電話購物的後續問題
First One: I’m from BEC company.
Americans often use rhythmic knocks when they arrive at a friend’s door. Many people can tell who is waiting at the door just by hearing the speed, rhythm and strength of the knock on their door. But to a deliveryman, things are different. Once the door is opened, he should introduce himself immediately in case of mistake.
我來自BEC公司。老美到朋友家的時候，常常用個性化的敲門聲通知對方"老朋友來了!"僅僅通過敲門聲的頻率、節奏和強度,你就能分辨出是哪個朋友來了。但是對于一個送貨員來說，事情又不同了。門一旦被開啟,他就應該立即做自我介紹,以免產生誤會。
Second One: Here is the scarf you ordered.
"Ordered" means that you already decided to buy an item and asked that it be delivered to your address. Sometimes the company will expect the customer to pay for the product before it is delivered. In any case, the delivery person will certainly appreciate and sometimes expect a delivery "tip".
這是您訂購的圍巾。"Ordered"意味著你已經決定購買某件物品，並要求它被送到你的地址來。公司有時會希望顧客在送貨之前付款。但在任何情況下，送貨員都是被感謝的對象，並有可能得到一份送貨的"小費"。
Third One: I didn’tsgroupsa green one, I ordered a gray one.
This is an example of why correct pronunciation is important.
