常见的会议英语口语

常见的会议英语口语

一、宣布会议开始

1.Let's call the meeting to order.

2.Let's get things under way.

3.Let's get things started.

4.Shall we begin?

Order在此是指"会议的程序与规则";call有"宣布"的含意，call(a meeting)to order是开会时的惯用语，是"会议开始"的意思。此句型适用于宣布讨论要开始时，示意与会者安静，遵守会场的秩序。这里"call"亦可以"bring"代替。这个句型适用于正式的场合中。

如果与会者中有公司以外的人，可以这样说：

Well,ladies and gentlemen,I think we should begin.

也可以采用半正式的说法：

Perhaps we'd better get started/down to business.

All right,I think it's about time we get started/going.

Right then,I think we should begin.

较口语的说法有：

Let's begin/get going,shall we?

Shall we start?

二、揭示讨论要点

1.Let me bring your attention to(what I see as)the main issues.

2.Let's focus on the main issues.

3.Let me tell you what I believe to be the main issues.

4.Allow me to set out the main issues for you.

bring one's attention to...的意思是"让某人注意(听、看)……"。此句中的bring可用call代替;main为"主要的";issue是"争论点;关键;议论"。这句话是表示自己要宣布几个重要事项，请与会者注意所要说明及提示的要点;这是正式的表达用语，语气中带有感。

三、请专人发言

1.To address this issue,I'd like to call on...

2.To discuss this matter,I'd like to call on...

3.To shed some light on this,I'd like to call on...

4.To provide us with more detail,I'd like to call on...

Address为"提及;陈述";call on someone这个词组的意思是"要求某人(做某事)"，on之后的宾语为被要求的人。此句型是在正式的场合中用以介绍下一位发言人。由于句首使用To address this issue"谈起这个问题"，显示特别强调这位发言者的意见值得采纳、尊重或听取;有时亦暗示或高阶人士也同样支持此人的意见。
