純正地道美語第317期(外教講解):設置語音信箱
A: Can you help me set up my voicemail message? I just got this service and I am not really sure what I am supposed to say.
B: Sure! You just basically gotta let the caller know who they called, and ask them for their contact information so you can call them back.
當然可以！基本上你需要讓別人知道來電者你是誰，讓他們留下聯繫方式，這樣的話你能給他們打回去。A: Ok, so can I say, "This is Abby's voicemail. I will call you later, so leave me your name and number".
好的，所以我可以這樣說嗎？“這裏是艾比的語音信箱。請留下你的姓名和電話號碼，我會給你打過去的。
B: That's more or less the idea, but try something that sounds more friendly.
這個還湊活，但是再想想如何表達得更友好一些。A: Ok, so how about this, "This is Abby and I am really happy you called! I promise I will give you a ring as soon as I can,so please leave me your name and number. Talk to you soon!".
好的，這樣如何：我是艾比，很高興你能打來電話！我會盡快給您回電，請務必告訴我您的姓名和聯繫方式。一會兒聯繫你！”B: A little too friendly Abby. Just say this, "Hi, you have reached Abby. I am unable to answer your call right now, but if you leave me your name and phone number, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks".
這又有點見外了，艾比。就這麼說：“你好，我是艾比，現在不能立即接到你的來電，請留下你的姓名和電話號碼，我會盡快給你回電的。謝謝。”A: That's perfect! Can you say that again and record it for me?
那很好！你能再說一遍嗎？我想把它錄下來。
