Unit 6有一段打電話的對話,你知道如何用英語打電話嗎?
◆在西方國家,電話鈴響后,接電話的人拿起電話后,應說Hello,并“自報家門”,包括自己所在單位、住址或電話號碼。如:
Hello!This is No. 14 Middle School. 您好,這里是第十四中學。
Hello!5658508. 您好,這里是5658508。
◆電話中說“我是……”要用“This is…”,而不能說“I am…”。如:
Hello!5658508. This is Mr Wang. 您好,這里是5658508,我是王先生。
◆問對方是誰時,不說“Who are you?”而用“Whos that?”;如問對方“是……嗎?”不說“Are you…?”而要用“Is that…?”。如:
Hello, this is Bill. Whos that? 您好,我是比爾,您是哪位?
——Is that Mrs Green? 您是格林夫人嗎?
——Yes. Whos that? 是的,您是哪位?
◆打電話問某人在不在時,常用Hello!May/Could I speak to…? (您好,我可以和×××通電話嗎?)如果對方要找的人正是你,你應該說:Yes, speaking!如果對方要找的人不在,你應該說:Sorry, he/she isnt here.(對不起,他/她不在這兒。) 如:
——Hello. May/Could I speak to Mike? 您好,我可以和邁克通電話嗎?
——Yes, speaking. 是的,我就是。
——Hello!May/Could I speak to Miss Wang? 您好!我可以和王小姐通電話嗎?
——Sorry, she isnt here. 對不起,她不在。
◆當打電話結(jié)束時,要說“Bye-bye!/See you./Thanks for calling.”之類的告別語。
同學們,相信你已經(jīng)會用英語打電話了吧!下面是2009年襄樊市中考英語題,請你拿起筆將它補充完整,好嗎?
