Culture Notes


1. 中国人打电话时总是说“我是 XXX” ，“请问你是……”，但是用英文打电话时很少会说到 I am …, Are you … ，而是应该说 This is …, Is that … 。若是问对方 Who are you? 则会显得非常无礼貌。英语中较常见的表达方式是 Who’s calling/speaking, please? （请问您是哪一位？）

2. 中国人打电话时一般都由打电话方先报姓名，而在英语国家则不然。一般来说，他们拿起话筒会先打招呼，说 Hello ，然后再自报姓名，或是报出自己的电话号码，不会让对方去猜。如： Hello, this is Dan speaking.（你好，我是丹。） Hello, 3401-4255. （你好，这里是 3401-4255 。）

3. 通话时，如果接电话的人恰巧是要找的人，一般会说 Speaking 或 This is Mark speaking. （我就是马克。）如果要找的人碰巧不在，接电话的人也常会主动提出 May I take a message for you? （我能帮你捎个口信吗？）

Culture Notes


4. 接听商务电话时，接线员或是秘书拿起话筒后说的第一句话一般是自报公司或者上司、经理等办公室的名称，然后自报姓名，接下来再说 May/Can I help you? 如： Good morning, ABC Company. This is Janet speaking. Can I help you? （早上好！这里是 ABC 公司。我是 Janet 。能为您效劳吗？）又如： Hello, General Manager’s office. May I help you? （您好！总经理办公室。可为您效劳吗？）

5. 替别人写电话留言时一般可以说 Can I take a message (for him/her)? （我可以记下您给他 / 她的留言吗？）或者 Would you like to leave him a message please? （您要给他留言吗？）
