跟歪果仁打电话,你知道基本的电话用语吗?

有时我们跟外国人打交道,难免会打电话问候,你知道基本的打电话用语吗?要是按照咱们中国人的习惯,直接“直来直往”,可能会产生误会。今天小编为大家整理了一些常用语,赶快学起来吧~

1.打电话时别人接通电话后

我们可以说:

Hello! This is *** (自己的姓名)speaking.

Could(May)I speak to sb(你的电话要打给的人)?

但不能问:Who are you?

接电话人可说:

Hi, 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 Jim speaking.

2.问对方是谁不说:

Who are you?

而应说:Who's that speaking?

或者May I have your name? /Is that sb(电话要打给的人)?

3.代人接电话最好说:

What name shall 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 to phone.

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.

4.如果打电话要找的人不在,我们可以这样说:

Sorry, he/she isn't in.

如果问对方是否要留话:

May I take a message for you?

Can I take a message?/Would you like to leave a message?

5.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've dialed the wrong number.

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)

接下来咱们聊聊座机上的一些符号:

1.微博上带话题,会用到 #,比如:#每日学英语#。井号在推特上同样表示一个主题或话题。此时,井号被称为 hashtag。

电话语音提示里,常被称为:pound key。

Please enter your account number followed by the pound key. (请输入您的账号并以井号结束)

根据维基百科,新加坡部分英文电话语音提示把「井号键」译成 hex key。英国人用 hash key 更多。

跟在数字之前就叫 number sign。#1,#2,#3…… 就读作:Number One, Number Two, Number Three……

2.符号「*」

这个符号本身读作:asterisk ['æstərɪsk] 。电话语音里常读作:star key。

如果打电话需要转分机呢?咱们来看看相关英语表达:

1. May/Can I have extension two-one-one?

能帮我转分机211吗?

2. May I speak to David, extension two-one-one?

我可以找211分机的大卫吗?

3. Please connect me with extension two-one-one.

请帮我转分机211.
