句型总结
● 问候大家
1. Good morning everyone.
2. Welcome everyone.
3. I'd like to welcome each of you to this morning's meeting.与会者到齐之后,主持人(最先发言者)应向大家问候一声。"welcome"、"good morning"都是实用的问候语。
● 宣布会议开始
1. The meeting is now called to order.
2. I'd like to call this meeting to order.
3. We will now call the meeting to order.
问候与会者之后,应立即宣布会议开始。"call to order"是正式场合中‘宣布会议开始'的惯用词,有引起注意的作用。
● 宣读议程

2. Referring to the agenda, the order of business is as follows:
3. As the agenda lists, the meeting's order of business is as follows:
此段的关键在于根据议程,宣布今天开会讨论的事项及其次序。"according to"或"referring to"意思是‘根据...,参照...',指出讨论的事项是以什么作根据。
● 请演说者上台

2. Ms. Teng, would you like to begin with the minutes from the last quarterly meeting?
3. Let's begin with Ms. Teng. Will you please read the minutes from the last quarterly meeting?
宣布预定的议程之后,礼貌上应该问大家有无其它问题。若没有,你便请下一个程序的负责人开始,算是交出‘话棒'。请他人做事时,"will you please..."是个客气的说法;若要更客气,则可以用"would you please..."。
