纯正地道美语第317期(外教讲解):设置语音信箱
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.
当然可以！基本上你需要让别人知道来电者你是谁，让他们留下联系方式，这样的话你能给他们打回去。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，所以我可以这样说吗？“这里是艾比的语音信箱。请留下你的姓名和电话号码，我会给你打过去的。
B: That's more or less the idea, but try something that sounds more friendly.
这个还凑活，但是再想想如何表达得更友好一些。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，这样如何：我是艾比，很高兴你能打来电话！我会尽快给您回电，请务必告诉我您的姓名和联系方式。一会儿联系你！”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".
这又有点见外了，艾比。就这么说：“你好，我是艾比，现在不能立即接到你的来电，请留下你的姓名和电话号码，我会尽快给你回电的。谢谢。”A: That's perfect! Can you say that again and record it for me?
那很好！你能再说一遍吗？我想把它录下来。
