如何用英語打電話?這對于許多童鞋來說確實(shí)是一個(gè)很頭疼的問題。在肢體語言無法發(fā)揮作用的時(shí)候,如何用英語準(zhǔn)確的表達(dá)自己的意思?下面必克英語就給大家介紹一些常用的英語電話用語,看看我們是如何用英語打電話? 相信大家看完后你就可以放心的給老外打電話了.
(一)、 中國人與英美人打電話有很大差異。用英語打電話要掌握以下幾點(diǎn):
1. 打電話人接通電話后可說:Hello ! 接著說:This is sb.speaking./Could(May)I speak to sb.?/Is sb.in? 但不能問:Whoare you?接電話人可說:Hello!Good morning/afternoon/ evening.緊接著 將自己的電話號碼或姓名告訴對方。如:(This is ) 3531968./This is Jim speaking.
2. 問對方是誰, 不說:Who are you ? 而應(yīng)說: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: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.若對方打錯(cuò)電話,接電話者可說:Sorry,you've dialed
the wrong number. 打電話人發(fā)現(xiàn)拔錯(cuò)號碼, 應(yīng)說:Sorry,I'vedialed the wrong number.
4.代人接電話,最好說:What name shall I give?/Who shall Isay is calling? 若要離開去叫人, 須跟對方說:Hold the line,please.I'll get him/her to phone.(別掛斷,我就去找他(她)聽電話。 )或Hold on for a moment.(請等一會兒。)反之, 若電話要找的人在身邊,代接電話的人可說: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:Sorry,he/she isn't in.或I'm afraid he/she is o ut.(他/她不在。)如果問對方是否要留話,說:May I take a message for you? /Can Itake a messag e?/Would you like to leave a message?
6.若電話的線路忙或有問題,可說:The line is busy. (占線。)The line is dead.(斷線。)
