把控会议时间 控制节奏1
【对话】
W: I call this meeting to order. Thank you all for your attendance today. I know it's a busy day for you all. We have a lot of materials to cover today. Did everyone get an agenda?
W: 现在，我宣布开会。感谢大家今天出席会议。我知道诸位今天的日程排的很近，我们有许多文件要处理。大家都拿到议程安排了吗？
L: I need a copy of the agenda. Also, may I suggest something? I know we have many points to review today, but would it be possible to limit our meeting time to finish before 4 o'clock? Many of us still have a mountain of work to do before the day's end.

L: 我要一份。另外，我能提点意见吗？我知道今天我们有很多东西要讨论，但有没有可能把会议时间限制在4点以前结束？我们很多人今天还有一大堆其他工作要完成。
W: We should be able to finish everything up before then. Let's run through the major points first and see where we're at. The first matter of business is to approve the minutes of our last meeting.
W: 我们应该能在4点之前结束一切。让我们先浏览一下要点，看看我们谈到哪了。第一件事就是要通过我们上次会议的会议记录。
