* 念一串电话号码时,最好每三个或四个数字中间停顿一下。* 连在一起的两个或三个相同数字,可以用double或triple。222读作triple two; 3344读作double three, double four;5555读作double five, double five;如果要说成“five five five five”也可以,到那时不要说成four five,那是45。* @读作“at”,所以john@gmail.com就是“john, at, gmail, dot, com”。* 如果用户名的部分有标点符号,常见的几种这样读:May I ask who's callling? Could I have your name, please?请问您是?/ 能否告知我您的姓名?* 在公司,接电话要先报上自己的名字。但不要说“I am”或'My name is',直接在自己的名字后面加上“speaking”就可以了。Hello, John Smith speaking.您好,我是约翰史密斯。Can I speak to Mr. Smith, please? Is Mr. Smith there, please?A: Can i speak to Jane, please?* 对方要找的人不在,你可以说明情况,注意在句首礼貌地加上'I'm afraid'或者“I'm sorry”。I'm afraid Mr. Smith is out fo the office today.I'm afraid his line in busy.would you like to leave a message?Could you take a message?Coule you ask him to call me back?/ return my call?I'm sorry, could you speak up/ louder, please?I'm sorry, I can't hear you very well.I'm sorry, the line's bad --could you repeat what you just said?I'm sorry, could you repeat that please?Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.Sorry, I didn't catch your name.I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Could you say it again, please?I'm afraid I didn't follow you. Could you repeat it, please?I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Would you mind explaining it again.Actually, it's 16, not 60.I'm sorry, but I think there's been a misunderstanding. The paper's due next week, not next month.不好意思,我认为这里有些误会。这个论文作业的截止日期是下周,而不是下个月。I'm sorry, but that's not quite right.So if I understand you correctly...when you say... do you mean...?
