美國人打電話常用語

剛來美國最怕接電話了，每次接到電話都不知道對方在講什么。有時用錄音機錄下來， 結(jié)果聽到第七八遍才完全了解對方在說什么。提供一點電話英語給大家參考，這些也是美國人講電話時最常用到的一些句子：
     附記: 老美曾糾正過我, 不要只說, No, I don’t know. 這樣聽來是不禮貌的, 是說, No, I am sorry, I don’t know.
     別人的問題 自己的回答
     打電話進來:
     Is Yang there? (最常用)
     Is Yang around? (次常用)
     Hello, May I speak to Yang please?
     Hello, Can I talk to Yang please?
     如果正是本人:
     This is he. (男的)
     This is she.(女的)
     This is Kun-Lin ( 你的名字) speaking.
