在日常生活中,當(dāng)我們接到電話,尤其是陌生來(lái)電時(shí),會(huì)習(xí)慣性地問(wèn)一句:“喂?誰(shuí)???”,以此來(lái)確定對(duì)方身份。
那么,你有沒(méi)有想過(guò)老外接打電話時(shí)的情景呢?當(dāng)然,他們和我們一樣,都會(huì)問(wèn)“喂?誰(shuí)???”,不過(guò)對(duì)應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)你能想到嗎?
要表達(dá)“(你是)誰(shuí)”其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單,大家第一時(shí)間會(huì)想到“Who are you?”,不過(guò)考慮到“接打電話”這個(gè)語(yǔ)境,這一表達(dá)其實(shí)是十分不禮貌的。
在外國(guó)人眼中,“Who are you?”太過(guò)直接和粗魯,且極為不禮貌。就相當(dāng)于我們中文里的“你丫誰(shuí)啊?”,語(yǔ)氣有些許暴躁,太容易冒犯別人。所以,普特君今天就為大家介紹一些禮貌性表達(dá)及相關(guān)情境下的用語(yǔ)。
一、通電話問(wèn)“你是誰(shuí)?”的禮貌表達(dá)在許多外國(guó)人眼中,“Who is this?”是最簡(jiǎn)潔和最合理的表達(dá)之一,而且不含冒犯他人之意,是個(gè)禮貌性表達(dá)。
A: Hey, is Natalie there?當(dāng)然了,“Who is it?”也是老外最常用的口語(yǔ)化表達(dá)之一,也比較禮貌。“Hello, who is it?”,he picked up the telephone and said.
“你好,哪位?”,他拿起電話說(shuō)道。
③ May I ask who is calling?
“我能請(qǐng)問(wèn)下是哪位呢?”,這可能是目前最為安全和禮貌的表達(dá)了,在專業(yè)的場(chǎng)景下(比如說(shuō)公司前臺(tái))使用頻率很高。A: Hello, is Boris there?A: 您好,請(qǐng)問(wèn)鮑里斯在嗎?B: Sorry, he is being abroad on business. May I ask who is calling? B: 抱歉,他現(xiàn)正在出差。請(qǐng)問(wèn)你是?
④ Would you mind telling who is calling?“介意告訴我你是誰(shuí)嗎?”,可以說(shuō)是一個(gè)非常正式的表達(dá)了。Ben is not there. Would you mind telling who is calling?注:③④表達(dá)中的calling可以替換為speaking。提問(wèn)有一套,問(wèn)答當(dāng)然有一套。提問(wèn)不能是“Who are you?”,回答自然也不能是“I'm XXX”,所以正確的表達(dá)方式應(yīng)該是“This is XXX (speaking).”
A:Hello, May I ask who is speaking?B:This is Maria speaking.三、場(chǎng)景一:請(qǐng)對(duì)方等一下有時(shí),正當(dāng)你接電話的時(shí)候,突然有事將你打斷?;蛘邔?duì)方是想通過(guò)你找到目標(biāo)人時(shí),你就需要請(qǐng)對(duì)方等一下了。那么,用英語(yǔ)要怎么說(shuō)呢?④ I'll put you through now.四、場(chǎng)景二:聽(tīng)不清楚對(duì)方的話有時(shí)因?yàn)榄h(huán)境嘈雜,或者信號(hào)不好,或者對(duì)方語(yǔ)速過(guò)快,而導(dǎo)致聽(tīng)不清楚對(duì)方的話。這時(shí)在通話中該如何用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)呢?
我?guī)缀趼?tīng)不到你說(shuō)啥。③ Sorry, I'm breaking up.④ Sorry, I can't hear you very well.⑤ Could you speak a bit more loudly, please?⑥Would you mind speaking a little more slowly, please? ⑧ Could you repeat that, please?您能重復(fù)一遍剛剛說(shuō)過(guò)的話嗎?生活總是伴隨著意外的發(fā)生。有時(shí)候,我們會(huì)有急事找某人,要么是問(wèn)中間人某人的電話號(hào)碼,要么是問(wèn)中間人某人的具體坐標(biāo)。這時(shí)候,表達(dá)常常是開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山的。①It is urgent. Could I have her phone number?事發(fā)緊急。您可以給我她的電話號(hào)碼嗎?
②Could you tell me where I can reach her?③This is an emergency. I need to get in contact with her right now.事發(fā)緊急。我急需立刻與她取得聯(lián)系。有時(shí)候,當(dāng)打電話要找的人不在,我們可以選擇留言。① Please ask your sister to call me back.② Could you take a message for your roomate?③ My teacher is not available at the moment. But I can take a message for you.我老師這會(huì)兒不在。不過(guò),我可以幫你捎個(gè)口信。“感謝您的來(lái)電,祝您生活愉快。再見(jiàn)?!?,平時(shí)大家撥打客戶電話解決完問(wèn)題后都會(huì)聽(tīng)到這樣的結(jié)束語(yǔ)。用英語(yǔ)該如何表達(dá)呢?其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單。① Thanks for your calling.
