要找的人不在

b: yes, one moment please. i'll get her for you.

a: 喂,我是卡羅,可以請陳小姐聽電話嗎?
b: 好,請等一下,我為你轉(zhuǎn)接。
a: 謝謝。
b: 對不起,她現(xiàn)在不在。
a: 那我在打給她。
自我介紹時,請注意:
1. "hello"等于是中文的 “喂”,隨時隨地可用。
2. 打電話先行自我介紹是一種禮貌。電話中最常用" this is~"的形態(tài)而不是 "here is~"或"i am~",這是打電話需要注意的。
3. " may i speak to~" 也可以換成是 "can i speak to~" 請~聽電話。
抱歉這么晚打來的說法:
1. I'm sorry to call you so late. 對不起這么晚打電話來。
2. I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time. 抱歉這種時候找你。(含有希望沒有打擾到你的意思)
3. I hope I didn't wake you up so early. 我希望這么早沒有吵到你。
4. I'm sorry to call you so early. 對不起這么早打電話來。
5. I'm sorry to bother you at this hour. 很抱歉在這時打擾你。
有急事時的表達方法:
1. It's urgent. Could I have her mobilephone number?
2. Could you tell me where I can reach her?
3. This is an emergency. I need to get in contact with him right now.
翻譯:
1. 我有急事,可不可以告訴我她的手機號碼?
2. 能不能告訴我在哪里可以找到她?
3. 我有急事,需要馬上跟他聯(lián)絡。
對方不在的說法:
1. It's nothing important. 沒什么重要事。
2. It's nothing urgent. Thank you ,good-bye. 沒什么要緊事,謝謝您,再見。
3. I'll call her again. 我會再打給她。
4. I'll call back later. 我稍后會再打來。
5. Please ask Miss Chen to call me back. 請陳小姐給我回電話。
6. Could you tell her to call Carol as soon as possible? 能不能請她盡快打電話給卡洛?

電話答錄機
This is a recording. I'm not at home now. Please leave a message after the beep. Thank you.
這是電話答錄機。我現(xiàn)在不在家,請在"嗶"的一聲之后開始留言。謝謝!
(*: 電話答錄機 是 telephone answering machine)
This is Carol. Pleae give me a call when you are free. My number is 2244-6688.
我是卡洛。有空請回電話給我。我的號碼是2244-6688.
對電話答錄機留話時與一般留言無異,說出以下重點即可:
1. 來電者姓名
2. 來電時間
3. 來電目的
4. 聯(lián)絡電話或方式
打公用電話
1. I'm calling from a public phone, so I'll call her again.
2. I'm not at home now, so I'll call her around three o'clock again.
3. May I use your phone?
4. Would you mind if I use your phone?

打錯電話:
1. I'm sorry I have the wrong number.
2. Is this 02-2718-5398?
3. Sorry to have bothered you.
4. I'm sorry. I think I must have dialed the wrong number.

02-2211-3224念成:area code zero-two, two-two-one-one-three-two-two-four.
