No.197 & No.214

No.197
A:How long has she been on leave from work,hasn't she?
彼女はどれくらい仕事を休んでいますか?
B:She has been absent from week.
彼女は1週間休んでいます。

=>How long と hasn't she? は一緒には使いません。「1週間」にあたる英語も加えます:
A:How long has she been on leave from work?
彼女はどれくらい仕事を休んでいますか?
B:She has been away from work for a week.
彼女は1週間休んでいます。

*be on leave from work = be away from work

No.214
A:How was the turnout at the party last year?
昨年のパーティーの参加者はどのくらいいましたか?
B:300 people.
300人です。

=> 答えの方に少し表現を加えます:
A:How was the turnout at the party last year?
昨年のパーティーの参加者はどのくらいいましたか?
B:Bigger than expected. There were 300 participants.
予想より多かったですよ。300人の参加者がありました。
