    确认 Making Confirmations

    在日常生活中,“确认”不仅起着提示双方、避免遗忘疏忽的作用,还可以利用这个程序对信息进行更新、补充和完善。

    确认信息

    可以确认的不仅仅是“预约”或者计划会议,还可以确认航班、饭店等旅行信息(travel information)。

    ☉I’m calling to confirm our appointment tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm.Is this time still convenient for you?

    我打电话是想确认我们在明天下午4点的会面。这个时间您方便吗?

    ☉Could you please confirm your address for me?

    请您帮我确认一下您的地址,可以吗?

    ☉If you don’t mind, let me confirm one more time.Your telephone number is 901-555-9853,correct?

    如果您不介意的话,让我再确认一次。您的电话号码是901-555-9853,对吗?

    ☉So that’s next Monday at 8 am for our meeting, right?

    所以我们的会议定在下周一早上8点,对吗?

    ☉The flight is scheduled to leave at 4:55 pm, correct?

    航班下午4:55起飞,对吗?

    ☉Just to be clear, our order is to be delivered by July 23,am I right?

    再确认一下,我们的订单是在7月23日发货,对吗?

    ☉The discount you are offering us is 4%,right?

    您给我们的折扣是4%,对吗?

    礼仪规则

    确认要在前一天(a day in advance)进行。如果有变动,这个时候就应该明确提出。别提前三天就打电话(有些变化不可预知),或者当天才打,这会让人觉得你组织不力。确认电话要礼貌、简短,要感激对方抽出时间来帮你确认信息。

    ☉I’m calling to confirm my meeting tomorrow with Ms.Goldberg.

    我打电话是想确认一下明天我和戈德堡女士会面的事。

    ☉Is Mr.Thomas still available to meet with me tomorrow afternoon at 2 pm?

    托马斯先生还方便明天下午两点和我见面吗?

    ☉I have a job interview scheduled for tomorrow morning at 10 am.I’m just calling to confirm the time.

    我的求职面试约在明天上午的10点,我想确认一下。

    ☉Will you still be able to make your appointment with us tomorrow at

    4:30?

    您是否依然能够如期出席明天4:30与我们的会面?

    电话确认

    如果你对自己的听力缺乏信心,那么就不要嫌麻烦,核对一下相关的名称拼写、电话、地址等信息。

    ☉Would you mind spelling your name for me, Mr.Lewis?Thank you.

    您是否介意拼写一下您的名字,刘易斯先生?谢谢您。

    ☉So that’s Jerome Lewis, J-E-R-O-M-E L-E-W-I-S, correct?

    所以是杰罗姆·刘易斯先生,J-E-R-O-M-E L-E-W-I-S,对吗?

    ☉Let me confirm quickly, your number is 703-746-3432?

    我简短地再确认一下,您的号码是703-746-3432,对吗?

    ☉Can you confirm your address for me?Is it 109 Jefferson Avenue?Do you have apartment number?

    您能否确认一下您的地址?是杰弗森大街109号吗?您有固定电话吗?

    出行确认

    出行前应该提前一个星期确认机票。在确认的过程中,你要确保航班信息(flight information)无误,说明你要求的特殊服务、特别的位置、特殊的医疗照顾等。你可以打电话到航空公司、访问网站或者亲自(in person)前往航空公司确认。

    ☉I’d like to confirm my flight.

    我想确认一下我的航班。

    ☉My flight number is NH109,leaving from New York to Beijing.

    我的航班号码是NH109,是从纽约飞往北京的。

    ☉I would like to request an aisle seat, if possible.

    如果有可能,我想要一个靠近过道的位置。

    总结

    繁杂的工作让人头晕目眩,在这种情况下,很容易把某个约定丢到脑后。确认预约不仅可以避免遗忘,还可以帮您赢得专业声誉。“确认信息”同时也是补充、更新信息的过程,能让您的活动更加有效。
