This is Ken.
這是肯。
Hello, Ken speaking.
你好，我是肯。
If you'd like to reply more formally, use your full name.
如果您想更正式地回復(fù)，請使用您的全名。
This is Jennifer Smith speaking.
我是詹妮弗·史密斯。
Hello, Jennifer Smith speaking.
您好，我是詹妮弗·史密斯。
If you are answering for a business, just state the business name. In this case, it's common to ask how you can help:
如果你在回答一個商業(yè)問題，只需說出企業(yè)名稱。在這種情況下，常見的問題是如何提供幫助：

早上好，湯姆森公司。我能為您做些什么?

The first example response is in American English and the second is in British English. As you can see there are differences in both forms. The telephone articles include both British and American English, as well as phrases that are common to both forms.
第一個例子是美國英語，第二個例子是英國英語。正如你所看到的，兩種形式都有差異。電話用語包括英式英語和美式英語，以及兩種形都并存使用的短語。
In American English, we answer the phone stating "This is ..." In British English, it's common to answer the phone by stating the telephone number. The phrase "This is ..." is used only on the telephone to substitute the phrase "My name is ..." which is not used to answer the telephone.
在美式英語中，我們接的電話說“這是……”，在英式英語中，通常是說電話號碼來接電話?！斑@是……”這個短語只在電話上用來代替“我的名字是……”這個短語不用于接聽電話。
