在描述“他不在”的时候,不要说“he is not here”啦!

当有人打电话或者询问某人是否在场时,我们有时会需要委婉地表达对方不在的情况。

比如,有人问你A在不在办公室,恰好A不在,你会怎么回答?

“He is not here”?

 "He is not here" 这个表达方式在日常英语中是非常常见的,用来表示某人不在特定的地方,比如办公室、家里或其他场所。

例如:

A: Is John in the office?

B: No, he is not here right now. He'll be back after lunch.

这句话的意思是:“约翰现在不在办公室,他午饭后会回来。

那么,除了这个表达方式,还有没有其他短语短句能够表达相同的意思呢?

1. He's not available right now

这是一个比较委婉的表达方式,表示对方目前不方便接电话或见面。

例句:

I'm sorry, he's not available right now. Can I take a message?


She's not available at the moment. Would you like to leave a message?

2. He's out

简洁而直接的表达方式~

例句:

A:I'm afraid he's out at the moment. Can I help you with anything?

B:He's out right now. Would you like to call back later?

3. He's away

这个表达方式意味着对方不在,可能是因为出差或度假等原因。

例句:

A:He's away on business this week. Would you like to leave a message for him?

B:I'm sorry, but he's away until next Monday.


4. He's not in

这个表达方式直接表示对方不在家或不在办公室。

例句:

A:I'm sorry, but he's not in right now. Would you like to leave a message?

B:She's not in the office today. Can I take a message for her?

5. He's currently unavailable

这是一个比较正式和礼貌的表达方式,适用于需要稍微正式的场合。

例句:

He's currently unavailable. May I ask who's calling?

She's currently unavailable. Can I help you with something else?
