如何使用英语进行打电话呢?打电话时双方都看不见对方,通常是不可视电话。平安好学告诉你鉴于双方不可视且仅凭声音判断打电话的双方身份的这个特点,导致打电话拥有传达信息、留言、商洽事宜等效果和功能。
怎么使用英文进行正常的打电话主要包含以下几点:
第一,打电话的英文
打电话人接通电话后可说:Hello ! 接着说:This is sb.speaking./Could(May)I speak to sb.?/Is sb.in? 但不能问:Whoare you?接电话人可说:Hello!Good morning/afternoon/ evening.紧接着将自己的电话号码或姓名告诉对方。如:(This is ) 3531968./This is Jim speaking.问对方是谁, 不说:Who are you ?平安好学告诉你应说:Who's thatspeaking(calling)?/May I have your name? /Is that sb. (speaking)?代人接电话,最好说:What name shall I give?/Who shall Isay is calling?
第二,电话的传达
若要离开去叫人,须跟对方说:Hold the line,please.I'll get him/her to phone.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 for you.或For you.你的电话。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 is out.(他/她不在。)如果问对方是否要留话,说:MayI take a message for you? /Can Itake amessage?/Would you like to leave a message?平安好学告诉你打电话者若要拜托接电话人转告要找的人某事时,可问:Couldyou take a message for me?/Please tell him (her)that(sth.)……./Tell him(her)I called./Will you please tell him (her)to call me back later?
第三,打错电话
若对方打错电话,接电话者可说:Sorry,you've dialed the wrong number. 打电话人发现拔错号码,应说:Sorry,I'vedialed the wrong number.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。说了这么多,平安好学告诉你如何进行真实的打电话英文叙述呢?下面我们在已经学习了打电话英文的基础上加上真实的说话双方的姓名,实际演练的学习一下如何使用英文进行打电话时所需英文的表达。
