点评:This afternoon around 2:00 PM, I called to ask if my family and I could book a horse trail ride. I wasn’t sure what time the rides ended, which is why I called to enquire. The woman who answered responded with, “It’s a bit late, isn’t it?” — which came across as quite dismissive and unhelpful.
I live in Eton, just five minutes from Stoney Creek Farm Stay, so making it in time for the 2:30 PM ride would not have been an issue. However, the tone and abruptness of the response made me feel unwelcome, and I decided not to proceed with the booking.
I’d suggest a more informative and polite approach when answering customer enquiries — especially when the caller is simply trying to understand availability and may live close by. A simple explanation of the schedule or asking where I’m located could have made all the difference in how the interaction felt.
翻译:今天下午两点左右,我打电话询问我和家人是否可以预订骑马路线。我不确定骑马路线什么时候结束,所以才打电话询问。接电话的女士回答说:“有点晚了,不是吗?”——这听起来很不礼貌,也没什么帮助。
我住在伊顿,离斯托尼溪农场住宿只有五分钟路程,所以赶上下午两点半的骑马路线应该不成问题。然而,对方的语气和唐突让我感到不受欢迎,于是我决定放弃预订。
我建议在回答顾客咨询时,采取更详细、更礼貌的方式——尤其是当顾客只是想了解是否有空位,而且可能住在附近的时候。简单地解释一下行程安排,或者问问我在哪里,就能让沟通的体验大不相同。
