當用英文接電話時通常會說:「this is」,如果你想知道來電者是誰,那可以這麼問:「is this X?」、「who is this?」,若是面對面與談話,就可用「I am」。 例:Hello! I'm Jane. It's nice to meet you.(哈囉!我是珍,很高興見到你。)=> 面對面交談 例:Hey, this is Jane. I'm calling about your car that's for sale. (嘿,我是珍,我打來是想詢問那台你要出售的車。) 例: A: Hi there. Is this Jane I'm talking to? (你好,請問珍嗎?) B: Yes, this is Jane. Who is this? (是的,我是珍。請問您是哪位?)
