打电话和接电话英语口语用语电话英语中最基本的就是打电话和接电话,而中文和英文在电话用语方面更是有着很大的区别,比如,我们中文中如果是接电话会说:我是某某人,请讲,所以对应的英语翻译是: iam--.speaking,please。
但是英语却不是这样的,正确的英语是: This is --speaking。
我们先通过以下三段对话来了解一下这方面的差异:Dialogue AA:Hello?B:Hello.is this 4474716?I'd like to speak to Mr .Wang,please?A:I'm sorry.Mr .Wang is out right now.B:May I know when he'll be back?A:I don't know ,but he will certainly be back for lunch.This is his wife speaking.Can I take a message for him?B:Thank you,Mrs.Wang.Please tell him to be at the airport one hour before tomorrow afternoon .A:Very good.I'll let him know as soon as he comes back.But,may I have your name,please?B: This is Lin Ming.Thank you.Bye.A:Good-bye.Dialogue BA:Good morning.B:Good morning.This is Li Gang here I'm calling from New York in America.A:How can I help you?B:I'm trying to get hold of Mr .Chen.Is he available?A:I'lljustfindoutforyou ,sir ⋯ Hello,areyoustillthere ?Unfortunately ,Mr .Chenisnotavailableat themoment.Would you like me to put you through to Mr .Li?B:Yes,please.That's very kind of you.A:You're welcome.Dialogue C(A:Jane B:Mary C:Sue)A:Hello!B:Hello!Good morning.Who is that speaking?A:It's Jane.I'm so sorry that I made such an early phone call.B:It's nothing.Who do you wish to talk to?A:Is Sue James in?B:Sue!Jane wants you on the phone.A:Hello!Is Sue there?C:Yes,speaking.A:Oh,sorry,I'm afraid I won't attend the meeting this morning .Last night I had a sore throat and I started gettingbot.C:Do you have a temperature?Have you taken it?A:No,haven't yet.C:Don't worry about the meeting .You'd better go to see a doctor.I wish you will soon be well.A:Thank you,Sue.Bye.B:Bye.通以上三段小,我了解了英的一些基本的口用法和表达。
