 会议商务英语对话(一)
M: Please let me see the draft of what you have put together for Monday's meeting.
F: I'm still working on the agenda, there will be a lot to go over on Monday. Here's what I'vegot so far.
M: Do you think we will spend more than twenty minutes in the opening? I think it should bepretty simple.
F: It shouldn't take too long, but there will be a lot of dignitaries at the meeting. In theopening exercises, it is protocol to spend a little time to recoginise them. I reckon it shouldtake about half an hour before we can even get to the minutes.
M: Really? Well, at least the minutes shouldn't take too long to review. There shouldn't be a lotof active business left over from last meeting.
F: True. After review and acceptance of the minutes, we have mittee reports. Oldbusiness won't take up too much time, but sometimes mittee delegates can be a littleverbose… Is there where we can limit their time?
M: We can set a five minute report time with a three minute question and answer afterwards.
F: That's not good. Q&A always stretch out the time, because people usually get stuck onsome irrelevent point, we'll lose control of the meeting if we open it up to questions too early.
M: True. Well, imposing an eight minute limit on mittee reports then, we'll saveQ&A until right before close
