1、Business English,王华玲 ,Unit Two,Telephone English,Part OneSpeaking,电话往来是现代商务交往的重要手段，绝大多数外贸公司都无法离开电话进行商务活动。但与日常生活打电话不同，打商务电话有其独特的礼节和技巧。电话谈话属口语交际。但由于电话本身的特点，电话用语又区别于一般日常交际用语。打电话时，谈话的双方都无法用面部表情和手势表达自己的思想；另外，打电话还受到时间的限制，也就是说，我们不能像平时面对面聊天那样，时间可以自己控制，因此，也就难免会产生交际的误会。因此，打电话时要求声音清晰，语言简练、明了，措辞恭敬。在日常商务电话往来中，掌握
2、一些接打电话的基本技巧是非常必要的。这些技巧包括如何应对陌生、紧急的来电，,Background Information,如何处理抱怨、无理取闹的电话，等等。还应注意，打完电话时，若对方是重要的客户、女性客户或长辈，应该先让对方挂电话。总之，通电话时一定要态度友善，语调温和，讲究礼貌。掌握恰当得体的接打电话技巧有助于改善双方的商务关系，促进商务发展。,Case 1: You are the person wanted on the phone,Is Daisy there？ This is she.

11、 soon as possible.,拨打国际商务电话，为了能更清楚、更详细、更有效地说明你想要了解的信息资料，列一个谈话的内容清单，这样不仅能帮助你节省时间，易于表达，同时也可以避免遗忘一些重要的内容。 打电话常遇到“Yeah”，“Hello”，“Yes”之类的简短回答，如果你想等对方先说话，可能等到的是对方挂上了电话，这会令双方感到尴尬。因此，打电话的人可以主动出击，常用的句子有：Good afternoon. Id like to speak to Mr. Smith of Accounting Department.Hello, this is Liu Zhong from Centr

13、ger of your company.Good morning. Can I speak to Mr. Smith of HR Department? 4. 接电话的礼仪最重要的就是第一印象。一拿起电话，应该先礼貌地问候一声“Good morning”或“Good afternoon”，并报出自己的单位、部门或个人的名字，一气呵成。,用英语接电话时，不能使用“Hello，hello”，这是不礼貌的。“Hello”习惯上只能用一次。为例避免对方的尴尬，可以主动地说：May I know who is calling/speaking?Is there anything I can help?I
14、s there anything I can do for you?Can I help anything?What can I do for you? 5. 如果接电话的人正好是打电话的人要找的人，可以说：This is he/she.Yes, its me.Yes. May I know whos calling?,Speaking. 6. 如果对方要找的人不在办公室，应主动帮助寻找，这是基本的礼貌礼仪。这方面的常用语有：Wait a minute. Ill just find out if he is in the other office.Hold on/the line, pleas
15、e. Let me see whether hes back yet.Sorry, he is not in this office. Do you know his extension? I can put you through. 7. 打电话的人和接电话的人在结束谈话时应致谢对方，但方式稍有不同。打电话的人通常都是有事相求的一方，因此常说：Thanks for your help.Thanks for the information.,I really appreciate your answer. 8. 注意：在有些商务场合，被求的一方也应致谢有求的一方。如：Thanks for ca

Youre welcome.注意：打电话不仅要熟练，而且还应有技巧，留商务口信是每个商务人员必备的基本知识。如果打电话要找的人由于某些原因不在，不能简单地说一声“He is not in”就挂上电话，一定要留下口信，以展示良好的公司文化和个人素
20、质，也便于将来主动联络。礼貌的回答会给对方留下美好的印象，如：Sorry, hes away for a few days. Can I give him a message?Im sorry, he has not come back yet.
