可用於任何補上的意思，例如補考、化妝、補償、補班、補課等都可以。

由於暴風雪，學校已安排了下個月的兩天補課。
Employees can choose their preferred make-up days for the extended holiday.

許多員工計劃下個月的長週末進行短途旅行。
The company has given an extended weekend as a reward for meeting the quarterly targets.
公司獎勵達到季度目標的員工一個長週末。
Flexible Approach 有彈性的方法
Flex是彎曲的意思，可以彎曲當然就表示「有彈性的」，approach當成動詞是接近，當成名詞在商業的世界中意思通常是手段或方案。

活動團隊正在確定年度會議的安排。
Please let me know if you have any suggestions regarding the seating arrangement.
如果您對座位安排有任何建議，請告訴我。
Commitment承諾

commit是保證的意思，在商業界中也常用到time commitment用於形容投入時間。

儘管他的日程很緊，但他總是尊重對團隊的承諾。
It's important to manage your time efficiently when you have multiple commitments.
當您有多項承諾時，有效管理您的時間非常重要。
Cooperation合作

Co是一起，operate是操作，兩個字合起來就成了合作了。
