经典对白:
5-10 实用电话英语故事梗概上集中, Ross的三明沼彼上司误吃,他极为愤怒。对上司声吼叫,同事都叫他“神经病”,上司建议他去看心理医生,结果医生叫他服了镇静药,精神病医生让他休假。一下子没了工作, Ross觉得闲得发慌。于是, Joey想帮助他放松一下,找点儿乐子,Joey便又假装起Chandlen的一个暗恋者,给Chandler打骚扰电话。电话那头的Chandler对六个月以来莫名其妙的骚扰电话愤怒不已,而电话这头的Ross和Joev却在偷偷窃笑。此后,停职后的Ross百无聊赖,想教Joey写电影剧本。
但是,Ross希望Joey按计划完成剧本的时候,Chandler却想找Joey玩,两人因此关系紧秣。结果两人通过表演Joey写电影剧本,而相互向对方道歉,和好如初。
Joey: Ohh, no, no. We're not going to just sit. (Joey sits down and hits the speed dial button on the phone.) Shhh. (It begins to ring.)Chandler: (Answering the phone at work) Hello, Chandler Bing.
Joey: (In a high pitched female 4 voice) Hello Mr. Bing...I love you.
Chandler: (Angrily) Alright, whoever this is, stop calling me! (Ross and Joey laugh silently.) It's been six months! It's not funny!
Joey: But, I love you.
Chandler: Leave me alone! For the love of God, leave me alone!!! (Joey hangs up.)讲解这里所出现的“dial”和“hang up”是电话英语里常见的用法。随着通信技术的发展,相互的沟通通过电话显得越来越便捷。英语通话有其特定的语言规范,英汉电话用语有一定的差异,切忌用汉语的模式来套用。大家几乎都有手机,如果留心地话,会听到一些电话英语,比如说:
·You have an incoming call.(你有一个来电。)·You have a missed call.(你有未接来电。)·The subscriber 5 you dialed is power-off.(你所拨打的电话已关机。)·The subscriber you dialed is busy.Please wait and redial.(你所拨打的电话正在通话中,请稍候再拨。)·The line is busy/The line is engaged.(线路繁忙。/占线。)下面介绍一些日常生活中较实用的电话英语。
首先,请求接线员/总机接通电话(asking the operator/switchboard to put you through)你可以说:
·Can you help me to reach sb?(能帮我接一下……吗?)·Can you put me through to extension 6 911?(能帮我接通分机号911吗?)·Could you do me a favor and give me extension 911。please?(请帮我一个忙,接通分机号911好吗?)·Can you connect me with...?(请给我接……好吗?)I’d like to speak to sb.Please put my call through to sb.(我想给……打一个电话,请帮我接通。)·I’d like to place a long distance call to…(我想给……打一个长途电话。)·May I speak to Mr.Wang?(请问王先生在吗?)·Is this...?(你是……吗?)·Operator,I was cut off./I’ve been disconnected.(接线员,我的电话断了。)·Hold the line please.ok,you are through nOW.Receiver is on the line now.Go ahead,speak up.(别挂断。好了,电话现在接通了。受话人在接电话了。说吧。)其次:我们接电话(answeri’ng a phone call)时,通常会说:“喂,谁呀?”不同于中国人接电话的习惯,西方人一接起电话,不是问对方是谁,而是自报姓名。
·Hello,this is...speaking.Who’S calling?(你好,我是……,你是哪位?)Hello,this is...here.And who is that?(你好,我是……,你是?)Hello,Human Resource Department.Whorll am I speaking to?(你好,这里是人力资源部。你是哪位?)再次:如果你就是对方想要找的人,你可以说:
·Speaking./That’s me.(我就是。)This is he/she(speaking).(这就是。)还有:如果你不是对方想要找的人,你可以说:
Hang on/Hold on/A moment,please.I’ll see if he/she is in.(请稍侯。我看一下,他/她在不在。)Let me see whether I can get him/her on the phone.(我看看能不能找到他/她,让他/她听电话。)·Would you please hold the line just a minute?He’ll be right with you.
(请稍候。他马上就来接电话。)·Sorry,he/she is out/not in now./Sorry,but he/she is not available now.(对不起,他/她不在。)(对不起,他/她现在不方便接电话。)Sorry,he/she is tied up right now and couldn’t get to the phone.He/She will call you back later.(对不起,他/她现在无法分身,没办法接电话。之后,他/她会给你打回去的。)·I’m afraid you’ve got/dialed a wrong number.(恐怕你打错电话了。)此外,如果你不是对方想要找的人,另外一个人是,你叫那个人来接电话:
·...,your phone call!/...,you are wanted on the phone!(……,你的电话。)There’s a phone call for you.(这有你的电话。)·...。somebody is asking for you on the phone.(电话里有人找你。)·...,telephone!It’s for you.(……,电话!找你的。)最后,如果你问对方是否需要留言,你可以说:
·May I take a message?(要留话儿吗?)·Would you care/like to leave a message?(您能留个话吗?)·I’ll tell him that you called as soon as he comes back.(我会在他回来的时候告诉他你来电了。)·I’ll tell him to call you back later.(我会让他稍后给你回电。)我们还可以注意一下Friends中出现的其他电话英语情形,第1季第20集中,Joey和Monica他们寓所的对面一直有个人拿着望远镜偷窥他们的一举一动,这让他们非常不自在。通过门房,Joey打听到了偷窥者的名字叫Sidney,遂拨通了他寓所的电话。电话接通后,Joey说:Yeah,is Sidney there?(喂,请问Sidney在吗?)这种打电话的方式非常随便。你也可以说:Could I speak to Sidney,please?(能不能请Sidney听电话?)或:Hello?Get me Sidney on the phone please.(喂?请Sidney听电话。)本打算斥责一通他的这种不道德的行为,可等对方接了电话他才知道偷窥者是个女的。回答的时候,Joey竟然和人家聊了起来,还说自己平时的运动也就是free weight。所谓“free weight”其实就是举举哑铃(dumbbell)或是杠铃(barbell)什么的运动。
在第4季第24集中,Rachel不顾一切飞到了伦敦,她想告诉Ross她爱他。Phoebe先是想办法打电话到Emily(Ross的未婚妻)家(在伦敦),谁想被管家奚落了一番,还教训她不懂得如何打电话。
常常打电话时,你会先报自家姓名,然后再说出通话的对象:Hello!This is Iohn Curtain speaking.Is Mr.Doner in?(喂?我是John Curtain。Doner先生在吗?)电话接通后,如果你听出对方是谁,你可以说:Is that you,Mr.Mailer?(是Mailer先生吗?)接电话也有不少技巧需要掌握。接到电话时一般情况下首先要说:
Hello.(喂。)但要注意的是Hello.只说一次就可以了,不要像中文那样有时连说几次“喂喂”。假如你在公司工作,可以这样接电话:Hello,International Office Equipment.May I help you?(你好,国际办公设备。有什么需要帮忙的吗?)如果是本人接电话,你可以说:Hello? This is John here.Who’s speaking?(喂?我是lohn。您哪一位?)当然为了省事,你也可以简单地说:This is.he/she.(我就是。)或:Speaking.(我是。)如果对方要找的人不在附近,你要去看看他在不在时应该说:Would you hold?I’ll see ifhe’s in.(你稍等,我去看看他在不在。)如果对方在,你要去把他叫来时应该说:Just a minute,I’ll get her.(稍等一下,我把他叫来听电话。)表示“稍等”的说法还有:Hold on.;Just a sec.;Hang on;Hold on a sec.;Wait a minute.;Hold the line.等。
如果对方要找的人不在,则应该说:Sorry,but he’s not here at the moment.(对不起,他现在不在这儿。)或:Sorry,but he’s out.(对不起,他出去了。)如果想问对方是否留口信,可以说:Can I take a message?(要留个口信吗?)复杂一些还可以说:Do you want to leave word with me that you called?(你想留话让我转达吗,就说你打过电话了?)或:Will you call back laler or I should leave word for him to call you?(你以后再打电话来,还是留个信叫他打电话给你?)有时我们会打错电话。人难免都会犯错,不是有这样一句话么:To err 7 is human,to forgive divine 8.(犯错人皆难免,宽恕则属超凡。)关键是打错电话可不能一言不发就挂断,应该直接道歉:I’m sorry.I must have the wrong number.(抱歉,我打错了。)而接到对方打错电话时可以说:
You’ve got the wrong number.(你打错了。)或:There’s no ODe here bv that name.You must have dialed the wrong number.(这里没有这个人,你肯定打错了。)hang up在这里的意思是“挂断电话,结束电话交谈。”例如:How dare you to hang up on me?(你竟然敢挂我的电话?)此外,它还有“搁置,中止,拖延,妨碍,推迟”的意思,相当于delay,postpone,put off,impede,hinder等。例如:Budget problems hung up the project for months.(预算问题使得该工程推迟了几个月。)另一个较常用的短语是“hang on”,它可用作电话用语,意思是“别挂断”。例如:Hang on.She will be on the phone in a second.(别挂断电话。她一会儿就会来接电话。)日常生活中,当我们想让对方稍等片刻时,也常用“hang on”,相当于“hold on”。例如:Hang on a minute;I’m iust coming.(请稍等一下,我马上就来。)又如:Hang on!Hold on!I’ll check it out for you.(稍等一下,我给你.查一下。)
