NOTE 辨析 Call, ring or phone? Call is the only one of these three words used in American English. Ring and phone are the most frequent words in this group in spoken British English, but call is usually preferred, even in British English, when there is an emergency that involves asking sb/sth to come to a place: call the police/fire brigade is much more frequent than 'ring/phone the police/fire brigade'. You call/ring/phone a person, place or institution; you call a cab/a taxi/an ambulance. 这三个词中只有call用于美式英语，ring和phone则最常用于英式英语的口语。但在紧急情况下打电话呼叫某人或某物时，一般倾向用call，即便在英式英语中也如此。call the police/fire brigade（报警；报火警）比ring/phone the police/fire brigade常用得多。call、ring、phone后可以接人、地点或机构，而cab、taxi、ambulance前要用call

◆I'll ring/phone you a cab.
