7. CALLING A MEETING(Organising and hosting a meeting)
召开会议（组织和主持会议）
If you feel there is something that needs to be discussed amongst the team
you may want to ‘call a meeting’
or you may be ‘called to a meeting’ by another colleague or superior. Meetings can be announced verbally in small teams
posted on bulletin boards or (most monly these days) attendees are invited by email. If a verbal announcement is made
it should always be followed up by written confirmation. When contacting the prospective attendees
it is important to mention the time
date
place and topic/purpose of the meeting. If you are expecting to cover many topics
you should also send out an agenda (list of topics that will be discussed) so the attendees know what to expect and can prepare any questions
ments or information they would like to add to each point. Likewise
if you are called to a meeting and would like to prepare beforehand
don’t be afraid to ask the host (or chairperson) for a copy of the agenda!
如果你觉得团队中有需要讨论的事情，你可以“召集会议”，也可以由其他同事或上级“召集会议”。会议可以以小组形式口头宣布，也可以张贴在公告栏上，或者（通常是现在）通过电子邮件邀请与会者。如果口头宣布，应始终以书面确认为准。与潜在与会者联系时，重要的是提及会议的时间、日期、地点和主题/目的。如果您希望涵盖许多主题，您还应该发送一个议程（将要讨论的主题列表），以便与会者知道期望的内容，并可以准备任何问题、评论或信息，他们希望添加到每一点。同样，如果你被召集参加一个会议并且想提前准备，不要害怕向主持人（或主席）索要一份议程副本！
If anyone is expected to ‘have the floor’ (host a part of the meeting) or provide specific information
then don’t fet to notify them in person (or by phone if they’re not nearby!) of their duty
so they have time to prepare.
如果有人希望“发言”（主持会议的一部分）或提供具体信息，那么不要忘记亲自通知他们（如果他们不在附近，也可以通过电话通知！）他们的职责，所以他们有时间准备。

召开会议-商务会议的用语
SAMPLE EMAIL FOR CALLING A MEETING:
召集会议的电子邮件示例：
Good Afternoon Everyone

大家下午好，
There will be a meeting next week Thursday (26th) at 3pm in Room 5C. All staff in the marketing team are expected to attend
as we will be discussing our strategy for the next quarter.
下周星期四（26日）下午3点在5C室举行会议。由于我们将讨论下一季度的战略，预计营销团队的所有员工都将出席。
We’re having this meeting earlier than usual due to the sudden surge of popularity surrounding our latest product. Please e prepared with ideas
queries
suggestions for further promotions and any questions
as we will not have time to discuss this during peak time.
由于我们的最新产品突然大受欢迎，这次会议比平时提前举行。请准备好进一步促销的想法、问题、建议和任何问题，因为我们在高峯期没有时间讨论。
Please expect the meeting to last approximately 3 hours.
请期待会议持续约3小时。
Yours

你的，
Nadine Thomas
纳丁·托马斯
Marketing Supervisor
市场主管

8. WRITING AN AGENDA(Preparing the itinerary/topics for discussion during the meeting)
编写议程（准备会议期间讨论的日程/主题）
One mon issue that occurs with meetings is that they tend to run over the allocated time. If the attendees are told to keep 1 hour free for the meeting but are then occupied for 2.5 hours
then not only are they neglecting other important work
but it could also be very costly for the pany. One popular idiom to describe this would be ‘Time is money’ . If carefully anised and appropriately hosted
then a meeting CAN run smoothly. Having clear aims
setting time limits per topic
sticking to the agenda
and knowing how to ‘get back on track’ are key ponents of an effective meeting. The attendees will be more likely to provide input by asking questions and offering feedback if they know what to expect.
会议中出现的一个常见问题是，它们往往会超过分配的时间。如果要求与会者在会议期间保留1小时的空闲时间，但随后却被占用了2.5小时，那么他们不仅忽视了其他重要工作，而且可能会给公司带来很大的成本。一个流行的成语来形容这将是'时间就是金钱'。如果精心组织和适当主持，会议就可以顺利进行。有明确的目标，设定每个主题的时间限制，坚持议程，知道如何“回到正轨”是有效会议的关键组成部分。与会者更可能通过提问和提供反馈（如果他们知道预期结果）来提供意见。

ALLOCATING ROLES(Assigning specific duties to other members of staff)
分配角色（将特定职责分配给其他员工）
The person hosting the meeting may decide to allocate roles to other staff
such as taking minutes during the meeting (keeping a record of who attends and what is discussed)
speaking about a certain subject
providing figures or data on a specific topic. If you are allocated a role by the meeting host
then remember to ask questions about anything you don’t understand
rather than guessing…because it’ll be too late to prepare again once the meeting has begun! If you are hosting the meeting and would like to allocate a role to someone
remember to give them plenty of notice so they can prepare what you have asked them to do. Also
ask them if they are able to take on this role before you announce to everyone that they will be doing it
just in case they cannot.
主持会议的人可以决定将角色分配给其他工作人员，例如在会议期间做会议记录（记录出席者和讨论内容）、谈论某一主题、提供某一特定主题的数字或数据。如果会议主持人给你分配了一个角色，那么记住对任何你不明白的事情提出问题，而不是猜测……因为一旦会议开始，再做准备就太晚了！如果你要主持会议，并且想给某人分配一个角色，记得给他们很多通知，这样他们就可以准备好你让他们做的事情。另外，在你向每个人宣布他们将要做这件事之前，问问他们是否能担当起这个角色，以防万一。

10. TAKING THE MINUTES(Recording the meeting)
10.做会议记录
This usually consists of keeping a list of the attendee’s names
and recording everything that is discussed
in case it needs to be discussed again or reviewed in the future.
这通常包括保留与会者名单，并记录讨论的所有内容，以防将来需要再次讨论或审查。
Generally
someone who is not participating in the meeting would be called upon to be the minute-taker
but anyone may be assigned this responsibility
so it is good to be ready for it
in case your manager asks you to do it. Before the meeting begins
the minute-taker should obtain a copy of the previous (related) meeting’s minutes
a copy of the agenda for the new meeting and have a list of who is supposed to be attending
to hand. If you are not familiar with taking minutes
then it may be good to have an outline before going into the meeting to help guide you through everything that needs to be recorded. A standard outline should include:
一般来说，不参加会议的人会被要求做记录员，但任何人都可能被指派这一职责，因此做好准备，以防经理要求你做这件事。在会议开始之前，记录员应获得先前（相关）会议记录的副本、新会议议程的副本以及应出席的人员名单。如果你不熟悉做会议记录，那么在参加会议之前最好有一个提纲，帮助你完成所有需要记录的事情。标准大纲应包括：
The topic of the meeting / main items on the agenda
会议议题/主要议程项目
Meeting details (time
place
host
start time
end time)
会议详细信息（时间、地点、主持人、开始时间、结束时间）
A list of attendees to be ticked off (or a blank list for attendees to sign)
要勾选的与会者列表（或供与会者签名的空白列表）
taking the minutes - business english phrases for meetings
会议记录-商务英语短语
The minute-taker can choose to record the meeting on paper (handwritten) or on a puter (typed up)
whichever you feel more fortable will more than likely be asked to type the minutes up later
so that it can be stored electronically and sent around to all the attendees after the meeting – this should be done immediately after the meeting so that you don’t fet any of the points that were mentioned (even your own scribbled notes can seem hard to understand after a while)! Many people who are very familiar with minute-taking tend to use shorthand writing
which enables you to write a lot quicker and keep up with the discussion.
会议记录员可以选择将会议记录在纸上（手写）或电脑上（打印），以您更满意的方式记录。您很可能会被要求稍后打印会议记录，以便以电子方式存储会议记录，并在会议结束后发送给所有与会者，这应该在会议结束后立即完成这样你就不会忘记刚才提到的任何一点（即使是你自己潦草的笔记，过一段时间似乎也很难理解）！许多非常熟悉分钟记录的人倾向于使用速记，这使你能够更快地书写并跟上讨论。
If you are called upon to take minutes on a regular basis
then it may be worth learning how to do shorthand writing! Remember
you do not need to record every single word that is spoken! Only a brief outline of what is discussed
and all significant points that are made by any of the participants.
如果你被要求定期花上几分钟，那么学习如何写速记可能是值得的！记住，你不需要记录所说的每一个字！仅简要概述所讨论的内容，以及任何与会者提出的所有重要观点。
For example
if someone mentions an issue that needs to be dealt with
something positive that is working really well
and any feedback or suggestions. Any key points surrounding the main topics of the meeting should definitely be recorded
as well as any votes or decisions.
例如，如果有人提到了一个需要处理的问题，一些非常有效的积极因素，以及任何反馈或建议。围绕会议主要议题的任何要点，以及任何投票或决定，都应明确记录在案。
It is
sometimes
also important to record who said what
for this reason
the minute-taker should know the names of the attendees. If you don’t know their names
you should make a note of their seating position and ask their names at the end of the meeting. If the meeting is with a very large number of people who are not known to one another then
generally
it is customary for them to introduce themselves (mention their name or pany name) before they say anything else.
有时，记录谁说了什么也很重要，因为这个原因，记录员应该知道与会者的姓名。如果你不知道他们的名字，你应该记下他们的座位，在会议结束时问他们的名字。如果会议是与许多彼此不认识的人举行的，那么，一般来说，他们通常在说其他事情之前先自我介绍（提到他们的名字或公司名称）。

11. OPENING A MEETING(Starting the meeting)
开会（开始开会）
At the start
while the attendees are arriving
having refreshments or getting settled into their seats
it is polite to make small talk with others (polite conversation about unimportant or uncontroversial matters). This usually fills any awkward silences while people are waiting to begin. Once everyone has arrived
the person hosting the meeting should formally wele everyone to the meeting
and thank them for ing.
开始时，当与会者到达、吃点心或入座时，礼貌地与他人闲聊（礼貌地谈论不重要或无争议的事情）。当人们等待开始时，这通常会填补任何尴尬的沉默。一旦所有人都到了，主持会议的人应该正式欢迎所有人参加会议，并感谢他们的到来。
If there is a new person in the meeting
or a guest attendee who does not know the others
this would be the best time to make introductions. Followed by the roll call (checking to see if all the attendees are there) and any apologies that need to be made on behalf of an important figure or a regular attendee who couldn’t make it.
如果会议中有一个新的人，或者一个不认识其他人的来宾与会者，这将是进行介绍的最佳时机。然后是点名（检查是否所有与会者都在场）和任何需要代表重要人物或无法出席的普通与会者的道歉。
If the meeting is a small group then roll call is usually not necessary
as the person taking the minutes will be able to make a note of who was there. In a larger meeting
or one with guests whose names are not known
an attendance sheet should be sent around. So
now you should be able to successfully call a meeting
write an agenda
assign roles to others
take minutes
open a meeting
