陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作。他今天在走廊里遇到了美国同事Amy。


(Office ambience)


A:Chen Hao, you look pleased about something. What is it?


C:我刚才发现电话上有个叫speaker的键,只要按下去,就不用再拿着话筒说话了。


A:It is called a speaker or speaker phone, 中文可能是叫免提功能。


C:这真是太方便了。我可以一边打电话,一边干别的事。


A:Speakerphone is a great convenience, but you need to be careful about when and how you use it.


C:不能随时用吗?


A:You need to consider whether the person to whom you are speaking is comfortable being placed on speaker phone.


C:这跟他们有什么关系啊?


A:Because it is like broadcasting your entire call to other people who might be listening.


C:Broadcast?我还是不太明白。


A:When you place someone on speaker, anyone passing by or in close proximity 1 can hear both sides of the conversation.


C:对呀,那又怎么了?


A:The person on the other end may not be comfortable with other people overhearing what he is saying, especially if he isn't aware that he is on speaker.


C:噢,你是说对方可能不想让别人听见他跟我说些什么。


A:Exactly. Always ask permission before putting people on speaker phone.


C:谢谢你的忠告,免得我得罪人。


******


下午下班得时候,Amy又遇到了陈豪。


A:Chen Hao, how was your day?


C:还记得我们说的speaker phone吗?有个客户打电话给我问资料,我就问他能不能把电话放在speakerphone上,这样我就可以一边找资料,一边跟他通话了。


A:What did he say?


C:他说没问题,还谢谢我征求他的意见。可是我隔壁的Joe很不高兴,因为我们的谈话干扰了他的工作。


A:That is another point you need to be aware of regarding speaker phones. Using them in your cubicle 2 when others are working in adjacent cubicles 3 is inconsiderate.


C:既然有这么多限制,那这种功能不是白费了吗?


A:You can use it, just be thoughtful. Another reason that people use speaker phones is to be able to have a conversation or phone meeting when everyone involved cannot be present physically 4.


C:就是说,销售部主任正好出差,而咱们俩要是用一个电话跟他开电话会议就可以用speaker phone了吧?


A:Yes, with speaker phones, not everyone has to be in the same room to have a meeting.


C:Amy,你再提醒我一遍,什么时候该用speaker phone, 什么时候不该用?行吗?


A:It's really simple. Don't put people on speaker phone without asking permission and don't use speaker phone when it may disturb others.


C:好,我记住了。
