    正式会议的程序 Formal Meeting Procedure

    会议的类型五花八门。但是,正式的会议(formal meeting)是在主席的(chairman)主持下进行的。主持引导正式会议的大部分用词都是公式化的(stylized),也就是说,一样的话被用在所有的情景之中。当然,也分正式(formality)的程度。

    实景对话1

    A:Ladies and gentlemen, I declare this meeting to be open. Let's get down to business, shall we?Would someone please move that the minutes of the last meeting be accepted?

    B:I so move that the minutes from the last meeting be accepted.

    A:Any seconds?

    C:I second the motion.

    A:Great. Has everyone received a copy of the agenda?The first item up for discussion is to review the financial reports. The purpose of today's meeting is to complete the necessary preparations for the company audit.The first problem we should look at is our approved budget for the fiscal year.

    B:Excuse me, Madam Chairman, may I say something please?

    A:Mr. Williams, you have the floor.

    B:Thank you. The approved budget for this fiscal year has already been extensively reviewed by all members of the Finance Department and has also received approval from our executive board. In my opinion, it is not necessary to spend much time reviewing them again at this meeting.

    A:Your comments are duly noted. Does anyone else have anything further to add?

    C:I move that the budget review item be struck from the agenda.

    A:Mr.Carlson moves the agenda be revised, any second?

    D:I'll second the motion.

    A:All in favor say aye.

    (Collective“aye”)

    A:Any opposed?

    E:Nay.

    A:Mr. Simmons, you vote nay?

    E:Yes I do, Ms. Chairman.I believe it is still worth our time to review the budgets, even though they have already been reviewed.

    A:女士们先生们,我宣布本次会议开始。让我们进入正题,好吧?我们中有没有人提议接受上次会议的纪要?

    B:我提议接受上次会议的纪要。

    A:有支持的吗?

    C:我支持。

    A:好极了。每个人都拿到议程的复印件了吧?要讨论的第一项是审核财政报告。今天会议的主要目的是为公司的审计完成必要的准备工作。第一个议题是财政年度已经通过了的预算。

    B:对不起,主席女士。我能否说两句?

    A:威廉斯先生,请讲。

    B:谢谢。被批准的财政年度预算应当已经通过财务部成员的广泛审核,而且得到了董事会的认可。在我看来,这次会议上就没有必要再花那么多的时间来复审了。

    A:您的意见我们已经认识到了。其他人还有什么要补充的吗?

    C:我赞成“预算复审议项”从议程中删除。

    A:卡尔森先生主张修改议程,有支持的吗?

    D:我赞成提议。

    A:表示赞同的请说是。

    (集体“赞成”)

    A:有反对意见吗?

    E:反对。

    A:西蒙斯先生,您投反对票?

    E:是的,主席女士。即便他们审核过了,我觉得我们仍然有必要花时间复审。

    实景对话2

    A:With the Chairman's permission, I'd like to take up the point about the increase of membership dues.

    B:Ms. Learner, you have the floor.

    A:I think the increase in membership dues is unreasonable. What increase of services do we receive for the increase in payment?Nothing!

    C:That's not exactly true, Susan.

    B:Mr. Howard, you're talking out of turn.

    C:Sorry, but I just wanted to say, the increase is quite reasonable.

    B:Let Ms.Learner finish.

    A:Thank you, Mr. Chairman.As I was saying, the increase in cost does not reflect an increase in services, and so I move that we deny the increase.

    B:Mr.Howard, would you like to say something?

    C:The increase in fees is due to an increase in inflation. Members have been paying the same rate for over twenty years now!

    A:Exactly!So when you hike the rate up now, everyone will be upset!

    B:Ms. Learner, you're out of order.

    A:如果主席允许的话,我想接着谈增加会费的问题。

    B:勒纳女士,请发言。

    A:我觉得增加会费没有任何道理。多掏钱换来的增加服务体现在哪里?什么都没有!

    C:苏珊,那不太对。

    B:霍华德先生,还没有轮到您发言。

    C:对不起,我就是想说增加会费是合情合理的。

    B:我们让勒纳女士把话讲完。

    A:谢谢主席先生。正如我刚才所说的,费用的增加没有反映出任何服务的增加,所以我提议我们否定(会费)增加。

    B:霍华德先生,您有什么要说的?

    C:增加会费是因为考虑到通货膨胀。同样的费率,会员们到现在已经付了20年了!

    A:没错!那现在要是大幅提高会费的话,大家都会失望的。

    B:勒纳女士,现在不是您的发言时间。
