Meeting Arrangements
在涉外商务往来中，我们常常通过会议来布置、协调、研讨工作。要成功地举办一次会议，需要考虑很多方面的问题，例如安排参会人员、会议时间和内容等。下面，让我们一起开启新的学习，“精读”会议安排的实用会话吧！
对话
Steve: Morning, Emily.
Emily: Good morning, Steve.
Steve: Emily, have you finished the notice about the meeting?
Emily: Yes, sir.
Steve: Good. Could you give me the main points, please?
Emily: Sure. The meeting will be held at 3 pm on April 30, in Conference Room 2.
Steve: Who will be the chair?
Emily: Rose Ward.
Steve: Ah, good. Rose is very effective: No loose ends and always runs to time. That meeting will be in a safe pair of hands!
Emily: Yes.
Steve: What's on the agenda, then?
Emily: The first point is to figure out the reasons for the fall in sales of our skincare products in Southeast China.
Steve: I see. Tell Jack to prepare a copy of the sales figures and send it to me and the Board of Directors beforehand, please.
Emily: Yes. I've already arranged that. It will be on your desk tomorrow morning.
Steve: Good. Thank you.
Emily: Then, secondly, we will discuss and determine measures to deal with the problem.
Steve: OK. But do remember to include Leo Zheng and Maggie at the meeting.
Emily: Yes, certainly.
Steve: I think you'd better notify Rose of the information, as she is the chairperson. If there are any problems, she can come to me direct.
Emily: OK.
史蒂夫：早上好，艾米丽。
艾米丽：早上好，史蒂夫。
史蒂夫：艾米丽，你写完会议通知了吗？
艾米丽：写完了，先生。
史蒂夫：很好。你能把重点告诉我吗？
艾米丽：好的。会议将于4月30日下午3点在第2会议室举行。
史蒂夫：主持人是谁？
艾米丽：罗斯·沃德。
史蒂夫：啊，很好。罗斯很高效：不会有悬而未决的事，而且时间观念很强。会议由她主持一定很可靠。
艾米丽：是的。
史蒂夫：会议有什么议程？
艾米丽：第一点是弄清我们的护肤产品在中国东南部销售量下滑的原因。
史蒂夫：我知道了。请告诉杰克准备好销售数据的复印件，提前发给我和董事会。
艾米丽：嗯，我已经安排好了。明天早上材料会放在您的桌子上。
史蒂夫：很好，谢谢你。
艾米丽：然后，第二项，我们会讨论并决定解决问题的措施。
史蒂夫：好的。但是一定要记得让雷奥·郑和玛吉也参加这次会议。
艾米丽：嗯，没问题。
史蒂夫：我觉得你最好把情况都通知给罗斯，毕竟会议由她主持。如果有什么问题，她可以直接找我。
艾米丽：好的。
