　　Student:Could you tell me some sentences that I can use in a phone call？You know my English is poor; I'm afraid I can't follow you.
　　你能跟我讲些打电话时有用的句子吗？你知道我英语不好，我怕自己听不懂。
　　Teacher:No problem. Basically, there are 3 situations in which people like you can't follow the foreign teacher. First, I may speak too fast, so you can't understand. In this case, you could say "You speak too fast; slow down, please."
　　没问题。基本上，在三种情况下，你可能会听不懂老师的话。种：我可能会说得太快，所以你听不懂。这种情况下，你可以说：“你说得有点儿快，请说慢点儿。”
　　Student:Wait a moment. I'll have to take down what you said.
　　等一下。我得把你说的记下来。
　　Teacher:Ok.
　　好的。
　　Student:What's the second point?
　　那第二点呢？
　　Teacher:The second is, maybe you can't hear me clearly. In this case, you could say "Excuse me; can you speak up, please?" or "I beg you pardon?"
　　第二种情况是也许你听不清我说的话。这时你可以说：“对不起，你能大点儿声吗？”或是：“请再说一遍好吗？”
　　Student:I see. What's the last point?
　　我知道了。那最后一点是什么？
　　Teacher:The last one is, you may miss or don't understand what I just said. In this case, you could say "I'm sorry; I don't understand what you're saying." Or simply "I don't get it."
　　最后一种情况是你可能没听到或是根本没听懂我说的话。在这种情况下，你可以说“不好意思，我不懂你说的是什么。”或者简单的一句“我听不懂。”
　　Student:Is there anything more?
　　还有别的吗？
　　Teacher:You'd better practice them before you learn more.
　　你还是先把它们练好再说吧。
　　Student:Thanks. I've learned a lot today.
　　谢谢。今天我学了很多东西。
　　Teacher:My pleasure.
　　很荣幸。
　　Attention Please...特别提醒
　　[1] 打电话的时候会用到许多功能句，比如，“你能再说一遍吗？”或是“你能大点儿声吗？”等等。这里是几个例子：Slow down, please. 请说慢点儿。Look at the time. Shall we talk next time? 看看表吧。我们下次再聊好吗？I'm happy to hear from you again. 真高兴又听到你的声音。
　　[2] I'll have to take down what you said.
　　to take down sth. 是一个非常实用的短语，用在当你需要自己或帮别人记下一些对方有用的信息时。您还可以这样说：I'd like to take down your number. 我得记下你的号码。Please let me take this down. 请让我把这个记下来。
