沪江小编:很多人误以为安排会面只是秘书的工作,其实不然。每个职场人都有可能会遇到安排会面的情况。有时候,情况还可能很复杂,更改会面的时间、地点,甚至取消会面都有可能发生。

1.安排会面必备第一句:我能和您约个时间见面吗?

我能和您约个时间见面吗?

举一反三:

I wonder if it would be convenient for you to meet us this afternoon?

Could you squeeze me in sometime this morning?

2.安排会面必备第二句:您能给我安排一下和XXX会面的时间吗?

经典表达:
Could you arrange a meeting with your boss?
您能给我安排个时间和您老板见面吗?

举一反三:

Will XXX be available on Monday?

I would like to make an appointment with XXX. Can you fit me in on his/her schedule?

3.安排会面必备第三句:确定时间、地点

经典表达:

How about ten o’clock on Thursday morning at your office?
周四早上十点在您办公室可以吗?

举一反三:

What about this afternoon?

Would Friday morning be convenient for you?

Could we make it at four o’clock on Tuesday afternoon?

4.更改会面必备:能把会面时间推迟到明天吗?

经典表达:

Could we postpone our talk to the following day, at the same hour and the same place?
我们能把约会时间推迟到原定时间后一天,时间地点不变,可以吗?

举一反三:

I wonder if you could change the time.

I would like to postpone the meeting until Monday afternoon, would that be convenient for you?

5.取消会面必备:抱歉,恐怕我要取消我们的约会了。

经典表达:

I must make apologies. I’m afraid I have to cancel our appointment.

举一反三:

I have something urgent tomorrow, so the appointment will have to be cancelled.

I’m really sorry about cancelling the meeting at the last minute.

I’ll have to take a rain check. Maybe another time?

沪江小编:take a rain check是一个习语。Rain check原指棒球等露天球赛因下雨改期再赛时,下次入场还可使用的原票根,引申为“双方无法约定日期,改期再约”。
