9. I'm calling to check my order status.我打电话来查看我订单的状况.
以前我因为不知道 check order status 这个用法, 常拉拉杂杂讲了一堆才能表达我的意思. 例如我可能会说, "I ordered something yesterday. Can you check if you've shipped it or not." 这句话听起来是不是蛮笨的? 后来我暗中观察, 同样的情况原来老美居然都简简单单地说 "I want to check my order status." 或是 "I want to track my order status." 就能完整地表达这句话的意思, 真是太神奇了.
这让我想到有一次在机场也是, 我想问柜台小姐我的朋友倒底坐哪一班飞机, 那班飞机有没有慢分, 他大概几点会到, 当我好不容易讲完这么长一串时, 柜台小姐居然只回了我一句, "You wanna check passenger status?" 差点没昏到, 原来我只要用 check passenger status 就行了喔?
10. I was referred to you by Mr. Gordon. 我是 Gordon 先生介绍我来的.
打电话到别人公司如果是有求于人的话,例如要去应征啦或是推销东西啦, 最好能先攀点关系啦! 例如最常用的招数, 我是某某人介绍来的, 就是 "I was referred to you by someone." (注意, 介绍在这里用 refer 而不是用 introduce.) 还有呢? 如果你今天拿到了该公司的折价卷, 则最好也是开宗明义地说, "I got your number from a coupon, which says your product is 50% off today." (我是根据你们折价卷上的号码打过来的, 它上面写着今天产品五折优待.) 这样子让他想赖都赖不掉. 总之呢? 先表明自已是怎么搭上这条线的, 这样子别人才不会有突兀的感觉啦
