第一部分 课前导入
本课将学习如何用英语打电话,尤其是在接通电话后互相介绍对方时的不同表达法.This is…\That is … speaking. 以及打电话时的一些礼貌用语.
A: Good morning, Jack.
B: Good morning, Diana.
A: So last time we learned how to borrow things from others. We'd better use "May I use …" in order to show our politeness to them.我们要向别人借东西,应该礼貌地说"May I use…".
B: So it seems that tactful expression is very important in English.所以在英语中委婉礼貌用语非常重要.
A: You are right. Especially in telephone. Chinese people have different speaking way from that of English-spoken people. So we must pay more attention to our words .特别是在电话用语中,英语国家的人和我们中国人的表达方法是不一样的,所以我们要特别注意自己的语言.本节课我们就一起来学习它们之间的区别.
第二部分 课文讲解
A: Once the telephone has been get through, we should say hello to them. Then there should be a tactful expression "May I speak to …"电话接通了,我们首先应该向对方打招呼,Hello!然后怎么说呢 我们要用礼貌的语气向对方询问你要找的人."May I speak to …"
B: I see. That is similar with Chinese.咱们中国人也有这样的说法啊.
A:Yea. Then next if you want to introduce youself and ask for others, you can't say " I'm…"or "You are…"Instead, you can say "This is … speaking" or "That is…"比如,我要给Jack打电话,我应该说,"This is Diana speaking.而不能说" I'm Diana".同样我询问对方是不是Jack, 要问 "Is that Jack "而不能说 "Are you Jack "
B: So I can say 'This is B speaking' and 'May I speak to … '
A: Yes, you're so clever.
