(一)、 中國(guó)人與英美人打電話有很大差異。用英語(yǔ)打電話要掌握以下幾點(diǎn):
1. 打電話人接通電話后可說(shuō):Hello ! 接著說(shuō):This is sb.speaking./Could(May)I speak to sb.?/Is sb.in? 但不能問(wèn):Whoare you?接電話人可說(shuō):Hello!Good morning/afternoon/ evening.緊接著 將自己的電話號(hào)碼或姓名告訴對(duì)方。如:(This is ) 3531968./This is Jim speaking.
2. 問(wèn)對(duì)方是誰(shuí), 不說(shuō):Who are you ? 而應(yīng)說(shuō):Who's thatspeaking(calling)?/May I have y our name? /Is that sb. (speaking)?
打電話者若要拜托接電話人轉(zhuǎn)告要找的人某事時(shí), 可問(wèn):Couldyou take a message for me?/Please tell him (her)that(sth.)……./Tell him(her)I called./Will you please tell him (her)to c all me back later?
3.若對(duì)方打錯(cuò)電話,接電話者可說(shuō):Sorry,you've dialed
the wrong number. 打電話人發(fā)現(xiàn)拔錯(cuò)號(hào)碼, 應(yīng)說(shuō):Sorry,I'vedialed the wrong number.
4.代人接電話,最好說(shuō):What name shall I give?/Who shall Isay is calling? 若要離開(kāi)去叫人, 須跟對(duì)方說(shuō):Hold the line,please.I'll get him/her to phone.(別掛斷,我就去找他(她)聽(tīng)電話。 )或Hold on for a moment.(請(qǐng)等一會(huì)兒。)反之, 若電話要找的人在身邊,代接電話的人可說(shuō):It's for you.或For you. (你的電話。)
5. 如果打電話要找的人不在, 代接電話的人可說(shuō):Sorry,he/she isn't in.或I'm afraid he/she is o ut.(他/她不在。)如果問(wèn)對(duì)方是否要留話,說(shuō):May I take a message for you? /Can Itake a messag e?/Would you like to leave a message?
