「意味」(電話で)少々お待ちください.
※Couldを使うのが一番ていねいです.
Could you hold on?のようにholdの後にonを付ける場合もよくあります.
さらに,その後に,時間を表すa minute(1分),a few minutes(数分)やa second(1秒),a moment(瞬間,短時間)を付ける場合もよくあります.つまり,
Could you hold on a minute?
Could you hold on a few minutes?
Could you hold on a second?
Could you hold on a moment?
でも,a few secondsやa few momentsは使わないですね.
また,a minuteやa second,a momentの前にforを入れたりもします.つまり,
Could you hold on for a minute?
Could you hold on for a second?
Could you hold on for a moment?
「英会話例文1」
Could you hold on for a moment? I'll put you through.「少々,お待ちください.おつなぎしますので.」
