昂秀英语口语对话想聊就聊第9章：1.8 会议安排

M: Jane, we are going to have a board meeting next Friday. Will you please arrange it for me?
M：简，下星期五我们准备举行一次董事会，请你帮我安排一下好吗？

W: Certainly, Mr. Robert. But can I have your plan?
W：当然可以了，罗伯特先生，不过我能知道你的计划吗？

M: Sure. Actually it's a routine board meeting. The things to be discussed are all written here.
M：可以，实际上这是一次例会，要讨论的事都写在这里了。

W: Very good. May I keep it? I need it to draw up a notice of the meeting and the agenda.
W：很好，可以给我吗？我草拟会议通知和会议日程时要用。

M: Go ahead. It's for your reference. While you are at it, make me a special agenda and don't forget to have enough room at the side for notes.

M：拿去吧，这是给你作参考的。你着手写的时候给我拟一个特别日程表，而且别忘了旁边留出足够的空白供我作标注。

W: You mean you need a more detailed agenda for yourself?

W：你是说，你自己需要一个更详细的日程？

M: Exactly. As I am supposed to the chair of the meeting, I don't want it to get out of control.
M：是的，因为是我主持会议，我不希望会议失去控制。

W: I see. Ok, then where do you think we will have the meeting?
W：我明白了，那么，你看我们在哪儿开会？

M: The conference room on the second floor, is that ok?
M：二楼的会议室，行吗？

W: Yes, I will see that the room is ready by Friday. And I will check there are enough chairs, and the lighting and air-conditioning are all right.

W：行，到星期五那天我一定把会议室准备好。而且我会检查有没有足够的椅子，以及照明和空调是不是都正常。

M: Good, and please get some water, glasses and ash tray ready as well.
M：好的，另外也请把水、杯子和烟灰缸准备好。

W: Sure, I will. What about the minutes? Do you think I am responsible for that too?
W：当然，我会准备的，不过会议记录怎么办？你觉得也要我负责吗？

M: Definitely. The minutes have to be taken accurately.
M：那是肯定的，会议记录必须记准备。

W: But I am not familiar with the members of the board.
W：可是我不太熟悉董事会的成员。

M: Oh, that's easy. I will write you a list of their names. You can make a seating plan with the names and give each one a number.
M：哦，这事容易，我给你开一个名单，你可以用这些姓名做一个座次表，并给每个编上号。

W: That's a good idea. All right, I’ll withdraw and get down to it if you don't mind.

W：这个主意不错，好吧，如果你不介意，我要回去着手办了。
