和外国人通电话时,可以使用以下一些基本的英语交流技巧。
1、打招呼和自我介绍:
Hello, hello. This is your name speaking.
或者
Hi, who’s this? This is your name.
2、表达你想打电话的原因:
I’m calling to discuss about our project.
或者
I’m calling to ask about your experience with something.
3、表达感谢接电话:

Thank you for taking my call.
或者
Thanks for getting back to me.
4、结束语:
Thank you for your time today. I appreciate our discussion.
或者
It was nice talking to you. I’ll let you go now. Goodbye.
以下是一个具体的电话对话示例:
A (接电话):Hello, this is A speaking. Who’s calling?
B (打电话的人):Hello, this is B. I’m calling to discuss our business partnership. Could you please help me with that?

A:Of course, I’d be happy to help. Can you tell me more about what you want to discuss?
B:Well, I’d like to know your thoughts on expanding our business to other countries. What are your thoughts on this?
A:That’s a great idea. We’ve been thinking about it too. Let me get my manager on the phone so we can discuss this in detail. Can you hold for a moment?
B:Yes, of course. Take your time.
A:Thank you for your patience. I’ll be right back. (挂断电话,然后找经理)
... (讨论结束后)
A:Thank you for your time today, B. I really appreciate our discussion. I hope we can work together on this project soon. Goodbye.
B:Yeah, me too. It was nice talking to you. Goodbye. (挂断电话)
在通话过程中保持礼貌和尊重是非常重要的,如果有任何语言上的困难,不要害怕请求对方重复或解释,语言是用来沟通的,而不是用来制造障碍的。
