與子公司的業(yè)務電話（09:30 AM）

Working Together

One of the most important tasks I am in charge of is communicating with?worldwide subsidiaries.

I often communicate with them by sending e-mails or calling them directly.

I sent e-mails to the?international subsidiaries?regarding the PR workshop,?but some of them still have not?opened my e-mail.

Only a few replied. It is?always very difficult receiving?responses on time.

I found that calling them?directly is always better and?faster.

Due to the time differences,?I have to stay at work until late?to call many countries.

However, I still enjoy my work. I can still?build a good relationship with them even if I?don’t see them face-to-face.

TRANS

我負責的工作中最重要的一項事務就是與海外子公司進行溝通。
我經(jīng)常給他們發(fā)郵件或直接打電話。
我為了公關部的事情，給全球各地的子公司發(fā)郵件，但是有的人連看都不看。
只有少數(shù)人回信。想要按時收到回復太難了。
直接通話更快更省事。
由于時差原因，為了能跟世界各國的人通話，我要在辦公室等到很晚。
但我非常喜歡這份工作。雖然不能面對面交談，我們還是可以建立起很好的關系。

REAL TALK

I kept getting a busy signal.?
我打電話時線路忙。
I am sorry. I was on the phone. Jane called me from Canada.?
不好意思，當時正在接電話，是簡從加拿大打過來的。
It’s difficult to reach you.?Why don’t you sign up for a call waiting service??
要跟你通話真不容易呀，不如申請通話中接聽服務吧。
What is that??
那是什么功能呀？
You can still receive phone calls while you are on the phone.?
當你接聽電話時也可以接聽另一個電話。
Wow, that sounds like a great idea. I had better get it.?
