开始会议常用表达

Could I have your attention, please. (注意： please这个词是降调，且需要重读)

如果是首次参加， 需要互相介绍， 常用表达如下：

My name is xxx, the Marketing Manager. This is xxx, from the accounts department, and she'll also be presenting today.

欢迎与会者并开始会议

Thanks for all coming, perhaps we can start.

1. 说出名字

Hi, I'm ... (当会议不那么正式时可用)

2. 介绍职位

当职位唯一时， 使用 the

I'm the project manager.

当职位不唯一时， 使用 a

I'm a developer.

如果需要描述工作所在部门，可以用 in + 所在部门表达

I work in the marketing department.

3. 介绍职责

I handle online advertising and web analytics.

发表观点

回应他人的建议

I think we should make this a priority for this week. (我觉得这个礼拜我们要优先做这件事)

2. Have to, need to 可以表达某些意见是不得不做的

We need to find a cheaper solution- our budget is very tight.

3. 表达否定意见

We shouldn't rush this, we need to think it through carefully. (此事我们不应该仓促，得好好考虑)

We don't need to hire new staff at the moment.

Good suggestion, but I can see a few problems...

I see your point, however, I think improving our website UI is a higher priority right now. 

To be honest, I'm not sure with this idea.

4. 表达同意该意见

I agree with...

That sounds good.

Let's go with this idea.
