   In this Business English Podcast, we'll be looking at the language used to make appointments on the telephone. 在本期的商务英语播客中,我们将要学习电话预约所使用的语言。

  We live in the era of remote communication: teleconferencing, videoconferencing, and online meetings. More and more group efforts are getting done from a distance. In theory, at least, it's possible to work closely with anyone in the world without leaving our desks. Nevertheless, there's something about a face-to-face meeting that no virtual one can replace. We still need to shake people's hands, read their body language, and make personal connections. That's why—even today—one of the commonest uses for the telephone is to make appointments. In this episode, we'll take a close look at making appointments on the phone. 我们生活在一个远程通讯的时代,电话会议、视频会议和网上会议被广泛采用。远距离的团体协作越来越普及。理论上来讲,足不出户而紧密协作是可行的。但是当面会谈也有其不可替代的一面。我们仍需要与对方亲身接触。因此,直到今天,电话仍有一个重要的用途,即约定免谈。在本集中,我们将进一步学习怎样进行电话预约。
