二、技巧：
随时记录
在手边放有纸和铅笔，随时记下你所听到的信息。
如果你没做好准备，而不得不请求对方重复，这样会使对方感到你心不在焉、没有认真听他说话。
自报家门
一拿起电话就应清晰说出自己的全名，有时也有必要说出自己所在单位的名称。
同样，一旦对方说出其姓名，你可以在谈话中不时地称呼对方的姓名。
转入正题
当你接听电话时，不要“哼哼哈哈”地拖延时间，而应立即做出反应。
一个好的开场白可能是：“您需要我做什么？”当你觉出对方有意拖延时间，你应立即说：“真不巧！我正要参加一个会议，不得不在5分钟后赶到会场。
”这样说会防止你们谈论不必要的琐事，加速商务谈话的进展。
避免将电话转给他人
自己接的电话尽量自己处理，只有在万不得已的情况下才能转给他人。
这时，你应该向对方解释一下原因，并请求对方原谅。
例如，你可以说：“布朗先生会处理好这件事的，请他和您通话好吗？”在你作出这种决定之前，应当确定地方愿意你将电话转给他人。
例如，你可以说：“对于这件事，我们很快会派人跟您联系的。
”
避免电话中止时间过长
在这里输入你的内容，注意不要用退格键把所有文字删除，请保留一个或者用鼠标选取后直接输入，防止格式错乱。
如果你在接电话时不得不中止电话而查阅一些资料，应当动作迅速。
你还可以有礼貌地向对方说：“您是稍候片刻，还是过一会儿我再给您打过去？”
让对方等候时，你可以按下等候键。
对于接电话的人来讲，当需要查阅资料而有礼貌地请对方稍等片刻，这是可以令对方接受的。
如果有人在你正在通话时打进电话，你可以选择合适的词语让你通话的人稍候。
然后拿起另一部电话说：“你能否稍等？我正在接听一个电话。
”如果打来电话的人只是有一些小事，便可以当即回绝，然后迅即转向第一个电话，而这个人也会意识到你很忙而加速你们的讨论。

如果他不在，请叫他的秘书来接电话。

扩展：议价时可能用到的句子
一般情况下在美国商店里买东西是没有讨价还价的。但很多情况下是可以的。比如美国人的garage sale，大街上的交易或跳蚤市场里的交易。 特别是有当你买大东西的时候，比如房子、车子时一定要记得和对方讲讲价。不然你就亏大了。 下面列举的是议价时可能用到的句子： How much is this? How much will that be? How much are these altogether? I think this is too expensive. That's little too much for me. Could you make it less for me? I can't afford it. This is too much. This is not a reasonable price. I don't have this much cash on me. Will you make it little cheap? What's the regular price? Do I get discount on this? Tell me what's the best price you can do for me? If I pay you cash， will you give me some discount? I'd buy this if you can make it a little less expensive. I'd buy it if you reduce the price a little. May I have a discount on this? Will you give me a discount? Can I have a discount? Would you give me a discount if I buy three of these?

Robin：Oh，hi Julie. Finally back from your vacation，I see.
Julie：What do you mean，“finally”?I feel like I've only been gone for two days instead of two weeks.
Robin：Well，you know what they say—“Time flies when you're having fun. ” You did have fun，didn't you?
Julie：Oh，it was marvelous. B. C. is so beautiful. And it was so nice to get away from this cold，miserable weather.
And those mountain views—they were absolutely breath taking.
Robin：How was Vancouver?
Julie：Busy. So much to see and do there. I hadn't realized how much I missed big-city life after being stuck out here in the boonies for so long(laughs)。
Robin：So what all did you do?
Julie：Oh，we went to Stanley Park and the aquarium，up Grouse Mountain，and to museums and galleries. All the usual touristy things.
Robin：Did you get over to the island? It's only two hours away by ferry，isn't it?
Julie：Yes，it was funny how on the ride over everyone stayed out on deck to enjoy the view，but on the way back，wejust sat inside like seasoned travellers and read magazines!

Robin：Oh，well，one of these days I'll get there myself. In the meantime，I better get back to work. Maybe we can get together sometime and you can tell me more about it.
Julie：Sure，and I'll show you my pictures once I get them developed.
Robin：Great. See you later.

A:亲爱的，我明白，我也是。可是我们一向忙得没时光去找房子。
B:We need to find a good realtor.
B:我们需要找个好的房地产经纪人。
A:Not necessary. If we use a realtor to find a house， it will be more expensive.
A:不需要。如果我们委托经纪人找房子，会比较贵。
B:What do you mean?
B:怎样说呢？
A:Realtors always get a mission. If the realtor helps us find something， we have to pay him.
A:房地产经纪人都要抽佣金的。如果经纪人帮我们找到房子，我们就要付他钱。
B:But doesn't a realtor help with the contract? I thought they take care of all the legal troubles.
B:可是经纪人也会帮忙处理合约的事啊？我想他们应当会留意法律的问题。
A:Yes， that's often true. But you have to pay them.

打电话的英语对话 9
首先肯定是问候语，简单举例说一下两个人打电话时的对话，
比如说A在接电话，B要找的人不在
A：Hello!Who is that?B:Hello!This is B .May I speak to ......?A:Sorry,he/she isn't here.Can I take a message for you?
B:That's very kind of you,please tell ......that ......再比如说B打电话给A，正好要找的人就是A
B:Hello!May I speak to AA:Speaking./This is A speaking.切记，在电话中切不可用日常生活中的那种问候方式，比如说：“Who are you?”或“I am ...”这样是很不礼貌的。

ASure. Thanks.

打电话的办公室英文对话 11
1. ABC corporation. May I help you? ABC 公司，我能帮你什么吗？
这句话算是制式的讲法。 一般接起电话的人通常会先报公司的名字 "ABC corporation", 然后再说：May I help you?或是如果要更客气一点的话则可以说 ：How can I help you?(我该怎么帮你？)
因为这样的问法表示我该怎么帮你，而非我需不需要帮你？但基本上 May I help you? 跟 How can I help you?都很常见就是了。
不过如果是机器接的电话，则听到的多半是这样：
Thanks for calling ABC corporation, if you know your party’s last name or extension, press 1. If you want to receive information or publication, press 2. If you want to talk to the operator, press pound sign or remain on the line."
感谢你打电话到 ABC 来， 如果你知道你要找的人的姓或是分机号码， 请按 1;如果是想要本公司的简介或出版品，，请按 2;如果是要找总机， 请按 #，或是请别挂断。
2. And you are? 你是？
如果人家打电话来是要找你的上司：May I talk to your manager?(我能不能跟你们经理讲话？)
这时你总不能糊里糊涂地就把电话拿给经理说，说不定人家是打电话来跟你经理勒索一百万的呢！ 所以通常我们一定要先确定打电话来的是谁。
最客气的问法是： Whom I am speaking with? 或是 Whom am I talking to?(我正在跟谁讲话呢？)
但是人家一听是像我这种小毛头打电话找他们经理，他们就会用比较口语的说法：And you are?(你是？)
如果人家这样问我，我就可以答：This is Benlin.
像是 "And you are?" 这么口语的英文书上大概学不到，但这却是老美天天在用的句子， 只怕你学了之后还不敢用。其实真的不用怕，越简单的句子老美越听得懂， 而且事实上 And you are? 这句话还有许多适用的场合， 例如在公司的接待处 (reception)来访的客人如果说：I’m looking for Mr. Wolf. (我要找伍夫先生) 接待小姐就可以反问他：And you are?(你是？) 所以像这种简单又好用的句子大家一定要记起来喔！
3. I’ll put her on the phone. Just a second. 我会请她听电话， 请等一下。
Put someone on the phone 这个片语就是说请某人听电话。例如你打电话找你女朋友，结果女朋友的同事接了电话，就开始跟你东扯西扯，问你们昨天是不是吵架了啊？什么时候要结婚啦， 这时如果你实在不想跟她讲了，就可以说：Could you please just put her on the phone? (你能不能请她来听电话啊？)反过来如果今天是你接到了电话，结果要找的是别人，你就可以说：Ok. I’ll put her on the phone. Just a second.(好，我会请她听电话，请稍等一下。)
上面讲的 put someone on the phone, 指的多半是只有一只电话时，但如果像公司里有许多分机， 则用转接 transfer 或是 redirect 会比较恰当， 例如同样的情况你可以说： I’m transferring your call.或是 I’m redirecting your call. (我帮你转接到分机给她。) 如果是接线生转接的话，他们有时就只简单地说：One moment, please.或是OK. I’ll put you through.
4. Would you mind holding for one minute? 你介不介意稍微等一分钟啊？
在美国如果有机会打电话给客户服务 (Customer Service)部门，如果没意外的话都会听到以下的电话录音：
All of our representatives are currently busy serving their customers. Your call will be answered in approximate 5 minutes.
我们所有的客服人员都在忙着服务他们的顾客，请等五分钟后，就会有人接听你的电话。
然后十分钟过去了，
Please continue to hold, your call is very important to us.
请继续等候，你的来电对我们非常重要。
所以大家要知道，老美基本上对这种无止境的等待是深恶痛绝的。 所以要记得， 如果人家打电话来，千万不要因为听不懂就说， "Hold on", 然后就跑去求救兵，这对打电话来的人是十分不礼貌的。
如果万不得已一定要请他稍候，我们要客气一点地说： Would you mind holding for one minute?
所以记得要给对方一个明确的时间， 例如 one second 或是 five minutes 不要让对方无止境地等下去。 但是如果一分钟到了你还没忙完， 则最好再说一次：
Sorry, I am still on the phone. Could you hold for another minute?
对不起，我还在讲电话， 能不能再请你稍候一分钟。
5. He’s out for lunch. Would you like to try again an hour later? 他出去吃午餐了， 你要不要一小时后再打来？
受到中文的影响，许多人要讲某人出去吃午餐了常会说成：He went out for lunch.
其实这个 went 是多余的，通常老美只讲 be out for something 就行了。
如果要再简化一点， 单说：He is on lunch.或是 He is on (lunch) break. (他正在休息时间。) 这样子也可以。
如果别人要找的人不在，通常我们有二种选择：第一种是请别人晚点再打来，除了像例句用 try again/ call again 之外， 我们也可以用 call back/ try back 这样的讲法。例如你可以建议别人：
Why don’t you call back in 30 minutes?
你何不 30 分钟后再打来呢？
第二种选择就是请对方留言， 客气一点的讲法是：
May I take your message?或是 "Would you like to leave a message?
你想留言吗？
