English for Business Meetings 商务会议英语
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]会议是商业运作一个很重要的部分。并且如果你在一间跨国公司工作，有很多情况下，都是要以英语来开会。不论你是一位领导人或只是一位参与者，那就藉由这个商业会议程序用语来准备一下吧：Meetings are an important part of doing business. And if you're in a multinational company, many of those meetings will be conducted in English. Whether you're leading or just attending one, be prepared with these phrases for each stage of a business meeting:

[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]问候/开场白[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]一个会议的架构无论在任何语言里通常是相同的。会议总是以问候开始！对于英语，你将会更正式些 "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" 而非 "hello" 。然后，如果你正主持一场会议，你将需要宣布会议要开始了。例如： "Good morning. It looks like everyone here, so let's get started."
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]Greeting/Opening[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]The structure of a meeting is usually the same, regardless of the language. And meetings always start with a greeting! In English, you'll use the more formal "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" rather than "hello." Then, if you're leading the meeting, you'll need to announce that the meeting is starting. Example: "Good morning. It looks like everyone's here, so let's get started."
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]说明目的[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]下一步，你必须要提醒每一个人这个会议的目的是什么-什么事项需要说明。如果这你是会议主持人，你就要说： "We are here today to…";其它的说法你也许会听到： "Our goal today is…" ;然后简短说明一下即可。例如： "We are here today to discuss last quarter's sales figures."
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]State the Purpose[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]Next, you have to remind everyone what the purpose of the meeting is, what business needs to be addressed. If you're in charge, say: "We're here today to..." Other phrases you might hear are: "Our goal today is..." or "I've called this meeting to..." Then finish with a brief explanation. Example: "We're here today to discuss last quarter's sales figures."
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]回顾企业过去[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]因为会议通常是要处理目前企业的近况，你必须要先在呈现新的信息之前回顾旧的信息。这通常会发生在某人看了minutes from the previous meeting. Minutes是在会议中正式的纪录 ; 在看会议纪录之前，你可以这样说： "To begin, let's quickly go over the minutes from our last meeting" 的意思是回顾某事，这通常使用在企业上。
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]Review Past Business[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]Since meetings often deal with ongoing business, you have to review old information before presenting new. This happens when someone reads the minutes from the previous meeting. Minutes are the official notes from a meeting. Before reading the minutes say, "To begin, let's quickly go over the minutes from our last meeting." "Go over" means to review something and is commonly used in business.
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]说明议程及讨论[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]现在是讨论新的商业议题时候了！通常，你会跟着讨论议程, 称为 "agenda." 会议主持人将会带着每一个人了解agenda.他们会说： "Please look at your copy of the agenda. There are xx items on the list today. Let's start with number xx." [/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]然后，一个成功的会议是要照着议程进行。当按时来进入下一个主题时，你可以说： "Now that we've discussed…， let's move on to…" ; 。 "Move on" 一般都使用在商业议程上，它的意思是离开一个主题进入到下一个主题。
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]Introducing the Agenda and Discussion[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]Now it's time to discuss new business! Usually, you'll follow a list of discussion items called an "agenda." The meeting leader will start by drawing everyone's attention to the agenda. They'll say: "Please look at your copy of the agenda. There are xx items on the list today. Let's start with number xx." [/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]Then, the key to a successful meeting is keeping it moving forward. When it's time to move onto the next topic, say, "Now that we've discussed..., let's move on to..." "Move on" is commonly used in business settings and means to leave one topic and start another.
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]会议结束[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]结束了一个会议需要一些句子：总结每一件讨论的事情，感谢每一位出席的人，然后结束会议。这并不是一件很困难的事！总结是： "To sum up..." ;例如： "To sum up, we've determined the sales figures could be better and discussed solutions." 然后，感谢每一位出席的人： "Thank you all for attending/coming." 让每一个人知道现在可以离开了： "The meeting is finished." 最后，下一次如果还有会议就可以说： "We'll see everyone next..."
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]Finishing the Meeting[/b]
[/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]Finishing a meeting requires a few phrases: summarizing everything that's been discussed, thanking everyone for coming, and then dismissing the meeting. It's not hard, though! To summarize, start with: "To sum up..." Example: "To sum up, we've determined the sales figures could be better and discussed solutions." Then, thank everyone for attending: "Thank you all for attending/coming." Let everyone know it's okay to leave with, "The meeting is finished." Finally, if there's a follow-up meeting say, "We'll see everyone next..."
