In this blog post we’ve already considered how to get business meetings started, but what about when we need them to end? Meetings can’t go on forever so it’s important to have a way to bring them to a conclusion. Here are some phrases to help you finish your meetings on time. 我们之前讨论过如何开始会议,那么如何结束呢?会议不可能一直开下去。所以,知道如何结尾十分重要。以下是帮助你及时结束会议的一些词组。 To wrap up This is a common way to end a meeting and means to bring something to an end, often with a short summary. ‘Wrap up’ is quite an informal phrase, but it’s fine to use in office situations. 这一表达通常用来表示会议结束,和结束某事,经常附有简短的总结。“Wrap up”不太正式,但可以在办公场合下使用。 E.g. “It’s 1pm so let’s wrap up this meeting and I’ll see you all again next week.” 例句:已经下午1点了,所以会议结束。下周再见。 To sum up This literally means ‘to summarise’ but sounds more natural in spoken English. Use this expression if you want to summarise the main points of the meeting. 字面上意思是“总结”,但在口语中更为自然。如果你想要总结会议的要点,可以用这个表达。 |
