3.详细解说
1.“International Business Center”意为“国际商务中心”。
2.“...he'll get back to you the moment he's free.”意为“…他一有空就给您打回去。”这里有两个知识点要讲，其中，“get back to
sb.”表示“稍后再跟某人讲话或稍后再给某人打电话”。例如：I'll find out the prices and get back to you.（我把价钱弄清楚后给你
回电话。）I'll get back to you later with those figures.（我一会儿弄到那些数字再跟你说。）另外，“the moment”在这里作连词，
也可写作“the moment that”相当于“as soon as”，表示“一…就…”，例如：He said he'd phone you the moment he got home.（他说他一到家就给你打电话。）I want to see her the moment she arrives.（她一到我就想见到她。）
4.文化洗礼
美国人的幽默电话留言
美国家庭的住宅电话一般都有留言功能。如果电话在响了一段时间后没人接，电话机就会自动播送一段提示，内容通常是：“抱歉，我现在不在家，请您听到‘嘟’的一声之后留言。”由于这样的留言提示过于平淡，许多美国人都使用自己编写的个性化留言。下面是一些精彩的留言，我们从中可以看到美国人幽默的一面。
1."Hi. I am probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."
（嗨，我可能在家里，我只是不想跟我讨厌的人通话。请留言吧。如果我没有给你回电话，那么你就是我讨厌的那个人。）
2. "Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right, everything you say will
be recorded and will be used by us."
（请你留言。当然，你有权保持沉默。如果你放弃这个权利，那么你所说的每句话都将被记录下来，并且将被我们所利用。）
3. "Thank you for calling us. If you wish to speak to David. push 1, to Jane, push 2, to Alex. push 3, to Dog, push 4. All of
this button pushing doesn't do anything, but it makes you feel like we have a big phone system."
（谢谢你给我们打电话。如果你想找大卫，请按1．找简，请按2，找亚历克斯，请按3．找小狗，请按4。其实不管你按哪个键，结果都一样，但这会让你觉得我们家里好像有个很强大的电话交换系统。)
