我覺(jué)得挺好的, 拿出來(lái)給大家分享??!
A call from a buyer 客戶來(lái)電
接電話時(shí),由于無(wú)法看到對(duì)方的容貌、表情,只能聽(tīng)到對(duì)方的聲音,因此對(duì)聲音的敏感度就格外重要。對(duì)在外貿(mào)等部門(mén)工作的職員來(lái)說(shuō),接聽(tīng)外國(guó)客戶打來(lái)的電話是家常便飯。有的人一聽(tīng)到話筒傳來(lái)“Hello”的聲音,常常會(huì)變得緊張,其原因一方面是怕聽(tīng)不太懂,另一方面是怕趕不上對(duì)方說(shuō)話的阿速度,因而造成溝通不暢的情況。若想克服這種恐懼感,首先,必須要把“聽(tīng)不懂很丟臉”的念頭丟掉才行。
當(dāng)你趕不上對(duì)方說(shuō)話的速度時(shí),可以委婉的說(shuō):
I’m sorry I can’t follow you. Would you repeat it?
抱歉,我跟不上你。你愿意再說(shuō)一遍嗎?
I couldn’t catch you. Would you speak more slowly?
我跟不上你。你愿意講慢一點(diǎn)嗎?
萬(wàn)一周?chē)h(huán)境太吵,以致于無(wú)法聽(tīng)清楚對(duì)方說(shuō)話時(shí),如果你說(shuō)的是,Will you speak more clearly?(你能不能講清楚點(diǎn)?)也許自尊心強(qiáng)的外國(guó)客戶聽(tīng)來(lái),可能會(huì)感到不高興,因?yàn)橛谩癱lear“這個(gè)詞,意思是對(duì)方講話不夠清楚,口齒不清。此時(shí)不妨改用以下說(shuō)法,較為合適:Would you speak more loudly, please?
我聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)你說(shuō)的話。你愿意講大點(diǎn)聲音嗎?
當(dāng)你忙得不可開(kāi)交,卻接到一通冗長(zhǎng)的電話時(shí),可以用
Thank you for calling. I wish we could talk longer, but I have kept my visitor waiting.
謝謝你打來(lái)電話。我希望我們能談一會(huì),但我已經(jīng)讓來(lái)客久等了。
這樣,既使對(duì)方了解到談話應(yīng)該結(jié)束,同時(shí)也不會(huì)顯得沒(méi)有禮貌。
我最初與老外通電話時(shí),也十分緊張,可是越緊張?jiān)铰?tīng)不懂。這可能需要一段時(shí)間才能克服這種心理。另外,聽(tīng)不懂的地方一定要再問(wèn),如果電話里實(shí)在聽(tīng)不懂,可以跟客戶說(shuō)可否發(fā)郵件確認(rèn),以免造成誤解。期待大家有接到任何人的電話都能應(yīng)對(duì)自由的那一天!
明天會(huì)給大家貼一些經(jīng)典的電話用語(yǔ)。可能覺(jué)得簡(jiǎn)單,但絕對(duì)實(shí)用,尤其是對(duì)于那些剛參加工作的外貿(mào)人員。
今天的內(nèi)容是一些簡(jiǎn)單實(shí)用的電話英語(yǔ)??此坪?jiǎn)單,用的時(shí)候你可不一定會(huì)說(shuō)呦。

明天會(huì)跟大家分享“接客戶”方面的用語(yǔ)。
Picking up a Buyer 接客戶
到機(jī)場(chǎng)迎接客戶,事先要和對(duì)方約在特定地點(diǎn)見(jiàn)面(如:機(jī)場(chǎng)的咖啡廳等),以免找不到人。與人相約,要守時(shí)。讓客戶久等,是很失禮的行為。
如果彼此沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)面,可先問(wèn)清對(duì)方的外形、特征和當(dāng)天穿著。當(dāng)天到達(dá)約定地點(diǎn),發(fā)現(xiàn)有符合特征的人,即可直接向前詢問(wèn)。。如:
A:Excuse me, are you Mrs. Penn? 對(duì)不起,請(qǐng)問(wèn)你是佩恩太太嗎?
B: Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you at last. 你好!很高興終于見(jiàn)到你!
在機(jī)場(chǎng)迎接客戶、朋友時(shí),可以使用下列簡(jiǎn)單的用語(yǔ)來(lái)打招呼:
Did you have a good flight?
=Did you have a nice trip?
旅途愉快嗎?
I hope you had a nice trip.
=I hope you have enjoyed your flight.
我希望你有個(gè)愉快的旅行。
按照我們一般打招呼的習(xí)慣,握手的同時(shí),往往會(huì)順手遞上名片。但在歐美,人們只有在認(rèn)為有必要繼續(xù)聯(lián)絡(luò)時(shí),才會(huì)遞上名片。所以,一般在告別的時(shí)候,在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)中遞出來(lái),名片才能顯示出它的意義和功效。一下是交換名片時(shí),常用的句子:
Hello! I’m David Li. Here’s my business card.
嗨!我是李大衛(wèi)。這是我的名片。
Oh, let me give you my business card before I forget.
哦,趁我還沒(méi)忘記以前,讓我把名片給你。
上車(chē)時(shí),要注意作為的安排。在有司機(jī)的情況下,車(chē)后座靠右側(cè)是上座;如果是車(chē)主自己開(kāi)車(chē),則車(chē)主旁邊是上座。但是吉普車(chē),則與一般轎車(chē)有不同的作為安排,即使有司機(jī),前座右側(cè)仍是上座。
其它時(shí)候,譬如說(shuō)在由機(jī)場(chǎng)到市區(qū)的路上,如果能彼此多聊聊,是比較理想的。此時(shí)的談話內(nèi)容不外是天氣、彼此的近況等話題,以此來(lái)打破僵局。這時(shí)可以說(shuō):
It’s very warm, isn’t it?
天氣很暖和,是不是?
Did everything go all right?
一切都還好吧?
How’s your business?
生意如何?
另外,如果在坐車(chē)的途中,恰巧看到自己公司的廣告牌,便何以借機(jī)介紹自己公司,同時(shí)拿這個(gè)話題打開(kāi)話匣子。
到了賓館應(yīng)幫助客戶辦理住房手續(xù),晚上道別時(shí)應(yīng)說(shuō):“Good night”。
此外,在道別的時(shí)候,遣詞用字尚還有一些需要注意的地方,對(duì)初次見(jiàn)面的人,道別時(shí),多使用“meet”(認(rèn)識(shí))。如:
I’ve enjoyed meeting you.
=I’m glad to have met you.
我很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你。
然而,對(duì)于認(rèn)識(shí)的人,則使用“see”(見(jiàn)到)這個(gè)動(dòng)詞。如:
I’m very glad to have seen you.
非常高興見(jiàn)到你。
至于我們常用的“慢走”、“走好”的客套話,西方人的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)則是:
Have a nice day!
=Have a good time!
祝你玩得開(kāi)心!
我在接機(jī)的時(shí)候,通常會(huì)拿著一塊寫(xiě)有客人名字或其公司名字的牌子,這樣比較保險(xiǎn)。字體要清晰醒目。記得有一次,我的一個(gè)同事去接機(jī),手里拿著一張寫(xiě)著客人名字的紙,她寫(xiě)的字體比較小,很難看清。結(jié)果,有一個(gè)老外微笑著走向她,跟她握手。她膽怯地問(wèn):“您是。。。。嗎?”老外一聽(tīng),仔細(xì)看了看她紙上寫(xiě)的名字,說(shuō):“Sorry, I’m not 。。。。”結(jié)果旁邊的人都笑了。
1. How are you today?
你今天好嗎?
2.Just fine,thanks. How are you?
很好,謝謝。你呢?
3.How’s everthing going?
你情況怎樣?
4.Not bad.
還不錯(cuò)。
5.How are you getting along?
你進(jìn)來(lái)怎么樣?
6.Nice to see you again.
再次見(jiàn)到你真好。
7.Nice to have met you.
很高興見(jiàn)到你。
8.It’s good to see you again.
真高興再見(jiàn)到你。
9.It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?
=Long time no see. (這個(gè)是中國(guó)人創(chuàng)造出來(lái)的句子,連美國(guó)人都用)
好久不見(jiàn)了,不是嗎?
10.Excuse me, but are you Mr. Smith from International Toy Trading Corporation?
請(qǐng)問(wèn),您是國(guó)際玩具貿(mào)易公司的史密斯先生嗎?
11.Please allow me to introduce myself.

14.We have talked to each other for several times over telephone.
我們?cè)陔娫捓镆呀?jīng)交談過(guò)好多次了。
15.Let me help you with that suitcase.
讓我來(lái)幫您提那個(gè)箱子。
16.No trouble at all.
一點(diǎn)也不費(fèi)事。
17. Yes, the flight was smooth.
是的,旅途很愉快。
18.Do you have all your luggage here?
你的行李都在這兒?jiǎn)幔?br />19.Will you introduce me to that lady?
把我介紹給哪位女士認(rèn)識(shí)一下,好嗎?
20.Let me introduce you two.
我來(lái)介紹你們兩位認(rèn)識(shí)一下。
▲介紹別人時(shí),原則是將級(jí)別低的介紹給級(jí)別高的;將年輕的介紹給年長(zhǎng)的,將未婚的介紹給已婚的,將男性介紹給女性,將本國(guó)人介紹給外國(guó)人。
21.John, I’d like you to meet our client, Mr. Rex Pike.
約翰,來(lái)認(rèn)識(shí)一下我們的客戶,雷克斯.派克先生。
22.Here is my card.

『親身經(jīng)歷』來(lái)我們公司的老外,一般都是我們幫他們預(yù)定好房間。在這種情況下,應(yīng)該事先通過(guò)郵件或傳真跟老外確定好他們想入住哪家酒店或什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的酒店,什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的房間,多少間,住幾晚等等。然后,客人入住時(shí),我們幫助Check in.但有時(shí)外國(guó)公司可能自己提前預(yù)定好了房間,這時(shí)我們就不需要幫他辦理入住了。
『明天的內(nèi)容是會(huì)見(jiàn)客戶』
A new Business Contact 會(huì)見(jiàn)客戶
在接待客戶、做出日程安排時(shí),應(yīng)考慮周全而且有禮貌。要盡量以方便客戶為原則,如果有時(shí)與自己公司內(nèi)部的日程安排發(fā)生沖突,應(yīng)對(duì)自己的日程安排做出調(diào)整。有時(shí),在做出日程安排時(shí),還應(yīng)考慮客戶來(lái)自哪個(gè)國(guó)家,盡量避免因時(shí)差給客戶帶來(lái)的不適。
見(jiàn)面介紹的先后順序在前面已經(jīng)介紹過(guò),這里不在重復(fù)。
介紹時(shí),記住對(duì)方的姓名是種禮貌。像How do you do, Mr. Brown? How’s going, Miss Lin?這類(lèi)寒暄,由于加上對(duì)方的名字,而使聽(tīng)的人倍感親切。所以在介紹時(shí),要注意對(duì)方的名字,迅速而準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤地把對(duì)方的姓名記下來(lái),萬(wàn)一聽(tīng)不清楚的時(shí)候,可以再請(qǐng)教對(duì)方一次,總之,以盡可能不叫錯(cuò)對(duì)方名字為原則。

Price Negotiation商談價(jià)格
商談價(jià)格是買(mǎi)賣(mài)之間很重要的一環(huán)。商品的價(jià)值往往同商品的本質(zhì)關(guān)系密切。當(dāng)要強(qiáng)調(diào)出口商品的品質(zhì)以使交易達(dá)到理想的價(jià)格時(shí),我們可以說(shuō):This one is very good for 10 US dollars.(這東西絕對(duì)值10美元。)或These are slightly higher in price, but their superior quality makes them more valuable than the less expensive ones.(這些貨價(jià)稍微高了一點(diǎn),但其優(yōu)異的品質(zhì),使它們比那些便宜的貨,更有價(jià)值。)
在談到商品價(jià)格便宜時(shí),買(mǎi)方切忌使用cheap這個(gè)詞,因?yàn)樵谖鞣饺丝磥?lái),它意味著商品是由廉價(jià)勞工(cheap labor)制造出來(lái)的廉價(jià)商品。應(yīng)盡量使用reasonable這個(gè)形容詞。如:The price is quite reasonable.(這價(jià)格相當(dāng)合理。)
討價(jià)還價(jià)的結(jié)果是雙方做出的讓步。在最后讓步時(shí)可說(shuō):“The best compromise we can make is …”(我們能做出的最大讓步是…)或者”This is the lowest possible price.”(這已是最低價(jià)格。),然后堅(jiān)定不移,否則,如果讓步太過(guò)分,就可能造成賣(mài)方的損失。
1. Let’s get down to business, shall we?
讓我們開(kāi)始談生意好嗎?
2. I’d like to tell you what I think about that.
我想告訴你我的一些想法。
3. Are those prices FOB or CIF?
這些價(jià)格是船上交貨價(jià)還是運(yùn)費(fèi)及保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)在內(nèi)價(jià)?
4. Are these prices wholesale or retail?
這些價(jià)格是批發(fā)價(jià)還是零售價(jià)?
5. That’s too high.
價(jià)錢(qián)太高了。
6. Oh, no, this is the lowest price.
噢,不,這是最低價(jià)。
7. Let us have your rock-bottom price.

價(jià)格范圍是多少?
9. They start at one hundred and fifty yuan and go up to two hundred yuan.
它們以50元起價(jià),至多到200元。
10. The price is quite reasonable.
這價(jià)格相當(dāng)合理。
11. The price is unreasonable.
這價(jià)格高得不合理。
12. Can you make it a little cheaper?
=Can you come down a little?
=Can you reduce the price?
你能不能算便宜一點(diǎn)?
13. That sounds very impressive.
