会议安排

 

Meeting Arrangement

 

A: Jane, we’re going to have a board meeting next Friday. Will you please arrange it for me?

 

A：简，下星期五准备举行一次董事会。请你帮我安排一下好吗？

 

 

B: Certainly, Mr. White, but can I have your plan?

 

B：当然可以了，怀特先生，不过我能知道您的计划吗？

 

 

A: Sure. Actually, it’s a routine board meeting. The things to be discussed are all written here.

 

A：可以。实际上这是一次例会。要讨论的事都写在这里了。

 

 

B: Very good. May I keep it? I need it to draw up a notice of the meeting and the agenda.

 

B：很好。可以给我吗？我草拟会议通知和会议日程时要用。

 

 

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

 

A：拿去吧，这是给你作参考的。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空白供我做标注。

 

 

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

 

B：您是说，您自己需要一个更详细的日程？

 

 

A: Exactly. As I’m supposed to the chair of the meeting, I don’t want it to get out of control.

 

A：是的。因为我主持会议，我不希望会议失去控制。

 

 

B: I see. OK, then, where do you think we’ll have the meeting?

 

B：明白了。好的，那么，您看我们在哪儿开会？

 

 

A: The conference room on the second floor, is that okay?

 

A：二楼的会议室，行吗？

 

 

B: Yes. I’ll see that the room’s ready by Friday. And I’ll check there are enough chairs, and the lighting and air-conditioning are all right.

 

B：行。到星期五那天我一定把会议室准备好。而且会检查椅子是否足够，以及照明和空调是不是都没有问题。

 

 

A: Good. And please get some water, glasses and ash tray ready as well.

 

A：好的。另外也请准备好水、杯子和烟灰缸。

 

 

B: Sure, I will. What about the minutes? Do you think I’m responsible for that too?

 

B：当然，我会准备的。会议记录怎么办？您觉得也要我负责吗？

 

 

A: Definitely. The minutes have to be taken accurately.

 

A：那是肯定的。会议记录必须记准确。

 

 

B: But I’m not familiar with the members of the board.

 

B：可是我不太熟悉董事会的成员。

 

 

A: Oh, that’s easy. I’ll write you a list of their names. You can make a seating plan with the names and give each one a number.

 

A：哦，这事容易。我给你写一份他们的名单。你用这些姓名做一个座次表，并给每个编上号。

 

 

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

 

B：这个主意不错。那好，如果您不介意，我要回去着手准备了。
