一對一英語口語培訓(xùn):預(yù)約會面
商務(wù)交往中,很多人誤以為安排會面只是秘書的工作,其實(shí)不然。每個(gè)職場人都有可能會遇到安排會面的情況。有時(shí)候,情況還可能很復(fù)雜,更改會面的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn),甚至取消會面都有可能發(fā)生。
1.安排會面必備第一句:我能和您約個(gè)時(shí)間見面嗎?
經(jīng)典表達(dá):
May I have an appointment with you?
我能和您約個(gè)時(shí)間見面嗎?
Will you be available this afternoon?
2.安排會面必備第二句:您能給我安排一下和XXX會面的時(shí)間嗎?
經(jīng)典表達(dá):
Could you arrange a meeting with your boss?
您能給我安排個(gè)時(shí)間和您老板見面嗎?
I would like to make an appointment with XXX. Can you fit me in on his/her schedule?
3.安排會面必備第三句:確定時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)
經(jīng)典表達(dá):
How about ten o’clock on Thursday morning at your office?
周四早上十點(diǎn)在您辦公室可以嗎?
Would Friday morning be convenient for you?
Could we make it at four o’clock on Tuesday afternoon?
4.更改會面必備:能把會面時(shí)間推遲到明天嗎?
經(jīng)典表達(dá):
Could we postpone our talk to the following day, at the same hour and the same place?
我們能把約會時(shí)間推遲到原定時(shí)間后一天,時(shí)間地點(diǎn)不變,可以嗎?
We can make it some other time.I would like to postpone the meeting until Monday afternoon, would that be convenient for you?
5.取消會面必備:抱歉,恐怕我要取消我們的約會了。
I must make apologies. I’m afraid I have to cancel our appointment.
抱歉,恐怕我要取消我們的約會了。
I have something urgent tomorrow, so the appointment will have to be cancelled.
I’ll have to take a rain check. Maybe another time?
注:take a rain check是一個(gè)習(xí)語。Rain check原指棒球等露天球賽因下雨改期再賽時(shí),下次入場還可使用的原票根,引申為“雙方無法約定日期,改期再約”。
