5.当接到对方打错的电话时,应说“Sorry,wrong number./Sorry,nobody here by that number./I'm sorry,but you must have the wrong./Sorry,I think you have the wrong number.(对不起,你打错了。 )”。
6.当电话要找的人不在时,可以说一句“Sorry,...isn't here right now.(抱歉,……目前不在这里。)”。
7.让对方等待需找的人时,可以说“Hold on,please./Just a moment,please./Hold on the line,please.(请稍后。 )”。
8.想要为对方转述电话时,可以说“Can I leave her a message for you?/Can I take a message?/Would you like me to relay a message for you?(我可以为你捎个口信吗? )”。
