重點講解：
“appointment”與“date”的意思都是“約會”，但是含義不同。“appointment”常用于商務(wù)會談中，是比較正式的預(yù)約;而“date”僅指一般性的約會。比如：he has an appointment with the doctor this afternoon. 今天下午他和醫(yī)生有個約會。 he dated his girlfriend on sunday. 他和他的女朋友在周日有約會。
a: 早上好!有什么為您效勞的嗎?
b: 早上好!請問史密斯先生在嗎?我事中石油的程軍，我想見他。
a: 您和史密斯先生有預(yù)約嗎?
b: 沒有，我有緊急事情要和他談?wù)劇?BR>
