一， 生活應用篇

要找的人不在

a: hello, this is carol. may i speak to miss chen?
b: yes, one moment please. i'll get her for you.
a: thank you.
b: i'm sorry, she's not at her room right now.
a: oh, i'll call her again.

翻譯
a: 喂，我是卡羅，可以請陳小姐聽電話嗎？
b: 好，請等一下，我為你轉接。
a: 謝謝。
b: 對不起，她現在不在。
a: 那我在打給她。

自我介紹時，請注意：
1. "hello"等於是中文的「喂」，隨時隨地可用。
2. 打電話先行自我介紹是一種禮貌。電話中最常用" this is~"的形態而不是 "here is~"或"i am~",這是打電話需要注意的。
3. " may i speak to~" 也可以換成是 "can i speak to~" 請~聽電話。

最近周圍結婚生子的人突然陡增，不知道2003年為什麼會有這麼多的人選擇婚姻，也許是因為幸福的感覺是可以傳染的吧~~~好吧，先介紹幾句恭喜的話：

4. may you have a wonderful new life together.

翻譯：

1. 祝你們佳偶天成。
2. 我聽說你們要結婚了，恭喜阿！
3. 祝福新郎和新娘。
4. 祝新婚快樂。

還有，要是聽到友人生小孩了，你可以說：

讓人值得恭喜的事情，當然不只結婚生子了，還有~~~

1. congratulations on your graduation. 學成畢業之喜。
2. congratulations on your promotion. 恭喜你陞官。

外國人喜歡在節日、逢年過節時，於親朋好友間寫卡片或打電話道賀，表達心意。（中國人也應該學習一下，尤其是對你的外國朋友和外國客戶，要特別注意哦！）

當然了好事也可能發生在咱們自己身上，當接到恭賀電話時，你可以說：

1. thank you for saying so.謝謝你這麼說。
2. thank you but i have a lot to learn yet.謝謝你，但我還有很多要學習的地方。

接受別人的禮物或招待后，打電話道謝為最起碼的禮貌之一。
