Would You Care to Hold? | 您要等一会吗?

English Original

There I was, my first day on the job as a receptionist, handling one phone call after another like an old pro, when an employee stopped by my desk.

"Have you ever done this before?" she asked.

"No," I said.

"Thought not. You just told that caller, 'The person you want is on vacation. Would you care to hold?'"


中文翻译

那是我第一天上班,担任前台接待员。我像一个经验丰富的老手一样,一个接一个地处理着电话。这时,一位员工走到我的桌前。

“你以前做过这个工作吗?”她问道。

“没有,”我说。

“我就知道没有。你刚才对那位来电者说,‘您要找的人正在休假。您要等一会吗?’”
