英语打电话用语
中国人与英美人打电话有很大差异。用英语打电话要掌握以下几点：
1. 打电话人接通电话后可说：Hello ！接着说：This is sb. speaking. / Could （May）I speak to sb.?/Is sb. in? 但不能问：Who are you？接电话人可说：Hello！Good morning/afternoon/ evening.紧接着将自己的电话号码或姓名告诉对方。如：（This
is ）3531968./This is Jim speaking.
2. 问对方是谁，不说：Who are you ？而应说：Who's that speaking（calling）?/May
I have y our name? /Is that sb. （speaking）？
3.代人接电话，最好说：What name shall I give?/Who shall I say is calling? 若要离开去叫人，须跟对方说：Hold the line, please. I'll get him/her to phone.（别挂断，我就去找他（她）听电话。）或Hold on for a moment.（请等一会儿。）反之，若电话要找的人在身边，代接电话的人可说：It's for you.或For you. （你的电话。）
4. 如果打电话要找的人不在，代接电话的人可说：Sorry, he/she isn’t in.或I'm afraid he/she is out.（他／她不在。）如果问对方是否要留话，说：May I take a message for you? /Can I take a message? / Would you like to leave a message?
打电话者若要拜托接电话人转告要找的人某事时，可问：Could you take a message for me?/Please tell him （her）that（sth.）…….
/Tell him（her）I called./Will you please tell him （her）to c all me back later?
5.若对方打错电话，接电话者可说：Sorry, you've dialed the wrong number. 打电话人发现拔错号码，应说：Sorry, I've dialed the wrong number.
6.若电话的线路忙或有问题，可说：The line is busy. （占线。）The line is dead.（断线。）
