史上最全的英文電話用語
Communicative skills are very important. Communicating properly on the phone is especially important, as the person you are speaking to cannot see your facial Movement or your body language. They rely completely on what you are saying, and how you are speaking, to understand you fully.
溝通技巧非常重要。通過電話進行適當的交流尤其重要，因爲你正在交談的人看不到你的面部動作或肢體語言。他們完全依賴於你所說的話和你說話的方式，來完全理解你。
As well as speaking clearly when talking on the phone, it is vital to use the right level of formality. If you are too formal, people might find it difficult to feel comfortable when talking to you. If you are too informal, they might think you are being rude!
在打電話時，除了要說清楚外，重要的是要用正確的禮節。如果你太拘謹，人們可能會發現和你談話時很難感到舒服。如果你太隨便，他們可能會認爲你很粗魯！
Generally speaking, when you are calling in a business context (making calls related to employment, finances, law, health or applications of any sort), you should show politeness by using words like:
一般來說，當你在商務環境中打電話（打與就業、財務、法律、健康或任何形式的應用相關的電話）時，你應該禮貌地使用以下詞語：
could/would/can/may when making a request.
提出請求時可以使用could/would/can/may
When you ask for something, or receive help or information, you should use:
當你要求某事，或接受幫助或信息時，你應該使用：
please/thank you/thank you very much.
請/謝謝/非常感謝。
It is also okay to use some of the informal features of the English language such as short forms, phrasal verbs and words like okay and bye – in other words, everyday English! So phrases like:
也可以使用英語的一些非正式特徵，如簡短的形式，短語動詞和像“好”和“再見”這樣的詞-換句話說，日常英語！所以像這樣的短語：
‘I’m off to a conference, okay, bye’,
“我要去開會了，好的，再見”，
‘Hang on a moment, I’ll put you through’are perfectly acceptable, as long as the overall tone of your voice is polite and friendly.
“等一下，我幫你接通”是完全可以接受的，只要你的聲音的整體基調是禮貌和友好的。
Phone Conversation in English
英語中的電話用語
If it is more of an informal phone conversation (speaking to a friend, family member, close work colleague or even a friend of a friend), then a high level of formality is usually not required, but you should still speak with a polite manner, as it is seen as respectful.
如果更多的是非正式的電話交談（與朋友、家人、親密的同事甚至朋友的朋友交談），那麼通常不需要高度的禮節，但你還是應該禮貌地說話，因爲這被視爲是尊重。
It’s fine to use less formal phrases in these conversations, such as
在這些對話中使用不太正式的短語是可以的，比如
‘thanks’/‘cheers’/‘bye’/‘okay’/‘no problem’
'謝謝'/'乾杯'/'再見'/'好的'/'沒問題'
Another useful thing to remember is, it’s better to ask for help or clarification when you’re having a telephone conversation, than to pretend you understand something that you didn’t. It is absolutely fine to use phrases like:
另一個需要記住的有用的事情是，當你在電話中交談時，最好尋求幫助或澄清，而不是假裝你懂一些你不懂的東西。使用以下短語是絕對可以的：
‘Could you repeat that please?’/‘Could you speak a little more slowly please?’/‘Would you mind spelling that for me please?’
“你能重複一遍嗎？“/”你能說慢一點嗎？“/”請你幫我拼一下好嗎？’
Using phrases like these will help you to have a more successful phone call, and may save you from any problems later on. You could always say:
使用這樣的短語將有助於你有一個更成功的電話，並可能節省你以後的任何問題。你總是可以說：
‘I’m afraid the line is quite bad’, if you can’t hear very well.
如果你聽不太清楚的話，恐怕線路很差。
It also a good idea to practise words, phrases and vocabulary that you might need to use, before the call! So to help you out a little, here is a list of commonly used phrases:
在打電話之前練習你可能需要用到的單詞、短語和詞彙也是個好主意！所以爲了幫你一點忙，這裏有一個常用短語的列表：
introduction, opening, initiation, first contact, meeting
介紹、開幕、啓動、首次接觸、會議

If answering a business call, start by introducing yourself or if the caller fails to identify themselves, then you could ask them to state who they are by using the following phrases:

phrasal verbs about talking on the phone：Common Phrasal Verbs
打電話的短語動詞：常用短語動詞

4. get through: to be connected to someone on the phone
接通：通過電話與某人連接

5. hang up: means to put the receiver down
掛斷：指放下聽筒

10. get back to (someone): means to return someone’s call

11. cut off: to be disconnected abruptly during a telephone conversation

‘I’m afraid I can’t hear you very well, could you speak up a little please?’
恐怕我聽不太清楚，請你大聲點好嗎？
Hold on means ‘wait’ – and hang on means ‘wait’ too. Be careful not to confuse hang on with hang up! Hang up means ‘finish the call by breaking the connection’ – in other words: ‘put the phone down.’ Another phrasal verb with the same meaning as hang up is ring off, but this isn’t as commonly used as some of the other phrasal verbs listed above. The opposite of hang up / ring off is ring up – if you ring somebody up, you make a phone call. And if you pick up the phone (or pick the phone up), you answer a call when the phone rings.
堅持意味着“等待”，堅持也意味着“等待”。小心別把掛斷和掛斷搞混了！“掛斷”的意思是“斷開連接完成通話”，也就是說：“放下電話”。另一個與“掛斷”意思相同的短語動詞正在響，但這並不像上面列出的其他短語動詞那樣常用。掛斷電話的反面是打電話——如果你給某人打電話，你就會打電話。如果你拿起電話（或拿起電話），你會在電話鈴響時接聽電話。
“Hang on a second…”
“等一下…”
If you are talking to a receptionist, secretary or switchboard operator, they may ask you to hang on while they put you through – put through means to connect your call to another telephone. With this verb, the object (you, me, him, her etc.) goes in the middle of the verb: put you through. But if you can’t get through to (contact on the phone) the person you want to talk to, you might be able to leave a message asking them to call you back. Call back means to return a phone call – and if you use an object (you, me, him, her, etc.), it goes in the middle of the verb: call you back. Now you can start making those calls!
如果你正在和接待員、祕書或總機接線員通話，他們可能會讓你在接通電話的時候掛斷電話——接通電話的方式將你的電話連接到另一部電話。用這個動詞，賓語（你，我，他，她等等）在動詞中間：把你接過去。但如果你無法聯繫到你想找的人，你可以留言讓他們給你回電話。回撥意味着回撥一個電話——如果你使用一個對象（你，我，他，她等等），它會出現在動詞的中間：回撥你。現在你可以開始打電話了！
