「你靜音了」英文怎麼說？You're on mute 視訊會議英文救急

視訊會議時同事嘴巴在動、卻完全沒聲音，你脫口而出 “Your microphone is closed.”——對方大概聽得懂，但英文母語者不會這樣說。

對方忘了開麥克風，說 You’re on mute.（你靜音了）。聲音斷斷續續說 You’re breaking up.，沒聽清楚說 Could you say that again?

💡 先搞懂：視訊會議出狀況，別直翻中文

中文說「你麥克風沒開」「你網路很爛」「請再說一次」，直翻成英文會變得很生硬，甚至像在怪對方。英文有一套固定說法：對方靜音就說 You’re on mute.，自己忘了開就說 Sorry, I was on mute.；聲音斷斷續續說 You’re breaking up.；畫面卡住說 You froze.；沒聽清楚說 Could you say that again?

台灣人最容易卡的雷：① Your microphone is closed. → You’re on mute.；② Your internet is very bad. → You’re breaking up.；③ Please say again. → Could you say that again?

嗯，看得到。所以，客戶要我們星期五前交最終報告，他們也問了預算的事。

Amy

Sorry, Ryan, your internet is very bad.

抱歉 Ryan，你的網路很爛。（太直接，要說 You’re breaking up）

Ryan

Ah, I think I’m breaking up. My Wi-Fi is acting up today. Is this any better?

啊，我聲音應該斷斷續續的。我的 Wi-Fi 今天怪怪的。這樣有好一點嗎？

Amy

A little. Please say again the last part.

好一點。請再說一次最後那段。（要說 Could you say that again?）

Ryan

Sure, no problem. I said the client wants the final report by Friday.

好，沒問題。我剛說客戶要我們星期五前交最終報告。

Amy

Got it, Friday. Oh, wait. I think you froze.

了解，星期五。喔，等等，你畫面好像卡住了。

Ryan

Let me turn off my camera. That should help. Better now?

我把鏡頭關掉，應該會好一點。現在呢？

Much better! I’ll send you the draft after lunch.

Sounds great. Thanks, Amy. Talk to you later!

① 你靜音了

❌ 中文腦會說

Your microphone is closed.

麥克風不用 close

✅ 該這樣說

You’re on mute.

你靜音了

為什麼：線上會議固定說 on mute。自己忘了開就說 Sorry, I was on mute.

② 你聲音斷斷續續

❌ 中文腦會說

Your internet is very bad.

像在怪對方

✅ 該這樣說

You’re breaking up.

Please say again.

中文直翻

✅ 該這樣說

Could you say that again?

重點句型 Sentence Patterns

1. 對方沒開麥克風 → You’re on mute.

別說 microphone is closed，線上會議固定說 on mute。

例：”I think you’re muted.”（「你好像靜音了。」）
例：”Oh, sorry! I was on mute.”（「喔抱歉！我剛剛靜音了。」）

自己講了半天才發現靜音，說 Sorry, I was on mute. 大家都遇過，笑一笑就好。

2. 聲音斷斷續續 → You’re breaking up.

例：”You cut out for a second.”（「你剛剛斷掉了一下。」）

逐字稿 Transcript

Hi, I’m Jason, and welcome to MJ English. Okay, confession time. Last week I talked for five full minutes in a video call, and nobody said a word back. Turns out I was on mute the whole time. Everyone just watched my mouth move.嗨，我是 Jason，歡迎收聽 MJ English。好，來自首一下。上週我在視訊會議裡整整講了五分鐘，結果沒半個人回應。原來我從頭到尾都在靜音。大家就只是看著我的嘴巴在動。

Oh no, I’ve done that too! Hi, I’m Mary. Honestly, everyone has. So today we’re talking about video-call emergencies at work. Someone’s on mute, the audio breaks up, the screen freezes. What do you say when that happens?天啊，我也幹過這種事！嗨，我是 Mary。老實說，大家都有過。所以今天我們來聊工作上的視訊會議突發狀況：有人靜音、聲音斷掉、畫面卡住。遇到這些，你該怎麼說？

Today’s story is about Amy in Taipei and her coworker Ryan in Seattle. It’s Monday morning, and they’re on a video call. Amy makes three Chinglish mistakes, and Ryan uses the natural phrases without even thinking about it.今天的故事是台北的 Amy，跟她在西雅圖的同事 Ryan。時間是週一早上，他們在開視訊會議。Amy 犯了三個中式英文的錯，而 Ryan 想都不用想，就自然地用了對的說法。

Okay, first one. Amy can’t hear Ryan, so she says, “Your microphone is closed.” We understand the idea, but English speakers don’t say it that way. In Chinese we say the microphone is off, so it feels natural, right?好，第一個。Amy 聽不到 Ryan，所以她說：Your microphone is closed.意思我們懂，但英文母語者不會這樣說。中文會說麥克風關著，所以我們會覺得很自然，對吧？

Right. The natural way is, “You’re on mute.” You can also say, “I think you’re muted.” Both are super common. And Ryan says, “Oh, sorry! I was on mute. Can you hear me now?” That’s exactly what you’d say too.對。自然的說法是You’re on mute.你也可以說I think you’re muted.兩種都超常見。然後 Ryan 說：Oh, sorry! I was on mute. Can you hear me now?你也可以這樣說。

And if you’re the one who forgot, just say, “Sorry, I was on mute.” Don’t be embarrassed. Everyone has done it, so laugh it off and keep going. Honestly, a little laugh makes the whole meeting feel warmer and more relaxed.如果是你自己忘了開，就說Sorry, I was on mute.不用不好意思，大家都遇過，笑一笑繼續就好。老實說，笑一下會讓整場會議氣氛更溫暖、更輕鬆。

Next, Amy says, “Sorry, Ryan, your internet is very bad.” Now, it might be true, but it sounds like she’s blaming him. Like it’s his fault. And nobody wants to feel blamed at nine a.m. on a Monday, right?接著 Amy 說：Sorry, Ryan, your internet is very bad.這可能是真的，但聽起來像在怪他，好像是他的錯。而且週一早上九點，誰想被人怪啊，對吧？

So what do we say instead? “You’re breaking up.” That only describes the sound. It doesn’t blame anybody. You can also say, “You cut out for a second.” Same idea: the sound dropped out for a moment.那該怎麼說？You’re breaking up.這句只是描述聲音，不怪任何人。你也可以說You cut out for a second.意思差不多：聲音中斷了一下。

And here’s a little joke. “You’re breaking up” does not mean someone is breaking up with you! Not in a meeting, anyway. Ryan answers, “I think I’m breaking up. My Wi-Fi is acting up today.” Acting up means it’s not working well.順便開個小玩笑。You’re breaking up不是有人要跟你分手喔！至少在會議裡不是。Ryan 回答：I think I’m breaking up. My Wi-Fi is acting up today.acting up 就是運作得不太正常。

Ha, that would be a really bad Monday. Okay, third mistake. Amy says, “Please say again the last part.” It’s a direct translation from Chinese, so it sounds a bit stiff and a little strange to native ears.哈，那週一就太慘了。好，第三個錯。Amy 說：Please say again the last part.這是從中文直翻的，所以母語者聽起來有點硬，也有點怪。

Here’s the fix. Say, “Could you say that again?” Two things to notice. “Say” needs “that” after it. And “Could you” makes the sentence polite. You can also say, “I missed the last part.” That works great too.修正方式是說Could you say that again?有兩個重點：say 後面要接 that；而 Could you 會讓句子比較禮貌。你也可以說I missed the last part.這句也很好用。

In the story, Ryan answers, “Sure, no problem. I said the client wants the final report by Friday.” See how friendly he sounds? He doesn’t mind repeating it at all. That’s exactly the kind of reply you want from a coworker.故事裡 Ryan 回答：Sure, no problem. I said the client wants the final report by Friday.有沒有發現他聽起來很親切？他一點都不介意再說一次。這就是你會想從同事那裡聽到的回應。

Now, the screen freezes. Amy says, “I think you froze.” Froze is the past of freeze. You can also say, “Your screen is frozen.” Both are normal. Think of a frozen picture, like it’s stuck in ice.再來是畫面卡住。Amy 說：I think you froze.froze 是 freeze 的過去式。你也可以說Your screen is frozen.兩種都很正常。想像畫面像被冰凍住一樣，動不了。

And what’s the fix? Ryan says, “Let me turn off my camera.” Turning off the video uses less data, so it often helps. If it keeps happening, a bonus phrase is, “Let me leave and rejoin.” Quick and easy.那怎麼解決？Ryan 說：Let me turn off my camera.關掉影像比較省網路流量，所以通常有幫助。如果一直發生，還有個加碼說法：Let me leave and rejoin.又快又簡單。

Last tip, and it’s my favorite. Before you start talking, check first. Say, “Can you hear me okay?” Or if you’re sharing, “Can everyone see my screen?” That could have saved me five minutes of talking to nobody.最後一招，也是我最愛的。開口講之前，先確認一下。說Can you hear me okay?如果要分享畫面，就說Can everyone see my screen?這樣我就不用對著空氣講五分鐘了。

Ha, yes! And if someone asks you, a great answer is, “Yes, loud and clear.” That means I can hear you very well. Amy says it in the story, and it’s a nice, confident way to say everything is fine.哈，對！如果有人問你，很棒的回答是Yes, loud and clear.意思是我聽得非常清楚。故事裡 Amy 就這樣說，是一個很有自信的說法，表示一切正常。

Let’s put it together. On mute? “You’re on mute.” Audio cutting out? “You’re breaking up.” Missed something? “Could you say that again?” Screen stuck? “I think you froze.” Short, simple, and nobody feels blamed.我們來整理一下。對方靜音？You’re on mute.聲音斷斷續續？You’re breaking up.沒聽清楚？Could you say that again?畫面卡住？I think you froze.又短又簡單，也沒人會覺得被怪。

I like that. And these are for real life, not only for tests. Next Monday, try one of them in your own meeting. Even one phrase will make you sound more natural and more relaxed on camera.我喜歡這個整理。而且這些是生活中真的會用到的，不只是考試用。下週一，在你自己的會議裡試一句看看。就算只用一句，你在鏡頭前也會聽起來更自然、更放鬆。

Totally. Don’t try to use all of them at once. Pick the one you need most. For me, it’s “Can you hear me okay?” Now I check before I say anything, and my coworkers are very happy about it.沒錯。不要想一次全部用上，挑你最需要的那一句就好。對我來說就是Can you hear me okay?現在我開口前都會先確認，同事們都很開心。

Same here. I say, “Sorry, I was on mute,” all the time, because I forget all the time! It’s so common that people just smile, and the meeting moves on. Nobody remembers it five minutes later.我也是。我常常說Sorry, I was on mute.因為我常常忘記！這太常見了，大家只會笑一笑，會議就繼續了。五分鐘後根本沒人記得。

Okay, we’re almost done. Amy made three small mistakes, and now you know every fix. Ready to hear how Amy and Ryan sound together in the real flow of a meeting?好，我們快講完了。Amy 犯了三個小錯，現在你知道每一個的修正方式了。想不想聽聽 Amy 和 Ryan 在真實的會議節奏裡聽起來是什麼樣子？

Let’s hear the whole conversation one more time. This time, listen for all five phrases we talked about today, and see how many of them you can catch. Here we go!我們把整段對話再聽一次。這次請注意今天聊到的五個說法，看看你能抓到幾個。開始囉！

🔁 [DIALOGUE REPLAY] 重播情境對話

The second time through, you’ll notice how short and easy these phrases are. Ryan never sounds nervous, and neither will you. Listen for on mute, breaking up, say that again, and froze.第二次聽，你會發現這些說法有多短、多簡單。Ryan 完全不緊張，你也不會。注意聽 on mute、breaking up、say that again，還有 froze。
