（单词翻译:单击）

A: Robin¹, I was² wondering⁴ if there are any right or wrong ways to make a phone call? I have been learning⁶ English for a long time and still can't make a correct⁷ phone call!

　　我想知道打电话时有没有什么方法，我学英语很久了，可还是不能正确的打电话

　　D: WellThe most important⁸ is to always introduce⁹ yourself¹⁰ politely¹². A common¹³ mistake¹⁴ that many Chinese people make is to say: "I am *****" when in fact¹⁵ you should say " This is *****".

　　重要的是别忘了礼貌的介绍自己。中国人常犯的错误就是他们总说I am……实际上我们说this is……

　　A: Oh, I will have to remember that!

　　噢。我得记住这个

　　D: Another thing that might¹⁶ interest¹⁷ you is, you should never say " I want to talk to *****" or " who am I talking to", these are both considered¹⁸ rude¹⁹. A better way is to say " Could²⁰ I please speak to*****" or " "May I ask whose speaking?"

　　另外还有。记住，不要说，我想同。。。说话，或是谁在说话，好一点的说法是，我可以同，，，说话吗？或请问您是谁啊？.

　　A: You're right, That does sound so much more polite¹¹!

　　对，这样听起来礼貌多了

　　D: Another thing to remember is that there are different ways of conducting²¹ phone calls depending²² on who you are talking to, i.e⁵. If you are talking to someone²³ about business²⁴ or work it is always best to be as³ formal²⁵ as possible²⁶. When you talk to friends however²⁷, you can be very informal²⁸…

　　另外还有要注意你在和谁通话。谈工作时要正式一些。和朋友打电话时要随意一些

　　A: What do you mean by informal?

　　怎么叫随意？

　　D: I mean, instead²⁹ of answering the phone "hello, this is ***** speaking" You can say things like "what's up, who's this?" and " hey what's going³⁰ on?". .

　　我是说接电话时不用说你好，我是****。你可以说哪位？和嘿，有什么事？

　　这样啊

　　D: There are some more "rules" that I can give if you are interested³¹?

　　还有呢

　　A: Sure!

　　什么？

　　D: It is a good idea to ask someone if they are busy before you start having a long conversation³². In my opinion³³ it is a good idea to keep phone calls as brief³⁴ as possible…

　　长谈之前要问对方忙不忙。不过我觉得电话还是短一些好。

　　A: (chuckles) Why make your calls short?

　　{笑声}我知道了，可为什么要短一些呢？

　　D: Well for one thing it keeps you're phone bills³⁵ low³⁶ (laughs) and another is many people are busy, and don't have time to chat³⁷ away for a long time..

　　首先这样可以省话费。另外人们都很忙，没时间聊很久

　　A：I think you are right…Speaking of which, I need to go myself³⁸, a movie I want to see is coming on TV…I'll talk to you later³⁹.

　　我想你说得对，说起忙，我得走了，电视上有我喜欢的片子。再聊吧

　　D: OK, talk to you later.

　　好，再见

　　Attention⁴⁰ Please…特别提醒…

　　{1}this is……是我们经常犯的错误，受汉语的影响，我们打电话时总说I am….我是….,我们的办法就是养成习惯.

　　{2}Could I speak to…我可以喝***讲话吗？和May I ask who is speaking?我可以问一下您是哪位吗？这是很礼貌的说法。可千万别说成who am I talking to ?或是I want to talk to……这是很不礼貌的说法{3}和朋友聊天的时侯，就没必要搞得那么正式了，通常的说法是what's up,buddy?或what's going on?最近怎么样？
