“接电话”常见的英文表达有 answer the phone 或 pick up the phone,具体使用可根据语境和习惯选择:
Answer the phone:侧重于“接听”的动作,即拿起电话并开始通话,更正式一些。
例句:Could you answer the phone while I'm in the shower? (我洗澡的时候你能接下电话吗?)
Pick up the phone:强调“拿起电话”的动作,通常也意味着开始通话,语气更随意。
例句:She didn't pick up the phone when I called her last night. (昨晚我给她打电话时,她没接。)
两者在日常交流中均可通用,无需刻意区分。
