Secretary: Mrs Black is here to see you, Mr Matthews.
Black: Good morning, Mr Matthews.
Francis: Good morning, Mrs Blake.
Black: Black. My name is Black.
Francis: Oh. I'm sorry, Mrs Black.
Black: Yes, that's right. B-L-A-C-K.
Francis: B-L-A-C-K. Good. Come into my coffice, Mrs Black. Now, what can I do for you?
(Brown comes in)
Secretary: Good morning, sir. What can I do for you?
Brown: I want to see Mr Matthews.
Secretary: I'm sorry. I'm afraid you can't see him now. He's with Mrs Black. He's talking to Mrs Black. Can I have your name, please?
Brown: Brown. My name is Brown.
Secretary: Ah, yes. Mr Jim Brown.
Brown: Yes. That's right.

布莱克：早上好，我要找麦休斯先生。
秘书：请告诉我你的名字，好吗？
布莱克：布莱克，我叫布莱克。
秘书：是布莱克夫人还是布莱克小姐？
布莱克：布莱克夫人。
秘书：麦休斯先生，布莱克夫人要见见你。
弗朗西斯：早上好，布雷克夫人。
布莱克：是布莱克，我叫布莱克。
弗朗西斯：啊，对不起，布莱克夫人。
布莱克：对，这就对了。B-l-A-C-K。
弗朗西斯：B-L-A-C-K。好的。请进我办公室来，布莱克夫人。你有什么事？
秘书：早上好，先生。你有什么事？
布朗：我想见麦休斯先生。
秘书：对不起，恐怕你现在不能见他。他和布莱克夫人在一起，他正在和布莱克夫人谈话呢。请问你的名字？
布朗：布朗，我是布朗。
秘书：啊，对了，吉姆.布朗先生。
布朗：是的，不错。

注1. I want to see (Matthews)，这是表示要见某人的最常用的说法，它的字面意思是：我要见XXX，但也可以译为：我要找XXX。加上 please 时表示客气，可以译为一种婉转的语气，如我想见XXX，好吗？
注2. to want 表示意愿。表示想要干某件事情时说：
I want to watch TV.
He want to study English.
这里的 to watch，to study 是动词不定式，在句子的谓语动词后面作宾语。
注3. Can I have your name, please? 比 What's your name? 要客气一些。
注4. 介词 in 表示位置，into 表示动作方向：
IN: He's in London.
INTO: Come into my office.
注5. Now, what can I do for you? now 在这里只表示一种承上启下的语气，和 well 相似。What can I do for you? 直译是：我能为你做些什么？这是想提供服务或帮助的时候常用的说法，在商店、旅馆、机场等公共场所，服务人员对顾客常这样说。这句话和 Can I help you? 相似。
注6. I'm afraid … 当人们否定对方意见时，总是喜欢加上这类话来使语气委婉、客气一些。如：
I'm afraid you can't see him now?
I'm afraid he isn't here.

2. Can I speak to Mr Brown, please?

弗朗西斯向旅馆打电话找布朗。
Receptionist: Grand Hotel. Good afternoon.
Francis: Good afternoon. Can I speak Mr Brown? Mr Jim Brown.
Receptiomist: Certainly, sir. Just a moment, please. Mr Brown? There's a call for you.
Francis: Is that Jim Brown?
Brown: Yes. This is Jim Brown speaking. Who's that? Who's calling?
Francis: This is Francis Matthews here.
Brown: Hello, Francis. How are you?
Francis: I'm very well, thank you. And you?
Brown: Fine, thanks. Can I come and see you this afternoon or this evening?
Francis: Well, shall I come and see you?
Brown: All right. Come to my hotel this evening.
Francis: That's the Grand Hotel.
Brown: Yes. I'm in room 432.
Francis: Grand Hotel. Room 432. Fine. Shall I come at six o'clock.
Brown: All right. I'll see you at six. Goodbye.
Francis: Goodbye.

接待员：大饭店。午安。
弗朗西斯：午安。我找布朗先生讲话，好吗？吉姆.布朗先生。
接待员：好，先生。请等一下。布朗先生，您的电话。
弗朗西斯：是吉姆. 布朗吗？
布朗：是的，我是吉姆. 布朗。你是谁？你是哪位？
弗朗西斯：我是弗朗西斯. 麦休斯。
布朗：您好，弗朗西斯。你好吗？
弗朗西斯：我很好，谢谢。你呢？
布朗：我很好，谢谢。今天上午或晚上我来看你好吗？
弗朗西斯：啊，我来看你吧，好吗？
布朗：行，今天晚上到我旅馆来吧。
弗朗西斯：是大饭店吗。
布朗：对，我在432房间。
弗朗西斯：大饭店。432房间。好，我六点钟来，行吗？
布朗：行。六点钟见。再见。
弗朗西斯：再见。

注7. 打电话用语前面已学了一些，现在又增加几种说法：
(1) 电话中找人，说：Can I speak to (Mr Brown), please?
(2) 叫别人接电话，说：There's a call for you. 如果要找的人就在附近，也听到了电话铃声，那么就可以说：It‘s a call for you. 或者：It's for you. call 是 telephone call 的省略说法，是名词。
(3) 电话中问对方是谁，说：Who's that? 或：Who's calling? call 在此是动词，意为打电话。
(4) 电话中说出自己是谁，说：This is (Jim Brown) speaking. 或：(Jim Brown) speaking. 或：(Francis Matthews) here.
注8. 回答别人的请求，常说 Certainly. 表示：当然可以。Certainly. 比 Of course 语气和缓一些。
注9. come and (see) 常用于口语，表示来干什么。同样，还要以用 go and (see). 如：I'll come and see you.
Let's go and watch TV.
注10. this morning, this afternoon, this evening 是今天上午，今天下午，今天晚上。但今天夜里是 tonight.
注11. All right. 表示同意对方的要求或请求，与 okay（OK）相同，但美国用OK多一些。
