通过电话,除 on the phone 外,能否用 through the phone, by phone?
通过信件,应该是 by letter 还是 by letters?
辛苦专家解惑,谢谢。
1. on the phone (= speaking on the telephone) 在通电话
例如:Who was that on the phone? 打电话的是谁?
2. by phone / over the phone (= using the telephone)通过电话
例如:Much of his work is done by phone. 他的工作大部分是通过电话进行的。
