首先，season 是季节的意思，不能用于表示季度。所以，用season 翻译季度是错误的。外国人读到这个句子，就会理解为“会议推迟到春/夏/秋/冬末。”“季度”的英语是quarter,但英美人士在用quarter 表示季度的时候，通常给出很具体的时间，比如：第一季度，the first quarter of the year; 第二季度， the second quarter of the year, 中文翻译成英文时也应该遵循这个习惯。原句的重心是会议，所以翻译成英语时应该还是“会议”做主语。 This meeting is to be postponed until the end of the first/second quarter of the year.
