比如:May I (please) speak to Mr. Smith?

2. I'd like to speak to [person's name], please.
比如:I'd like to speak to Mr. Smith, please. 如果你很确定你要找谁,可以用这样的句型。



如何阐明打电话原因?


一般打电话时候,开头的时候,你需要稍微阐释下,为什么你要打这通电话,这样双方能知判断下面该如何处理,是直接对话,还是需要转达等。

那么,阐释打电话原因有哪些常用句式呢?

打电话开始时候少不了寒暄一下。英文里,管这个叫做small talk,那么寒暄话如何说呢?


1. Hi, [first name], how are you?
如果你记不起来具体要说什么了,或者难以开口直接请别人帮忙,可以用这样比较general的句型作为开头,做为ice breaker.

2. How are you getting on with…?
如果你能记住具体细节,想要以此拉近和对方关系,可以用这句。比如,如果你记得对方公司刚刚搬进一幢新的大楼,你可以这么说:
How are you getting on with preparations to change office buildings next month?下个月你要搬去新大楼了,准备得怎样了?
