商务英语文章原文

下面的文章是摘录的整理的，附原文信息在文末。 一、下文主要说明我们平时开会的时候要注意设定目标和时间限定，高效开会。 Whether you are holding a meeting or attending a meeting, it is imporant that you understand key English phrases(短语) and expressions related to meetings. A successful meeting has no surprises(意外). With proper preparation and careful organization, a meeting can run smoothly(顺利地). The most typical complaint about meetings is that they run too long. Meetings that run longer than necessary can be very costly to a company or business. As the famous business expression says:  Time is money . Setting goals and time limits, keeping to the agenda(议程), and knowing how to refocus, are key components(组件) of an effective meeting. This may sound simple in your own native language, but it is a little trickier(苦难) when you or the participants do not speak fluent English.
