电话小“灵通”

王六香

Unit 6有一段打电话的对话,你知道如何用英语打电话吗?

◆在西方国家,电话铃响后,接电话的人拿起电话后,应说Hello,并“自报家门”,包括自己所在单位、住址或电话号码。如:

Hello!This is No. 14 Middle School. 您好,这里是第十四中学。

Hello!5658508. 您好,这里是5658508。

◆电话中说“我是……”要用“This is…”,而不能说“I am…”。如:

Hello!5658508. This is Mr Wang. 您好,这里是5658508,我是王先生。

◆问对方是谁时,不说“Who are you?”而用“Whos that?”;如问对方“是……吗?”不说“Are you…?”而要用“Is that…?”。如:

Hello, this is Bill. Whos that? 您好,我是比尔,您是哪位?

——Is that Mrs Green? 您是格林夫人吗?

——Yes. Whos that? 是的,您是哪位?

◆打电话问某人在不在时,常用Hello!May/Could I speak to…? (您好,我可以和×××通电话吗?)如果对方要找的人正是你,你应该说:Yes, speaking!如果对方要找的人不在,你应该说:Sorry, he/she isnt here.(对不起,他/她不在这儿。) 如:

——Hello. May/Could I speak to Mike? 您好,我可以和迈克通电话吗?

——Yes, speaking. 是的,我就是。

——Hello!May/Could I speak to Miss Wang? 您好!我可以和王小姐通电话吗?

——Sorry, she isnt here. 对不起,她不在。

◆当打电话结束时,要说“Bye-bye!/See you./Thanks for calling.”之类的告别语。

同学们,相信你已经会用英语打电话了吧!下面是2009年襄樊市中考英语题,请你拿起笔将它补充完整,好吗?
