3. 我可以借您的電話用一下嗎?

5. 如何打外線?

解析:*1. public phone 是公用電話, pay phone 也是(投幣式)公用電話;而公用電話亭則是telephone booth.*2. 在外打公用電話就表示無法讓對方回電,所以通常會再告知下次聯絡時間或方式。*3. 有時找不到公用電話, 必要時需向商家借用電話,或者在別人的公司借電話時可用以上幾句。*4. outside line 是“電話外線”,而extension 爲電話(內線)分機。

6、電話答錄機:

1This 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。我現在不在家,請在"嗶"的一聲之後開始留言。謝謝!

7、訂購商品及詢問:

1. I’d like to place an order for your party dress from your catalog.

9. 我打電話是因爲一個月前我訂的東西。產品到現在都還沒到。

解析:

2. commercial有(電視、廣播中的)商業廣告之意,也可說成commercial film, 簡稱爲c.f. 。而advertisement則指(平面的)廣告,簡稱爲ad; advertisement mail 是廣告郵件; advertisement column是廣告欄,這些都是很常用到的。

3. place 有開出訂單之意。ie: to place an order with sb. (和某人訂訂單)

8、道謝接受別人的禮物或招待後,打電話道謝爲最起碼的禮貌之一:

2. 非常謝謝你作的蛋糕。

3. 真不知道要如何謝謝你, 這麼漂亮的花。

4. 我收到你的禮物了。謝謝你可愛的手鐲。

3. Sorry, I didn’t get what you said. 對不起,我沒聽懂你說的話。

4. I can’t hear you very well. 我聽不太清楚。

7. We have a bad connection. 通訊效果不太好。8. I can’t catch what you are saying. 我聽不太清楚你說的話。

發生上面的情況,你可以請對方在重複一遍,你可以說:

1. Pardon?請再說一遍好嗎?

2. Excuse me? 請再說一遍?上列兩句都是對不起之意,但用在會話上,如果後面沒有接說明,並且語尾上揚,就是要對方再說一次。聽到這句話時就要知道對方要自己再說一遍。

3. I beg you pardon? 能請你再說一遍嗎?(此句有請求對方原諒及再說一次的意思)

4. Could you repeat that, please? 能請你再說一遍嗎?

5. Would you say that again? 你能再說一遍嗎?

4. extension two-one-one, please.

5. please connect me with extension two-one-one.

6. could you put me through to the personnel department, please?

翻譯:***通常句子都是越長越禮貌,太簡短會讓人有魯莽的感覺。

2. 能幫我轉分機211嗎?

3. 我可以找211分機的大衛嗎?
