　　為了幫助記憶這些詞組，嘗試用上這些詞組，寫一篇會議介紹。想象你和同事在日常的會議上。你能用上哪些表達呢?

　　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。

　　我們之前討論過如何開始會議，那么如何結束呢?會議不可能一直開下去。所以，知道如何結尾十分重要。以下是幫助你及時結束會議的一些詞組。

　　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。

　　這一表達通常用來表示會議結束，和結束某事，經常附有簡短的總結。“Wrap up”不太正式，但可以在辦公場合下使用。

　　E.g. “It’s 1pm so let’s wrap up this meeting and I’ll see you all again next week。”

　　例句：已經下午1點了，所以會議結束。下周再見。

　　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“總結”，但在口語中更為自然。如果你想要總結會議的要點，可以用這個表達。

　　E.g. “Let’s sum up – we can deliver the goods you need on Thursday and you will pay in installments over the next 6 weeks。”

　　例句：總結起來——我們可以在周四把你們需要的貨物運過來。你們需要在之后6周內分期付款。

　　To recap

　　This is useful if you want to remind the attendees of any points you have covered in the current or previous meeting。

　　如果你想要提醒與會人員你在現在或是之前的會議上提及的要點，這個詞組很有用。

　　E.g. “So, to recap, when were those items due?”

　　例句：所以，簡要重述一下，這些項目截止時間是什么時候?

　　NOTE: we can also use this as a noun。

　　注意：也可以作為名詞使用。

　　E.g. “Can you give me a recap of the points we covered last week?”

　　例句：你可以簡要重述一下我們上周提及的要點嗎?

　　Action points / next actions

　　These are the things that the attendees should do after the meeting, and are usually written in the minutes of the meeting。

　　這些是到會者在會議之后要做的事。經常在會議上會被記錄下來。

　　We usually use the verb ‘to set’ when talking about action points or next actions。

　　說到行動要點或者下一步行動，我們經常用動詞“to set”

　　E.g. “Let’s set some action points. Sam, can you make sure the payments have come through? Sally, can you make sure the goods are ready for delivery?”

　　例句：我們來制定一下行動要點。山姆，你能確保付款已經到達了嗎?莎莉，你能確保已經準備好運送貨物了嗎?

　　To look forward to / to be looking forward to

　　We use this expression to talk about things in the future that we are excited about. It’s a nice expression to show you are interested in working with someone. We usually follow it with a gerund (+ing)。

　　談論未來讓我們興奮的事情的時候，用這個詞組。它可以很好地表現出你對于和某人工作很有興趣。之后跟動名詞ing形式。

　　E.g. “I’m looking forward to working with you on this project。”

　　例句：我很期待和你在這個項目上一起工作。
