常見問題
「會議延期」英文是 postpone 還是 reschedule?
兩個都可以,意思稍有不同:postpone 是往後延,例如 We need to postpone the meeting until next week.;reschedule 是重新排一個時間,例如 Can we reschedule for tomorrow afternoon?。
電話裡「請稍等」英文怎麼說?
說 Could you hold on a moment, please?。要去看對方要找的人在不在,可以接著說 I'll check if she's available.(我看看她現在方不方便)。
email 的「附件」英文怎麼說?
附上檔案的動詞是 attach,例如 I've attached the file you asked for.(我附上了你要的檔案)。比較正式的寫法是 Please find attached the sales report.(附件是業績報告,請查收)。
