用法说明:
在国外工作节奏都比较快,所以有事商谈需要预约,与某人预先约定叫to make an appointment with somebody或者to fix an appointment with somebody; 守约是to keep one’s appointment; 取消约会是to cancel an appointment;失约是to break the appointment。
在语言文化中,需要注意的是,在英语国家,人们都习惯于拟定好各自的日程安排。无论是出门旅游、看病,还是请客吃饭、参加娱乐活动、走亲访友,都必须事先约好。一般说来,除了亲戚或最好的朋友之外,对一般的朋友和熟人的拜访,预约时间是非常必要的,因为人们通常不大欢迎不速之客,更不希望因此而使自己的计划受到影响。如果以约定好时间,就要按时赴约,不能早到,也不能迟到。如果是很早以前约好的,那最好在时间到来的前一周再加以确认。
补充情景对话:
A: Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Smith.
早上好, 我与斯密思先生有一个约会。
B: Please have a seat. He’ll be here in a few minutes.
您请坐。 他一会儿就到。
