Call is the only one of these three words used in American English. Ring and phone are the most frequent words in this group in spoken British English, but call is usually preferred, even in British English, when there is an emergency that involves asking sb/sth to come to a place: call the police/fire brigade is much more frequent than 'ring/phone the police/fire brigade'. You call/ring/phone a person, place or institution; you call a cab/a taxi/an ambulance. 这三个词中只有call用于美式英语，ring和phone则最常用于英式英语的口语。但在紧急情况下打电话呼叫某人或某物时，一般倾向用call，即便在英式英语中也如此。call the police/fire brigade（报警；报火警）比ring/phone the police/fire brigade常用得多。call、ring、phone后可以接人、地点或机构，而cab、taxi、ambulance前要用call◆I'll ring/phone you a cab. ■ dial / /ˈdaɪəl/ / (-ll-, NAmE -l-) [transitive, intransitive] to use a telephone by pushing the buttons or turning the dial (= the round part on some older telephones with holes for the fingers) to call a number 拨（电话号码）◆He dialled the number and waited.他拨号后等着通话。◆Dial 0033 for France.打电话到法国拨0033。◆She picked up the receiver, paused a moment, and then dialled.她拿起话筒，顿了一下，然后拨电话。■ telephone [intransitive, transitive] (especially BrE, formal) to make a telephone call to sb （给⋯）打电话◆Please write or telephone for details.欲知详情，请来信或来电。◆You can telephone your order 24 hours a day.一天24小时你都可以打电话订购。◆I was about to telephone the police.我正要打电话报警。▸ telephone noun [countable, uncountable] ◆The telephone rang and Pat answered it.电话铃响了，帕特接了起来。◆You're wanted (= sb wants to speak to you) on the telephone.有电话找你。■ reach [transitive] to communicate with sb, especially by telephone （尤指用电话）联系，与⋯取得联系◆Do you know where I can reach him?你知道我在哪儿能联系上他吗？◆You can reach me at this number.你可以打这个号码找我。■ ˌcall sb ˈup phrasal verb (especially NAmE, rather informal) to make a telephone call to sb 给⋯打电话◆I called him up and asked him how he was doing.我打电话给他问他过得怎么样。 |
