今天他休息了英文怎么说

在英文中，如果某人今天休息了，可以说他 "had a day off" 或者 "took a day off"。这两种表达都表示某人休息了一天，但是稍有区别。"Had a day off" 是指某人已经休息了一天，是过去的事情；而 "took a day off" 是指某人决定休息一天，这是指将来或者现在的事情。

下面是一些例句：

He had a day off yesterday. (他昨天休息了一天。)
She took a day off to spend time with her family. (她休息了一天，和家人在一起。)

"Had a day off" 和 "took a day off" 都来源于英语的动词 "take off"，意思是 "离开；起飞；休假"。所以在这里，"took a day off" 就表示某人休假了一天。

下面是一些其他使用 "take off" 的例句：

The plane took off on time. (飞机准时起飞。)
She took off her coat and hung it up. (她脱下外套，挂起来。)
