新東方雅思知心課程

1.慣用雅思口語(yǔ)句子：

= Can/Could I take a message?
我能替您捎個(gè)口信嗎？
message n. 消息，口信，訊息

utmost n. 極限，最大可能

“the moment”相當(dāng)于“when”，意為“當(dāng)…時(shí)”。

2.實(shí)用對(duì)話

Leaving a Message電話留言
?
Frank:? This is Frank speaking. May I ask who is calling?
弗蘭克：我是弗蘭克。請(qǐng)問(wèn)您是哪位？
Jane:? This is Jane. I would like to speak with Mr. Wang, please.
簡(jiǎn)：我是簡(jiǎn)，我想和王先生通話。

Jane:? When do you expect him back?
簡(jiǎn)：你估計(jì)他什么時(shí)候能回來(lái)？

the moment he's free.
弗蘭克：說(shuō)不準(zhǔn)。他沒(méi)說(shuō)什么時(shí)候回來(lái)。如果您愿意，可以給他留個(gè)口信，他一有空就給您打回去。
Jane: Yes, thank you. When he gets back, please let him know that Jane called and I need him to call me back.

3.詳細(xì)解說(shuō)
?
1.“International Business Center”意為“國(guó)際商務(wù)中心”。
2.“...he'll get back to you the moment he's free.”意為“…他一有空就給您打回去?！边@里有兩個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)要講，其中，“get back to
sb.”表示“稍后再跟某人講話或稍后再給某人打電話”。例如：I'll find out the prices and get back to you.（我把價(jià)錢弄清楚后給你
回電話。）I'll get back to you later with those figures.（我一會(huì)兒弄到那些數(shù)字再跟你說(shuō)。）另外，“the moment”在這里作連詞，
也可寫(xiě)作“the moment that”相當(dāng)于“as soon as”，表示“一…就…”，例如：He said he'd phone you the moment he got home.（他說(shuō)他一到家就給你打電話。）I want to see her the moment she arrives.（她一到我就想見(jiàn)到她。）

4.文化洗禮
?
美國(guó)人的幽默電話留言
?
美國(guó)家庭的住宅電話一般都有留言功能。如果電話在響了一段時(shí)間后沒(méi)人接，電話機(jī)就會(huì)自動(dòng)播送一段提示，內(nèi)容通常是：“抱歉，我現(xiàn)在不在家，請(qǐng)您聽(tīng)到‘嘟’的一聲之后留言?！庇捎谶@樣的留言提示過(guò)于平淡，許多美國(guó)人都使用自己編寫(xiě)的個(gè)性化留言。下面是一些精彩的留言，我們從中可以看到美國(guó)人幽默的一面。
1."Hi. I am probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."
（嗨，我可能在家里，我只是不想跟我討厭的人通話。請(qǐng)留言吧。如果我沒(méi)有給你回電話，那么你就是我討厭的那個(gè)人。）
2. "Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right, everything you say will
be recorded and will be used by us."
（請(qǐng)你留言。當(dāng)然，你有權(quán)保持沉默。如果你放棄這個(gè)權(quán)利，那么你所說(shuō)的每句話都將被記錄下來(lái)，并且將被我們所利用。）
3. "Thank you for calling us. If you wish to speak to David. push 1, to Jane, push 2, to Alex. push 3, to Dog, push 4. All of
this button pushing doesn't do anything, but it makes you feel like we have a big phone system."
（謝謝你給我們打電話。如果你想找大衛(wèi)，請(qǐng)按1．找簡(jiǎn)，請(qǐng)按2，找亞歷克斯，請(qǐng)按3．找小狗，請(qǐng)按4。其實(shí)不管你按哪個(gè)鍵，結(jié)果都一樣，但這會(huì)讓你覺(jué)得我們家里好像有個(gè)很強(qiáng)大的電話交換系統(tǒng)。)
