如果你有需要和其他的公司进行联络,你会怎么做?打开电脑发一封Email?不够及时吧。打开手机发一条微信?不够正式吧。
虽然我们现在的通讯手段日新月异,但是无论怎样在职场上都少不了打电话这一个动作。可以说打电话沟通工作都是最广泛的联系方式,而且也是除了见面以外最直接、最及时的沟通交流方式。不过,中文打电话你一定没问题,但用英文打电话你会吗?
用英文打电话,不仅需要了解相关词汇和说法,还要注意老外的语言使用习惯。今天,华生就为你带来了10句对话例句及另外10句相关常用例句。
先来看10句对话例句,我们将模拟拨电话与接电话双方的通话:
1. (接电话方)拿起电话
Hello! This is Watson speaking.
(喂?这里是华生)
2. (拨电话方)说明目的
Hello, this is Robert calling for Steve.
(喂,我是Robert,我找Tom)
3. (接电话方)询问身份

4. (拨电话方)自报家门

5. (接电话方)询问分机

6. (拨电话方)查询分机

以上这10句话是平日里工作会遇到的最常见情况之一。不过只有这些或许还不够你用的。因为现实中我们还会遇到很多其他状况,比如遇到推销电话如何拒绝,遇到特殊情况该怎么描述等等。所以,我们再来看看另外10句与打电话相关的常用句子:
