虽然手机和网络将人与人的距离拉得无限近,但关机(power off)、断网(Internet disconnection)或是离线(AFK:away from the keyboard)等“天灾人祸”还是难以避免。因此,帮人传话、带信儿就发挥着至关重要的作用。可是这些英文表达小伙伴们都熟悉吗?今天安迪英语Cherry老师带大家一起玩转电话用语吧!
1. 怎么自报家门和来意
Ø 第一句相互介绍时,不用I和You,得用this 和that,如:
This is Jane. 我是Jane。
This is Jane speaking. Is that Mary? 你是Mary吗?
Ø 在表达自己的来意时,越委婉越得体。
Could (May) I talk/speak to Mary? 我能找下Marry吗?
Could you put Lily on the phone? 能麻烦让Lily接电话吗?
Could you put me through to Lee? 能帮我接通Lee吗?

2. 怎样回应
Ø 如果运气好
This is Mary here. What can I do for you? 我就是Marry,有什么可以为您效劳的吗?
这说法礼貌得体,但略显生疏。如果是老朋友的话,自然一句what’s wrong/what’s up更合适啦.
Ø 如果运气不好
I’m sorry. Marry is not here right now. This is Jack, her colleague.
不好意思,Marry现在不在。我是Jack。
当然,也可以主动提出:Could you take a message?
3. 怎样询问要找的人的去向
Ø 去哪儿了
Do you happen to know where she went? 您知道Mary去哪儿了吗?
I was wondering if you know where Mary went.
Ø 何时回
Do you happen to know when she will come back? 您知道Mary何时回来吗?
May I know when she will be back?
4. 带口信
Ø 请求带口信
Could you take a message for me? 能帮我带个口信吗?
Ø 口信内容
Please tell her there is a party / meeting tonight at 8 o’clock at room 701 of Xinke building.
Please tell her to come to my party / the meeting tonight at 8 o’clock at my office.
麻烦告诉她晚上八点新科大厦有个局/会。
将时间、地点、活动一句带出,既简洁又清晰。

Ø 其他要求
如果有其他要求也可以提出来。比如说:
Please tell her it’s a formal occasion. It’s better to dress in code.
请告诉她这是个正式的场合,需要注意着装。
Please tell her to dress in costume. It’s a horror/romance/magic theme fancy ball.
请告诉她这是个恐怖/浪漫/魔幻主题的化妆舞会,得角色扮演
Please tell her to prepare a report/presentation of the sales/overall condition of the
company/this month. 请告诉她准备一个关于本月销售情况的报告/公司情况的介绍。
Ø 万全对策
若是一言难尽也有对策
Please tell her to call me back/ return my phone call.
麻烦叫她给我回个电话。
5. 怎样转达信息
Marry. You had a phone call while you were away. 你不在的时候有人给你来电了。
Jane told you to come to her party / the meeting tonight at 8 o’clock at Xinke building.
Jane让你八点在新科大厦参加party/meeting。
Marry, Jane told you to call her back. Jane让你给她回电话。
要是Jack有什么信息没说清楚的,Mary要继续追问的话。
Did she mention the time/address/occasion? 她有提到时间/地点/场合吗?
Did she leave a number and other information? 她有留下号码或其他信息吗?
Tips
1. 给别人带信时最好take a note, 要是忘记或是记错什么重要的信息就不妙了哦。
2. 作为说英语的文化人,大家一定要please/sorry/thank you/May I/could you不离口哦!
