信息時代,惜時如金,于是電話就成了人們交流的快捷工具。約會、求醫(yī)、尋親訪友、拜望老師、商務(wù)往來等,都要事先打電話聯(lián)系。
打電話或接電話能反映一個人的修養(yǎng),所以我們用英語打電話時要用規(guī)范的語言,并注意說話的方式及語氣。
◆經(jīng)典表達(dá)
A.撥打電話
1.Hello! May I speak to...?
2.Hello! Id like to speak to...
3.Is that... speaking?

◆溫馨解讀
1.電話接通,說想找某人接電話時,應(yīng)說“Hello! Could / May I speak to...?(喂,請……接電話好嗎?)”或者“Hello! Id like to speak to...(喂,我想找……)”。
2.詢問對方是不是某人時,應(yīng)說“Is that...speaking?(你是……嗎?)”,不可以說“Are you...?”。
3.想知道接電話的人是誰時,用“Whos calling / speaking / that? (您是哪位?)”。
4.在向?qū)Ψ浇榻B自己時,用“This is...speaking.(我是……)”,而不說“Im...”。
5.當(dāng)接到對方打錯的電話時,應(yīng)說“Sorry, wrong number. / Sorry, nobody here by that number. / Im sorry, but you must have the wrong. / Sorry, I think you have the wrong number.(對不起,你打錯了。)”。
6.當(dāng)電話要找的人不在時,可以說一句“Sorry, ...isnt here right now.(抱歉,……目前不在這里。)”。
7.讓對方等待需找的人時,可以說“Hold on, please. / Just a moment, please. / Hold on the line, please.(請稍后。)”。
8.想要為對方轉(zhuǎn)述電話時,可以說“Can I leave her a message for you? / Can I take a message? / Would you like me to relay a message for you? (我可以為你捎個口信嗎?)”。
9.如果聽不清對方的話,可以說一句“Sorry. I cant hear you. / Sorry. I couldnt get through.(對不起,我聽不清楚你說的話。)”。
10.撥打電話,但未撥通時,你可以說“The line is bad / busy. (線路不好。)”。
