3.详细解说

1.“reach sb.”在本对话中表示“（通过电话）联系到某人”。例如：I can probably reach him on his mobile.（或许我能打他手机联系到他。）“reach”作此义讲时，相当于“contact”。

2.“on business”意思是“出差，有公务”。例如：She's in New York this week on business．（这周她．在纽约办事。）Do you travel abroad on business more than three times a year?（你一年要到国外出差三次以上吗？）Linda had to go to Chicago on business.（琳达不得不去芝加哥出差了。）

3.“I'm afraid I can't make it．”在口语中经常用来表示亦不到某事，可译为“恐怕我做不到／办不到。”或根据情况译为“恐怕我不能…”，在这里可译为“我恐怕不能参加了”。“make it”表示“完成或做成某事”。

4.文化洗礼

办公室电话英语

日常办公，接打电话是少不了的。现在就来看看下面几句办公室电话英语的用法吧！

1.Onxiu.cn. May I help you?

昂秀网，请问需要什么帮助？

这大概是办公室电话英语中最常见的一句话了。一般拿起电话的人通常会先报公司的名字，然后再说，“May I help you?”或者也可以说“How can I help you?”等等，意思是“我能为您做些什么”。如果是机器应答，那么你很可能会听到这样的一段话：

“Thanks for calling Onxiu.cn. Please dial the extension or press 0 to get to the operator.”“感谢您致电昂秀网。请直拨分机号

，如需转总机，请拨‘0’.”

2.May I know who's calling?我能问一下您是哪位吗？

接电话时，通常我们要先确定对方的身份，比较客气的表达方法有

“May I know who's calling?” “Who's that speaking, please? “IS that…？”等等。
