商務交往中，很多人誤以為安排會面只是秘書的工作，其實不然。每個職場人都有可能會遇到安排會面的情況。有時候，情況還可能很復雜，更改會面的時間、地點，甚至取消會面都有可能發生。

1.安排會面必備第一句：我能和您約個時間見面嗎？

經典表達：

May I have an appointment with you?
我能和您約個時間見面嗎？

Will you be available this afternoon?

 

2.安排會面必備第二句：您能給我安排一下和XXX會面的時間嗎？

經典表達：
Could you arrange a meeting with your boss?
您能給我安排個時間和您老板見面嗎？

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

 

3.安排會面必備第三句：確定時間、地點

經典表達：

How about ten o’clock on Thursday morning at your office?
周四早上十點在您辦公室可以嗎？

Would Friday morning be convenient for you?

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

 

4.更改會面必備：能把會面時間推遲到明天嗎？

經典表達：

Could we postpone our talk to the following day, at the same hour and the same place?
我們能把約會時間推遲到原定時間后一天，時間地點不變，可以嗎？

We can make it some other time.I would like to postpone the meeting until Monday afternoon, would that be convenient for you?

 

5.取消會面必備：抱歉，恐怕我要取消我們的約會了。

I must make apologies. I’m afraid I have to cancel our appointment.
抱歉，恐怕我要取消我們的約會了。

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

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

注：take a rain check是一個習語。Rain check原指棒球等露天球賽因下雨改期再賽時，下次入場還可使用的原票根，引申為“雙方無法約定日期，改期再約”。
