[1]你的公司要組織一個會議,需要邀請外面的人來參加,這跟邀請用英文該怎麼寫呢?下面就提醒大家幾點寫作邀請要注意的事項。
1.E-mail邀請的寫作注意事項
在主題行寫清會議名稱、地點和時間,例如:
Subject:Sales Meeting Beijing 11 July 2007;
在稱呼後直接點明召開會議的原由,例如:
We need to finalize the next product launch.
提出會議召開時間的建議,例如:
We should have a meeting before the Shanghai fair in July. How about June 21?
給對方一個選擇時間的機會,例如:
If the date mentioned isn’t possible for you, please Suggest an alternative in that week.
2.電話邀請的注意事項
在打電話之前要充分準備,不僅要交代清楚會議的時間、地點和目的,還要考慮好禮節性問候和一些寒暄,最好用英語寫下筆記。
詢問對方是否有意開會,例如:
Could we schedule a time to meet next week?
建議會議時間,例如:
How about sometime after lunch?
確認開會日期和時間,例如:
See you on Monday at 7.
[2]收到會議邀請,如何表示接受或者拒絕呢?下面就給您提供一些實用的表達。
電話裏接受或拒絕邀請
接受會議安排, 例如:
Sure, no problem. Shall we say Thursday at ten?
拒絕會議安排,例如:
I’m afraid I have another appointment then.
談話結束前再次確認時間,例如:
Right, so we’ll meet Friday at ten, then, at your office.
透過郵件接受或拒絕邀請
不管您對此會議拒絕還是接受,都應在開頭表示謝意,例如:
Thank you for the email.
如果拒絕參加一定要講明理由,最好給一個折中的做法,例如:
Thank for the invitation, but I’m afraid I won’t be in on Friday. However my colleague Li will stand in for me.
[3]確定要開會,在開會前應該將會議日程透過郵件或傳真發給與會者。一般日程的格式如下:
Agenda for budget meeting
July 1, 09.30-11.30, room A30
ome/Apologies
tes of last meeting
entation of financial situation(CFO)-20min.
et presentations(heads)-10min. each
osals – 30min.
(any other business)
[4]會議開始時通常安排自我介紹。參加商務會議不要介紹自己的私人生活,而要從以下幾個方面考慮:姓名、職務、工作背景、您對會議的.期望、您認爲比較有趣的一件小事等。
例如:
Good evening. I am Li Ming, software developer and principal programmer for the ABC project. The major focus of my work has been to develop a software package with great versatility but which also has a convenient user interface. Tonight, I would like to introduce you some of the major features of this new software.
[5]爲了使會議有效進行,應在短暫的寒暄之後馬上進入正題。
如果是公司內部會議,可以說:
OK, everybody, we seem to be complete. Can we get started?
[6]與會者都該發言,那麼如何表述你的觀點和意見呢?下面這些常用句型可以給您幫點忙。
表示原因的用語,例如:

預計結果用語,例如:
