在办公室接电话，可能是大家每天都要做的事情。可是有些人打起电话来就喋喋不休、没完没了地说，这时候你就应当客气地跟他说，我要挂电话了。

Sorry, but I’d better to hang up now. I have to get back to work.

(不好意思，我想我要挂电话回去工作了。)

I’m quite busy at the moment, could you call back later?

(能晚点打来吗?我现在有点忙。)

It’s getting late. Shall we talk about this tomorrow?

(很晚啦已经，要不我们明天再说。)

I won’t keep you any longer.

(我不耽误你时间了。)
