表达解析:
“I'm calling to follow up on...”——“follow up”是"跟进"的意思,是商务场合非常常见的表达,比“I'm calling about the proposal”多了一层"主动推进"的意味。
“Could I call you back this afternoon?”——“call back”是"回电",“I'll call you back”是承诺稍后回电的标准说法。
“I'll be available until 6 pm.”——告诉对方你能接电话的时间窗口,避免对方回电时你不方便接。
“I'm afraid Ms. Chen is not available at the moment.”— 恐怕陈女士现在不方便
“I'm afraid he is in a meeting right now.”— 他/她现在在开会
“He/She has stepped out for a moment.”— 他/她刚刚出去了

“Please have Mr. Wang return my call when he’s available. My number is one three three–one one two two–three three four four.” — 请王先生有空时回电给我。我的号码是一三三-一一二二-三三四四。

练习题
练习一(选择题)
知识点:接电话时表明身份的正确方式
你接起公司电话,对方问“May I speak to Li Wei?”,而你就是李维,下面哪个回应最专业?
A. Yes, that's me.
B. Speaking.
C. I am Li Wei, yes.
D. Who wants to know?
答案:B — Speaking.
“Speaking.”是电话中对“May I speak to...?”的最标准、最简洁的回应,意思是“我就是”。A“Yes, that's me.”在日常口语中也可以,但在商务电话中“Speaking.”更简练专业。C“I am Li Wei, yes.”有些啰嗦,不够简洁。D“Who wants to know?”(谁要知道?)语气非常不礼貌,在任何场合都不应该这样回应。
练习二(选择题)
知识点:电话中留言的正确表达
你打电话给一位同事,接线员说对方不在,你想留言请他回电。下面哪个表达是正确的?
A. Tell him to call me.
B. Could you ask him to call me back when he's available?
C. He needs to call me.
D. Leave him a message for me.
答案:B — Could you ask him to call me back when he's available?
留言请对方回电,正确的说法是“Could you ask [对方] to call me back?”。B 用了“Could you...?”礼貌请求,同时加上“when he's available”(方便时),语气体贴且自然。A 和 C 都是命令语气,对接线员来说显得无礼。D“Leave him a message for me.”语序有问题,更自然的说法是“Could you leave him a message for me?”(请帮我留个言)。
练习三(选择题)
知识点:“You're breaking up”的正确含义
通话中你对对方说“I'm losing you — you're breaking up.”,这句话的意思是:
A. 我要和你分手了
B. 你的声音断断续续,信号不好
C. 我快听不到你说话了,但你讲得很好
D. 我们的联系中断了,请重新连接
答案:B — 你的声音断断续续,信号不好
“You're breaking up.”在通讯语境中表示对方的声音因信号不好而断断续续,听不清楚。“break up”有多种含义,包括分手(关系),但在打电话时的语境下,说“breaking up”特指信号断续。“I'm losing you”同样是表示信号越来越差、快听不到了的口语表达。两个表达连用,非常强调当前通话信号极差,通常接下来会说“Could you call me back?”请对方重拨。
练习四(情景问答)
知识点:完整地打一个商务电话
情境: 你需要打电话给 Sunshine Restaurant,确认你明天晚上7点为6人预订的座位。对方接起电话后,你需要:① 自报姓名 ② 说明来电目的 ③ 确认预订细节 ④ 礼貌结束通话
参考答案:
餐厅: Good afternoon, Sunshine Restaurant!
(下午好,Sunshine 餐厅!)
你: Good afternoon! My name is Chen Jing. I'm calling to confirm a reservation I made for tomorrow evening. I booked a table for six people at 7 pm.
(下午好!我叫陈静。我打来是为了确认我预订的位置。我订了明天晚上7点,6人的桌子。)
餐厅: Yes, I can see that — Chen Jing, 7 pm, six guests. That's all confirmed.
(是的,我看到了——陈静,晚上7点,六位客人。已经确认好了。)
你: Wonderful, thank you! Is there anything I need to know, like parking or dress code?
(太好了,谢谢!有什么我需要了解的吗,比如停车或着装要求?)
餐厅: No special dress code. We have parking available on-site.
(没有特别的着装要求。我们有现场停车位。)
你: Perfect! Thank you so much. See you tomorrow evening.
(太好了!非常感谢。明天晚上见。)
要点: 自报姓名、说明来电目的(confirm + 预订细节),语言简洁清晰。“Is there anything I need to know?”是一个非常有用的收尾问句,能让你在结束通话前得到所有重要信息。
