Basic Phone Answering · 基本接听电话
basicHi, is this Wei? This is Dr. Miller's office calling.
你好，请问是 Wei 吗？这里是 Miller 医生的办公室。
Yes, this is Wei speaking. How can I help you?
是的，我是 Wei。请问有什么事？
💡 接电话时说 "This is [name] speaking" 是标准用语。中国人习惯说 "I am Wei"，但在电话中 "This is Wei" 才是正确说法。
I'm calling to confirm your appointment for this Thursday at two PM. Does that still work for you?
我打电话来确认您本周四下午两点的预约。时间还合适吗？
Yes, Thursday at two works perfectly. Should I bring anything with me?
是的，周四两点没问题。我需要带什么东西吗？
💡 在美国看医生前问 "Should I bring anything?" 很常见。通常需要带保险卡（insurance card）、身份证（photo ID）和之前的医疗记录（medical records）。
Just your insurance card and a photo ID. If you have any questions before then, don't hesitate to call us back.
只需要带保险卡和带照片的证件。如果之前有任何问题，随时给我们回电话。
Got it. Thank you for calling to confirm. See you Thursday!
明白了。谢谢来电确认。周四见！
💡 电话结束时说 "Thank you for calling" 表示感谢对方来电。"See you Thursday" 是友好的道别方式。美国人电话结束前通常会多说几句客套话再挂。
Phone Messages and Transfers · 电话留言和转接
intermediateHi, I'd like to speak with Mr. Johnson, please. This is Wei calling about the lease agreement.
你好，我想找 Johnson 先生。我是 Wei，关于租约的事。
💡 打电话找人时说 "I'd like to speak with..." 是标准用语。自报姓名和来意可以帮助前台快速转接。在美国，打商务电话时直接说明目的很常见。
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson is in a meeting right now. Can I take a message, or would you like to call back later?
抱歉，Johnson 先生现在在开会。您要留言还是稍后回电？
Could you please let him know that Wei called? My number is 555-0123. I'd appreciate it if he could call me back when he's free.
能请您转告他 Wei 来过电话吗？我的号码是 555-0123。如果他方便时能回我电话就太好了。
💡 留言时要说清楚三要素：你是谁、你的电话号码、请对方回电。"I'd appreciate it if..." 是非常礼貌的请求方式。
Sure thing. Wei, 555-0123, regarding the lease agreement. I'll make sure he gets the message.
没问题。Wei，555-0123，关于租约。我一定会把留言转达给他。
Thank you so much. Oh, one more thing — is there a direct number I can reach him at next time?
非常感谢。哦，还有一件事——下次有没有直线电话可以直接联系他？
💡 "direct number" 或 "direct line" 是直线电话，可以绕过前台直接打到某人分机。在美国商务环境中，问对方的直线号码是很正常的。
His direct extension is 204. You can dial our main number and then press 204 to reach him directly.
他的直线分机是 204。您拨我们的主号然后按 204 就可以直接找到他。
