怎样“打电话”

曲永华

信息时代，惜时如金，于是电话就成了人们交流的快捷工具。约会、求医、寻亲访友、拜望老师、商务往来等，都要事先打电话联系。

打电话或接电话能反映一个人的修养，所以我们用英语打电话时要用规范的语言，并注意说话的方式及语气。

2.询问对方是不是某人时，应说“Is that...speaking？（你是……吗？）”，不可以说“Are you...？”。

3.想知道接电话的人是谁时，用“Whos calling / speaking / that？ （您是哪位？）”。

4.在向对方介绍自己时，用“This is...speaking.（我是……）”，而不说“Im...”。

5.当接到对方打错的电话时，应说“Sorry， wrong number. / Sorry， nobody here by that number. / Im sorry， but you must have the wrong. / Sorry， I think you have the wrong number.（对不起，你打错了。）”。

6.当电话要找的人不在时，可以说一句“Sorry， ...isnt here right now.（抱歉，……目前不在这里。）”。

7.让对方等待需找的人时，可以说“Hold on， please. / Just a moment， please. / Hold on the line， please.（请稍后。）”。

8.想要为对方转述电话时，可以说“Can I leave her a message for you？ / Can I take a message？ / Would you like me to relay a message for you？ （我可以为你捎个口信吗？）”。

9.如果听不清对方的话，可以说一句“Sorry. I cant hear you. / Sorry. I couldnt get through.（对不起，我听不清楚你说的话。）”。
