作为职场中的一员，我们免不了要外出办公。为了使自己的工作更有效率，我们就需要提前和对方确定好相关事宜，这时，电话就发挥了相当重要的作用。通过电话还可以用它来解决当面不好说的许多问题呢！本期，我们就来学习一下如何用电话预约和解决问题。
OFFICE ASSISTANT: Good morning. Odyssey Promotions. How may I help you?
办公室文员： 早上好。这里是奥德赛企划公司。我能为您提供什么帮助吗？
NICK: Hello, this is Nick Delwin from Communicon. Could I speak to Helen Turner, please?
尼克： 你好，我是国际通讯公司的尼克·戴尔文。可以帮我转接海伦·特纳吗？
OFFICE ASSISTANT: Just a moment, please.
办公室文员： 请稍等。
OFFICE ASSISTANT: I have Nick Delwin on the line for you.
办公室文员： 有个叫尼克·戴尔文的人打来电话要找你。
HELEN: Thank you… Hi, Nick. Nice to hear from you. How's the English weather?
海伦： 谢谢……你好，尼克。很高兴接到你的电话。英国那边的天气怎么样？
NICK: It's pretty good for the time of year. What's it like in New York?
尼克： 就今年这个时候来讲，还是相当不错的。纽约那边的天气呢？
HELEN: Not good, I'm afraid.
海伦： 恐怕不怎么样。
NICK: That's a pity because I'm planning to ①#e across next week.
尼克： 那真糟糕，因为我正打算下礼拜过去一趟。
HELEN: Really? Well, you'll ②#e by to see us while you're here, I hope?
海伦： 真的吗？嗯，我希望你来的时候能顺便过来看看我们，可以吗？
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 ③meet up either before or after.
尼克： 这正是我打电话想要告诉你的事情。下礼拜二，我要在波士顿会见一个客户。我希望，在那之前或之后我们能找个时间见一下。
HELEN: Great. That would give us a chance to show you the convention centre, and we could also ④drop in at Caesar's Restaurant where Gregg has arranged your reception.
海伦： 太好了。那样我们就有机会带领你参观一下会议中心了，而且我们还可以顺便去凯萨饭店，葛雷格已经在那里为你安排好了接待活动。
NICK: That's what I was thinking.
尼克： 我也是这么想的。
HELEN: So you said you have to be in Boston on Tuesday? That's the 8th?
海伦： 嗯，你说你要在礼拜二的时候到波士顿？那是8号吧？
NICK: That's right. Now, I could ⑤stop over in New York either on the way in - that would be the Monday…Would that be possible?
尼克： 没错。那样的话，我也可以在去之前先去纽约一趟——可能是礼拜一的时候——那没问题吧？
HELEN: Ah, I'm afraid I won't be in the office on Monday, and I think Gregg has meetings all day.
海伦： 啊，恐怕礼拜一的时候我不在办公室，而且我想葛雷格全天都在开会。
NICK: Uh-huh, well, the other possibility would be to arrange it after Boston on my way home.
尼克： 嗯嗯，好吧，那另一个可能就是在我从波士顿回来的时候再安排见一下了。
HELEN: When do you plan on leaving Boston?
海伦： 你打算什么时候离开波士顿？ NICK: Could be either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning, but I would like to catch a flight back to London on Wednesday evening.
尼克： 可能是礼拜二下午，也可能是礼拜三上午，但我想赶在礼拜三晚上搭乘航班返回伦敦。
HELEN: OK. Well, it would be best for us if you could fly in on the Wednesday morning. Either Gregg or I will pick you up at the airport, and then we could show you the convention centre and also Caesar's. If there's time, you could #e back to the office and we'll run through any of the details that still haven't been finalized.
海伦： 好。嗯，如果你能在礼拜三上午飞过来的话，那对我们来说最好不过了。葛雷格或者我可以去机场接你，之后，我们可以带你去参观会议中心和凯萨饭店。如果有时间的话，你可以再去一下我们的办公室，我们可以迅速处理一些还没有解决的细节问题。
NICK: That sounds good. Just as long as I can get back to the airport for my evening flight.
尼克： 听起来不错。只要我能赶回机场搭上我的夜班飞机就行。
HELEN: No problem. Look, why don't you fax me your information once you've confirmed your flight times? Then we'll get back to you with an itinerary for the day - that's Wednesday the 9th, right?
海伦： 没问题。嗯，一旦你确定了你的航班日期，发个传真告诉我具体情况如何？那样我们就可以给你回复当天的日程安排——那天是9号礼拜三，对吧？ NICK: That's right. Good, well, I'll do that and I look forward to seeing you next week.
尼克： 没错。好，嗯，我会的，我期待着下礼拜和你们见面。
HELEN: Same here. See you next week.
海伦： 我也是。下礼拜见。
NICK: Right. Goodbye.
尼克： 好。再见。
HELEN: Bye-bye.
海伦： 再见。
