办公室电话英语
Answering the Call接听电话
在公司接听电话时，一般要先报上自己的姓名与公司名称，比如：
This is Rita Chang of ABC Trading Company.
这里是ABC公司的天瑞塔·常。
或者也可以说：
ABC Trading Company.Can I help you？
ABC贸易公司，我能为你做些什么吗？
如果接听的是分机，要报上自己部门的名称，比如：
ABC Trading Company，Overseas Sales Department.Can I help you？
ABC贸易公司海外销售部。我能为你做些什么吗？
打电话一方听到这样的话后，要告诉对方自己想找的人：
Id like to speak to Mr.Brown，please.
麻烦一下，我想和Brown先生讲话。
或者告诉对方自己要转的分机号：
Could I have extension 321，please？
请转接分机321。
如果想转接某个部门，而非具体某个人时，可以说：
Id like to speak to someone in the Personnel Department.
我想和人事部的人讲话。
如果接听者即是打电话者要找的人，可以简单地回答：
Speaking.
我就是，请讲。
