一、打电话(Making phone calls)

1、请给某人/某单位打电话

Would/could/can you ring up...?请你...打电话好吧?

句中ring up意思是“给某人打电话”,除了用ring up外,还可用call, call up, telephone 等,意思相同 can you...?用得最普通:could/would you...?用在正式场合,比较礼貌。

2、电话拨不通时常说:

The line is busy , I can‘t get through.电话占线,我打不通。

/ I’ll try again later.我过一会儿再打.

其中line指电话线路,get through 指接通电话。

3、电话拨通后相互打招呼:

Hello,(name or telephone number)你好,(并通报本人的姓名或单位名称或电话号码)Hello,is that...speaking?你是...吗?/ Who is that speaking/calling?你是谁?/ Who is speaking/calling, please?你是谁?

应答时常说:Yes,(this is)...speaking. 是的,我是..../ Yes, it‘s...here. 我是....


4、打电话请对方找人或留言:

Is...in/at home?某某在家吗?/ Can/may/could I speak to..., please?请...接电话好吗?/ Will/would you give a message to..., please?请给...捎个口信好吗?/ Would you tell him my telephone number, please?请你把我的电话号码告诉他好吗?/ Can/could you ask...to ring me back, please?请叫...给我回个电话好吗?

应答时常说:

Hold on/Wait a minute/One moment, please. 请等一等 / I‘m sorry...is not in./at home now.对不起,...现在不在 / Can I take a message?我能给你捎口信好吗?/ Does he have your telephone number?他有你的电话号码吗?/ I’ll ask him to call you back. 我叫他给你回电话
