●　 問(wèn)候大家
1. Good morning everyone.
2. Welcome everyone.
3. I'd like to welcome each of you to this morning's meeting.與會(huì)者到齊之后，主持人（最先發(fā)言者）應(yīng)向大家問(wèn)候一聲。"welcome"、"good morning"都是實(shí)用的問(wèn)候語(yǔ)。

●　 宣布會(huì)議開(kāi)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.

問(wèn)候與會(huì)者之后，應(yīng)立即宣布會(huì)議開(kāi)始。"call to order"是正式場(chǎng)合中‘宣布會(huì)議開(kāi)始'的慣用詞，有引起注意的作用。

●　 宣讀議程
1. According to the agenda, the order of business is as follows:
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:

此段的關(guān)鍵在于根據(jù)議程，宣布今天開(kāi)會(huì)討論的事項(xiàng)及其次序。"according to"或"referring to"意思是‘根據(jù)...，參照...'，指出討論的事項(xiàng)是以什么作根據(jù)。

●　 請(qǐng)演說(shuō)者上臺(tái)

2. Ms. Teng, would you like to begin with the minutes from the last quarterly meeting?

宣布預(yù)定的議程之后，禮貌上應(yīng)該問(wèn)大家有無(wú)其它問(wèn)題。若沒(méi)有，你便請(qǐng)下一個(gè)程序的負(fù)責(zé)人開(kāi)始，算是交出‘話棒'。請(qǐng)他人做事時(shí)，"will you please..."是個(gè)客氣的說(shuō)法；若要更客氣，則可以用"would you please..."。
