商务英语/ 用英语开会主持会议Starting & Controlling a meetingSandoz国际公司考虑开发中南美洲的奶粉市场。

Grace涂是Sandoz的总经理，主持今日的讨论会议。

身为主席的她，目的是要鼓励每位与会者有机会发言，说出自己的想法。

群体的脑力激荡贵在集思广益，而不是要尽快得到结论，所以每项方案皆应作多种角度的讨论。

英文正文Grace: OK, let's call the meeting to order. You've all looked at the reports given to you a few days ago. I've asked Sam, as marketing director, to lay out the main points of the agenda today. Sam?Sam: Thanks Grace. Well, let me bring your attention to what I see as the main issues. First are the laws in Central and South America. Will they make it hard for us to do business there? Second is how to sell in that market. Should we try to sell by ourselves? Or should we get people there to sell for us? Yes, Grace? Grace: As you know, we've asked a law expert to come today. He isn't here yet, so I think we should get the show started with the second issue, how to sell in that market.Sam: Good idea. Does everyone agree? Good. The main problem in the market is poor health conditions. We all know what happened to Nests when they sold their powdered milk in Africa. And we don't want that to happen to us. To address this issue, I'd like to call upon our medical expert, Dr. Vincent Davis, to take the floor. Vincent?Vincent: In Africa, people had very little clean water. So they put dirty water in with the powder. Many people got sick, and Nests got in trouble because of it.Grace: Can we find a way to prevent this? Isn't it also very hard to find clean water in Central and South America?中文翻译Grace: 好，现在会议正式开始。
