英语打电话用语
中国人与英美人打电话有很大差异。用英语打电话要掌握以下几点:
1. 打电话人接通电话后可说:Hello ! 接着说:Thisis sb. speaking. / Could(May)I speak tosb.?/Is sb. in? 但不能问:Whoare you?接电话人可说:Hello!Goodmorning/afternoon/ evening.紧接着将自己的电话号码或姓名告诉对方。如:(This is ) 3531968./Thisis Jim speaking.
2. 问对方是谁, 不说:Who areyou ? 而应说:Who's thatspeaking(calling)?/May Ihave y our name? /Is that sb. (speaking)?
3.代人接电话,最好说:What nameshall I give?/Who shall I say is calling?若要离开去叫人,须跟对方说:Hold the line,please. I'll get him/her tophone.(别挂断,我就去找他(她)听电话。)或Hold on for a moment.(请等一会儿。)反之,若电话要找的人在身边,代接电话的人可说:It's foryou.或For you.(你的电话。)
4. 如果打电话要找的人不在, 代接电话的人可说:Sorry, he/she isn’t in.或I'm afraid he/she isout.(他/她不在。)如果问对方是否要留话,说:May I take amessage for you? /Can I take a message? / Would you like to leave amessage?
打电话者若要拜托接电话人转告要找的人某事时, 可问:Could you take a message for me?/Please tellhim (her)that(sth.)…….
/Tellhim(her)Icalled./Will you please tell him (her)to c all meback later?
5.若对方打错电话,接电话者可说:Sorry,you've dialed the wrongnumber. 打电话人发现拔错号码, 应说:Sorry, I've dialed the wrongnumber.
6.若电话的线路忙或有问题,可说:The line is busy. (占线。)The line is dead.(断线。)
