"Can You Speak Over the Telephone. Как вести беседу по телефону" - читать интересную книгу автора (Шелкова Т. Г., Мелех И. Я.)I TELEPHONE INSTRUCTIONSI. 1. First check the code[1] (if any) and number. 2. Lift the receiver and listen for dialling tone (a continuous purring). 3. Dial carefully and allow the dial to return freely. 4. Then wait for another tone: Ringing tone (burr-burr) the number is being called. The line is free. Engaged tone (a repeated single note) try again a few minutes later. Number unobtainable tone (steady note) replace the receiver, recheck the code and number, and then redial. 5. At the end of the call, replace the receiver securely. II. 1. Always give your name or the name of the office or your telephone number. 2. If you hear a series of rapid pips, the call is coming from a coin-box telephone. Wait until the pips stop and then give your name or telephone number. III. 1. First drop a coin piece (or pieces) into the slot. 2. Lift the receiver and listen for dialling tone. 3. Dial your number. 4. On hearing ringing tone, which means that the line is free, wait until your call is answered. IV. 1. Wait for the switchboard operator to say: “Number, please”, or “Switchboard operator”. 2. Give the number of the person you are calling. The operator will either repeat your number to make sure she got it right, or just say: “Thank you” and try to put you through. 3. Wait until your call is answered. You may use a telephone operated by a system known as STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling). 1. STD is quicker and cheaper, so dial as many of your calls as you can. 2. Maintain in your Personal Telephone Directory an up-to-date list of dialling codes and/or number of people you are likely to call. This will save you time in the future. 3. When you dial, don’t pause too long between digits. 4. If the number you want is engaged, wait a few minutes before dialling again. 5. Ask for the extension number on calls to a private exchange, this will save you time. If the extension you want is engaged it will usually pay, on an STD call, to clear and try again later. 6. If you hear a recorded announcement telling you that the trunk lines are engaged, replace the receiver and try again later. 7. Answer your telephone promptly, giving your name or the name of the office or telephone number. This saves the time and helps the caller. You can dial for yourself calls to most places in Europe and North America. 1. First dial the code of the country or the code for the place concerned and then the subscriber’s number. 2. If you wish to know the code for a place which is not shown in the Telephone Directory, ask the exchange operator. 3. When dialling to Europe or North America don’t pause more than two or three seconds between digits, especially the last few digits. The call may fail if you do. It helps to write down the whole code and number before you dial. You will often hear nothing for a half a minute or a little longer after dialling. 4. Do not replace the receiver before you have given the equipment time to connect the call. You may sometimes hear a series of very rapid pips. This tells you that the automatic equipment is putting your call through and asks you to hold on. 5. Should you want the operator to get your call, or if you have any difficulty in dialling your number dial the operator and your call will be connected. The three minutes minimum charge applies on all calls made through the operator. If the number you are calling is not on STD or ISD and you cannot dial the number direct, you have to make your call through the operator. When you book a trunk-call: 1. Give the country, the place concerned and the number you want your call to be connected with. 2. Say what kind of call you want to book. 3. Indicate the duration of your call if possible. 4. Give your name and telephone number. Trunk-calls can be as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The charge for a trunk-call is based on the duration of the call and the distance between the charging centres. Using a telephone directory is a simple procedure for those who live in small towns. Because in larger cities the use of a large directory is somewhat more difficult, knowing the organisation of a city directory may prove helpful. The following information may be obtained on the front page of most alphabetical directories: Number of the fire department, police, or ambulance. Business office of the telephone company. Telephone repair service. Assistance, for help, in making a call. Information, to obtain numbers not in the directory. Long distance, to make a long-distance call. Most directories contain space on the first page in which to write numbers that you call frequently. On the second and third pages you usually find a description of the many services offered by the telephone company, as well as other helpful information such as Speaking Clock, Weather Forecast, Motoring Information Service (for weather and traffic conditions on the roads). The main section of the alphabetical directory is the part that you use most frequently. telephone телефон; to telephone (to phone) smb., smth. звонить по телефону кому-л., куда-л. call телефонный вызов, звонок; receiver телефонная трубка; to lift the receiver поднимать телефонную трубку; dial диск набора (на телефоне); to dial (dialled dialling tone продолжительный гудок, означающий, что можно набирать номер; to listen for dialling tone ждать гудка ringing tone редкие гудки, означающие, что линия свободна, ждите ответа the line is free номер не занят; engaged tone частые гудки, означающие, что линия занята number unobtainable tone гудок, означающий, что связи нет a series of rapid pips серия частых сигналов coin-box telephone телефон-автомат; extension добавочный номер; extension phone телефонный отвод; параллельный телефонный аппарат switchboard коммутатор; switchboard operator телефонистка trunk-call междугородный телефонный вызов; subscriber абонент Subscriber Trunk Dialling междугородная автоматическая телефонная связь; Telephone Directory телефонный справочник; to pause задерживаться, делать паузу digit цифра private exchange коммутатор (фирмы, учреждения и т.д.) to clear разъединять (абонентов); recorded announcement записанное на пленку сообщение или объявление caller лицо, которое звонит по телефону International Subscriber Dialling международная автоматическая телефонная связь to connect to hold on не класть трубку, ждать to make a call through the operator позвонить через телефонистку ADC = “advise duration and charge” сообщите продолжительность и стоимость разговора personal call station-to-station call разговор по телефону, заказанный на номер абонента transferred-charge call разговор по телефону, заказанный за счет вызываемого; charge плата (за телефонный разговор) alphabetical directory алфавитный справочник fire department police полиция ambulance скорая помощь telephone repair service бюро ремонта телефонов I. 1.
