This is the first in a two-part Business English Pod lesson on dealing with telephone inquiries.
這是2節(jié)商務(wù)播客中的第1節(jié),將涉及電話上處理客戶的問(wèn)題。
It’s natural to feel a little nervous when answering questions on the phone, especially when you’re using a different language. You can’t see the other person, so you can’t interpret facial expressions and body language. You also need to listen more carefully, so you can help the caller quickly and efficiently.
接電話回答問(wèn)題有些緊張是很正常的。尤其是當(dāng)你使用另種不同的語(yǔ)言時(shí)。你看不見(jiàn)對(duì)方,所以你無(wú)法明白對(duì)方的面部表情和體態(tài)語(yǔ)。你需要更加自信地傾聽(tīng),以便來(lái)快速而有效地幫助打電話的人。
Today, we’ll look at some common strategies that can make handling telephone inquiries a little easier. We’ll start with ways to answer the phone and identify yourself. We’ll also explain language you can use to verify a caller’s name, confirm something a caller says, and clarify the inquiry by restating it.
