Translation】

A:ABC公司,你好,我是Lucy,请问您有什么事?

B:Lucy,你好!我是Monica。我想询问一下贵公司的会计岗位。我在贵公司的主页上看到了职位招聘信息,请问这个信息现在还有效吗?

A:谢谢您的关心。目前我们还没有找到何时的人选。您给我们投简历了吗?

B:还没有。我想先确认一下这个职位现在是不是还空缺着,同时想多了解一下。

A:目前我们急需这方面的人才,我们也希望应聘者的有较好的英语水平,因为这个职位可能需要经常和出差国外,和外国人接触,如果这些条件您都符合,我建议您直接写一封信给我们,直接寄给我就可以了。

B:我目前的工作的通知时间不是很长,我本人英语水平也很不错,另外我擅长与不同国家的人打交道,喜欢出差国外。我现在对这份工作更加有兴趣了。我会在本周内给您发简历的。

Oral English】

Is it still available?

请问这个信息现在还有效吗?

available 有用的,有效的,如:Several cars are available within this price range.

在这个价格范围内,有好几种汽车可供选购。

Do you have a room available?

你们有空房间吗?

同义词:obtainable 可获得的;可取得的

如:Are his records still obtainable?

他的唱片还能买到吗?

区别:

错句: Details are available by calling this number.

订正: Details can be obtained by calling this number.

翻译: 通过拨打这个电话号码可以获得详情。

分析: 这里强调细节的“获得”,需通过拨打电话,而available只是客观表示细节的存在。

注意:近几年available比obtainable和procurable用得更为普遍。

Notes】

1. 如果你打电话给别人,对方一接电话,你就要报上自己的名字(identity yourself),说:"Hello, this is...speaking."不要等待对方追问你是谁。

2. 接别人打来的电话时,如果对方未报姓名,你可以礼貌地问:"Who's calling, please?"假如对方电话中要找的人是你的家人或室友,你也应该问这句话,先让接电话的人知道是谁打来的。万一你拨通了一个号码,却从对方接听时的口气,发觉你可能拨错电话时,千万不要反问人家:"What number is this?"而是要问你拨的号码对不对,例如:"Is this 715-0456?"如果对方告诉你拨错了,赶快说:"I'm sorry."然后把电话轻轻挂上。

3. 假如你接到别人拨错的电话,你可以说: "I think you have the wrong number. This is 715-0456."然后把电话轻轻挂上。不要摔电话!他拨错电话号码很可能是无心的。

4. 打电话应该要言不繁。讲完该讲的话时,通常由拨电话的先说:"Goodbye."对方可能加一句:"Thank you for your calling."然后双方挂上电话,记住要轻哦。

下面是两个打电话的实例:

例一:A: Hello. Is this 300-1234?B: No. I guess you have the wrong number.A: I am sorry.

例二:A: Hello. Can I speak to Mr. John Anderson, Please? This is Steve Lee.C: Hold on, please.D: John Anderson speaking.A: Hi, John. This is Steve. Did you get my note?D: Yes, I just got it. I'll think it over and call you back.A: Fine. See you later.D: Goodbye.

最后,来看看我们大家很少注意的细节吧。1. 除非你确知对方是"夜猫族",否则不要深夜跟他打电话。早晨太早打电话也是不礼貌的。一般说来,打电话最适当的时间是上午九点以后到晚上九点半以前。2. 电话响了六响(six rings)还没有人接,不是对方不在家,就是他不方便接,或甚至不愿意接,最好是把它挂断了。3. 最后,如果你打电话时预知这通电话不可能三言两语就结素,最好先问对方: "Is this a convenient time to talk?"(现在讲电话方便吗?)免得对方正有急务待理,或有客人在旁,又须听你长时间电话,造成尴尬场面。
