职场礼节美语-电话留言(mp3+文本)  

陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作了几个月，从美籍华人Mary那里学到很多西方礼节。今天Mary有件重要的事要告诉陈豪，现在正在给他打电话。
(Office ambience
telephone rings....)
(CH's Voice mail): "This is Chen Hao. Leave a message."
M：(After the beep). Hi Chen Hao. This is Mary. Please call me back when you have a minute.
M：(CH passing by Mary's cubicle) Hey
Chen Hao. 来，来，来。 I'm looking for you. I just left a telephone message for you。
C：找我？ 有事吗？
M：有事。But let me tell you first that your telephone greeting sounds too abrupt。
C：不够客气？What's wrong with:"I'm Chen Hao. Leave a message". 我觉得干脆利落，no nonsense.
M：You know that other people will judge you by the greetings you recorded.
C：那你说该怎么说才有礼貌呀？
M：You should have offered a wele like "Hello" first.
C：噢，这不是很简单吗，加一个词就行了。对，这样听起来是比较客气。
M：你在录音里把自己的姓和名都说了，这很好。But you should have said
"Please leave a message." Saying "please" is a simple but necessary courtesy.
C：OK
Mary
but I got to go
my boss is waiting for me...
M：Hey Chen Hao
I have something to tell you...
C：Hi Mary. Sorry I was in a hurry this morning. You have something to tell me?
M：I have good news. I am leaving ABC pany and will start working next week for D&E Company in Beijing as the head of the Human Resources Department.
C：Oh
congratulations! But... it's bad for ME. 我要有问题问谁呀，能打电话给你吗？
M：Sure. 不过，到了D&E我会经常出差的。
C：那我怎么知道你出差了，什么时候才能跟你通话呀？
M：I will record a greeting that says I am away from the office
when I will return and who you can contact if you can't wait for my return.陈豪，你出差的时候也应该这样做。
C：是啊，有的客户是有意见，说给我打了电话好几天都没有回音。看来，我得先把平时的greeting改成：“Hello
I'm Chen Hao. Please leave a message."
M：That's good! When you're away from office for a few days
re-record the greeting to tell
callers that you are away
when you will return and who they should contact in case they need immediate attention.
C：Oh Mary
I am so happy for you
but I will miss you.
M：Don't worry. We still can have lunch together!
