shampoo and cut is on Saturday morning at 11 am.

A： I'll make sure he receives the message.

B： That's fine.

A： Thanks for calling.

2．对话要点分析：

1.)   Can I take a message？

如果对方要找的人不在，就可以问“我能不能为你捎个信儿？”

2.)   Oh yes， this is Penny's Pet Boutique.

电话英语中，一般用 This is ……句型让对方知道自己的身份。

3.)   I'll make sure he receives the message.

Make sure表示“确保某件事”.

2．对话要点分析：

2．对话要点分析：

1.)    May I speak to Mr. Johnson？

也可以说成 Is Mr. Johnson there?

2.)    I'm sorry，but Mr. Johnson is out at the moment.

Sb.is out 或 sb. isn't in这两个简洁句子都表示某人不在，at the moment 则表示“目前” 。

3.)   It's，area code  413， 447-9626.

Area code就是我们打长途电话时首先拨打的区号。

4.)   Extension 162.

机构内部的分机号码就是用 extension这个词来表示。

在西方文化生活中，人与人之间的社交活动通常有要预约。小到朋友之间约会吃饭逛街，大

到商务造访，都离不开“约会” 。和别人定约会，我们一般使用表达意愿的句型和提出要求、请求的句型：

I'd like to make an appointment.

I'd love to arrange a meeting with Dr. Johnson.

I want to make a date with you this Sunday.

I hope to have an appointment with Dr. Johnson.

请别人订约会我们说：

Would you please make an appointment for me？

Would you please arrange a meeting for me with Dr. Johnson？

Let's make a date to go shopping next Friday.

Let's make a date....是说话者发出的一个邀请。注意 Make a date 通常指私人化的约会，尤指男女朋友之间的约会。而 Make an appointment 可以指正式的商务约会，也可以指生活中的约会。

或者我们还可以用以前学过的提出建议或邀请的句型：

Shall we have dinner together tomorrow night？

Would you like to go to a movie with me tonight？

Do you want to dance with me tonight？

 

在约会这个问题上，外国人比较慎重。临时做出计划约请朋友是可以的，但是提前安排好计划则更为礼貌。除非遇上紧急情况，否则突然的拜访会被视为不礼貌的行为。同样，约会迟到也是非常不礼貌的。因此，如果有事不能如期赴约，应该尽早通知对方并道歉。还应注意的是，如果我们不能按照原计划赴约，一定应该给出一个合理的理由。例如

I'm sick.

I'm busy.

I've got to get up very early tomorrow　

I've got a date.

Date：可以泛指约会，也可特指男女朋友间的约会。美国的男女孩子通常到十四五岁时开始外出约会，典型的约会是看电影，跳舞或参加社交聚会。例如：Dinner Date 叫晚餐约会. I'd like to change the appointment from Tuesday to Wednesday.如同人与人之间的社交活动通常事先订立约会一样， 如果你不能守约或者想更改约会必须提前电话或者用以其他方式通知他人，否则是非常不礼貌的。在商务场合中，约定临近时，经常还要再确认。我们使用的句型仍然是表达意愿和提出要求的句型，我们需要注意的是和与约会相关的固定搭配：

I couldn't keep the appointment because I was sick.

He wants to change his appointment from Monday to Wednesday.

I changed the appointment from Tuesday to Wednesday.

I'd like to confirm our meeting tomorrow afternoon.

 

赴约为：Keep the appointment

取消约会：cancel the appointment

改变约会：change the appointment

确认约会：confirm the appointment / meeting

I'd like to make an appointment to see Mr. Cooper.

如果你想约见一些“大人物” ，比如老板，政界人士，教授，就必须事先预约。他们的日程安排一般有秘书掌握， 所以必须向秘书表明你的预约意愿，然后由她根据目前的安排确定具体日程。

Oh， I'd love to， but my aunt is coming to see me at 8：00.

通常情况下，在谢绝别人的邀请时，北美人不会直接说 I don't want to...这样的话来表示拒绝。按照英语的习惯，首先应该表示自己主观上是很想接受的，然后用“but”引出自己无法应邀的原因，自然也就说明了无法应邀这个事实了。

例如：That's very kind of you， but I have an appointment on Friday evening. 谢谢你，不过星期五晚上我已经有个约会了。

I'm going to call a plumber to come this afternoon.

Plumber：这里是水管工人的意思。

在西方，事先做好约定是维持社会工作生活正常秩序的重要环节。不只是吃饭、看电影、拜访别人要事先约定；见医生、律师、联系工人这些也都要事先约定。为了能够尽快达成目的，你必须早作安排，否则临时定约会困难会很大。
