每日口语| 如何为你打call
每日口语| 如何为你打call
应微信网友李小凡的要求,讲讲“打电话”的英文相关用法。
比起面对面和外国人说英文,打电话说英文难度更大些,毕竟看不到彼此的面部表情,需要表达更清晰,听力更扎实,否则就需要来回的确认,很是麻烦。
当你给某人打电话,对方接通电话,你自报家门,Hello,this is James speaking, or this is James from HP Service Center, 不要说成I am James, 一定要说This is James speaking;
若你接到别人的电话,但对方没说是谁的时候,你可以问得礼貌些,May I know who is calling ,please? Or may I know who I am speaking to , please?
若你想找别人接一下这个电话,你可以说May I speak to Linda, please? Or could you put me through to Linda? It is kind of urgent, 能帮我接通Linda好吗?有急事;接通后,要表明意图,hello, I am calling because of the previous email I got from you, 我打电话是因为你发给我的上一封邮件;
如果你是接电话那方,不知道对方是谁,可以说May I ask who’s speaking ? 请问您是哪位?如果对方找的人不在,你可以说I am sorry, he is not here at this moment, may I take a message? Would you like to leave a message?
当你需要记录些东西时,也可以说Would you mind holding for a second, please? I need to grab a pen,请稍等,我找一支笔记录一下;
如果你没听清楚对方说什么,需要对方重复一下,尤其是一些名字,数字,生僻的词,千万别说 what? Again? excuese me? I cannot hear you , louder ,please.这会让对方失去耐心,你最好说Sorry, I got signal problems here, or I have poor reception here ,would you please say that again ?不好意思,我这里信号不好,麻烦再说一遍,即使你的信号没问题,你记住了吗?
挂电话时别忘了说,thank you for calling, see you! 谢谢来电,再见,或者it is nice talking to you , you have very amazing voice , see you ! 和你聊天真愉快,你的声音很动听,管他真假,对方都会开心的,但骚扰电话就另当别论啦。
由于社交网络的发达,用电话的人比之前少了很多,为了在电话里互相告知微信号码不产生歧义,最有效的方法可以说,I will text you my wechat number later, keep in touch, 随后我会把微信号码短信给你,保持联络,有什么具体详细的事宜,就可以从电话转移到微信啦。
