作為職場中的一員，我們免不了要外出辦公。為了使自己的工作更有效率，我們就需要提前和對方確定好相關(guān)事宜，這時，電話就發(fā)揮了相當重要的作用。而善于使用電話的人，不僅能通過電話把事情辦得圓滿，還可以用它來解決當面不好說的許多問題呢！下面，我們就來學習一下如何用電話預(yù)約和解決問題。
OFFICE ASSISTANT: Good morning. Odyssey Promotions. How may I help you?
辦公室文員: 早上好。這里是奧德賽企劃公司。我能為您提供什么幫助嗎？
NICK: Hello, this is Nick Delwin from Communicon. Could I speak to Helen Turner, please?
尼克: 你好，我是國際通訊公司的尼克·戴爾文。可以幫我轉(zhuǎn)接海倫·特納嗎？
OFFICE ASSISTANT: Just a moment, please.
辦公室文員: 請稍等。
OFFICE ASSISTANT: I have Nick Delwin on the line for you.
辦公室文員: 有個叫尼克·戴爾文的人打來電話要找你。
HELEN: Thank you... Hi, Nick. Nice to hear from you. How’s the English weather?
海倫: 謝謝……你好，尼克。很高興接到你的電話。英國那邊的天氣怎么樣？
NICK: It’s pretty good for the time of year. What’s it like in New York?
尼克: 就今年這個時候來講，還是相當不錯的。紐約那邊的天氣呢？
HELEN: Not good, I’m afraid.
海倫: 恐怕不怎么樣。
NICK: That’s a pity because I’m planning to come across next week.
尼克: 那真糟糕，因為我正打算下禮拜過去一趟。
HELEN: Really? Well, you’ll come by to see us while you’re here, I hope?
海倫: 真的嗎？嗯，我希望你來的時候能順便過來看看我們，可以嗎？
NICK: That’s what I’m phoning about. I’ve got a meeting with a customer in Boston on Tuesday of next week. I was hoping we could arrange to meet up either before or after.
尼克: 這正是我打電話想要告訴你的事情。下禮拜二，我要在波士頓會見一個客戶。我希望，在那之前或之后我們能找個時間見一下。
HELEN: Great. That would give us a chance to show you the convention centre, and we could also drop in at Caesar’s Restaurant where Gregg has arranged your reception.
海倫: 太好了。那樣我們就有機會帶領(lǐng)你參觀一下會議中心了，而且我們還可以順便去凱薩飯店，葛雷格已經(jīng)在那里為你安排好了接待活動。
NICK: That’s what I was thinking.
尼克: 我也是這么想的。
HELEN: So you said you have to be in Boston on Tuesday? That’s the 8th?
海倫: 嗯，你說你要在禮拜二的時候到波士頓？那是8號吧？
NICK: That’s right. Now, I could stop over in New York either on the way in - that would be the Monday...Would that be possible?
尼克: 沒錯。那樣的話，我也可以在去之前先去紐約一趟——可能是禮拜一的時候——那沒問題吧？
HELEN: Ah, I’m afraid I won’t be in the office on Monday, and I think Gregg has meetings all day.
海倫: 啊，恐怕禮拜一的時候我不在辦公室，而且我想葛雷格全天都在開會。
NICK: Uh-huh, well, the other possibility would be to arrange it after Boston on my way home.
尼克: 嗯嗯，好吧，那另一個可能就是在我從波士頓回來的時候再安排見一下了。
HELEN: When do you plan on leaving Boston?
海倫: 你打算什么時候離開波士頓？
