接电话不再慌:职场电话英语必备话术
对很多人来说,用英文写邮件还好,但要接一个突如其来的英文电话,心跳立刻加速。电话的难点在于:没有表情和肢体语言辅助,没时间推敲措辞,需要即时反应。但只要提前准备一套话术,这种焦虑可以大幅降低。
接电话:开场白三件套
接起电话,你需要同时完成三件事:表明身份 + 问候 + 提供帮助。
"Good morning, [Company Name], this is [Your Name] speaking. How can I help you?"
早上好,XX公司,我是XX。有什么可以帮您的?
如果是你自己的分机或直拨电话,可以简化:
Hello, this is Xiaoming.
你好,我是小明。
转接电话 —— 最常用的场景之一
对方要找的人不是你。你需要判断:这个人能接吗?在座位上吗?
"Let me transfer you to her. Please hold on."
我帮您转给她。请稍等。
"She's not at her desk right now. Can I take a message?"
她现在不在座位上。需要我帮您留言吗?
"He's in a meeting until 3. I can have him call you back."
他在开会,三点结束。我可以让他给您回电。
请对方稍等
如果转接过程需要时间,或者你需要查信息,一定要让对方知道你在干什么。安静超过 10 秒就会让对方不安。
Just a moment, let me look that up for you.
稍等,我帮您查一下。
Bear with me for a second while I pull up your account.
稍等,我调一下您的账户信息。
对方打错了
别说 "You called the wrong number"——太生硬。更得体的说法:
I'm afraid you've reached the wrong department. Let me transfer you to the right number.
恐怕您打到错的部门了。我帮您转到正确的号码。
结束通话
挂断前,用一句收尾确认所有事情都处理完了:
Is there anything else I can help you with?
还有什么我可以帮您的吗?
Thanks for calling. Have a great day!
感谢来电,祝您愉快!

你:Of course. Let me see if she's available. Bear with me for a second... (转接) She's not picking up. Would you like to leave a message?
对方:Yes, please. Can you ask her to call me back? My name is David, and my number is 555-0123.
你:Got it. I'll make sure she gets the message. Is there anything else I can help you with?
对方:No, that's all. Thanks!
你:Thanks for calling, David. Have a great day!
最重要的心理技巧
