上面讲的 put someone on the phone, 指的多半是只有一部电话, 如果像公司里有许多分机, 则用‘转接’ transfer 或是 redirect. 会比较恰当. 例如同样的情况你可以说, "I'm transferring your call." 或是 "I'm redirecting your call." (我帮你转接到分机给他.) 如果是接线生转接的话, 他们有时就只简单地说, "One moment, please." 或是, "OK. I'll put you through."

He is not here but you can call his machine. ( 他不在这里啊, 但是你可以打他的电话答录机嘛 ) (美国佬管电话答录机叫 answering machine 或answer machine. 但是在一般的对话中常常简称 machine.)(例如 "I want to check on my machine." 则是说我要检查电话答录机里的留言.记得喔! 通常人家讲 someone's machine 时百分之九十五都是指电话答录机而言, 你可别傻傻地问人, "Answering machine?")

I'm interested in your CRM software. Can you give me an quote? (我对你们的客户关系管理软件感兴趣呀, 能跟我报个价吗?)(Can you give me a quote? 或Can you give me an estimate?"都是报价之意.但是提醒大家, 这个 quote 发 /kwot/ 的音, 记得要特别强调那个 /wo/ 的音, 不然老美会以为你在说 coat /kot/ 或是 court /kort/ 这个字,那就会发生误会了.如果你是一个大舌头,发音不准,建议最好用 estimate, 这个字是绝对不会发错的,嘿嘿)(注意: estimate 和 quote 也可以指‘报价单’而言, 例如你可以要求别人: "Can you send me a sample with an estimate ASAP?" (能不能请你尽快送一份样品和报价单给我?,不要搞错了哦)

I'd like to place an order for a DL-2006 color printer. (我想下一份 DL-2006 彩色打印机的订单.) (有些同事打电话, 直接说, "I want to buy this, I want to buy that.汗啊, 当然啦! 你要买东西,你是客户,你说出的话人家不明白的用意也会问懂的!你直接说 buy 听来比较像是日常生活在说的对话. 如果像是公司要采购商品时, 最好正式一点用 order, 或是更完整一些说 place an order for, 例如 "I want to order a color printer." 或是, "I want to place an order for a color printer." 都是不错的用法)

I'm calling to check my order status. (我打电话来查看我订单的状况)(这样很简单地就表达了你要表达的问题.有些同事不这样用,常拉拉杂杂讲了一堆,如:I ordered something yesterday. Can you check if you've shipped it or not.....是不是听起来蛮笨的? 老美从来不这么婆婆妈妈讲话,你看 "I want to check my order status." 或是 "I want to track my order status." 就能完整地表达这句话的意思, 是不是太神奇了?呵呵)

(注意, 介绍在这里用 refer 而不是用 introduce.) 还有呢? 如果你今天拿到了该公司的折价卷, 则最好也是开宗明义地说, "I got your number from a coupon, which says your product is 50% off today." <我是根据你们折价卷上的号码打过来, 它上面写着今天产品五折优待.> 这样子让他想赖都赖不掉啊. 总之呢? 先表明自己是怎么搭上这条线的, 这样子别人才不会有突兀的感觉啦,呵呵)
