Chairman’s Opening Remarks at a Meeting

主席开幕致辞

Gentleman:
I want to welcome you all here for the fourth annual meeting of our Asian sales staff. I know you are all busy, so I appreciate your making time in your schedules to attend today.
There are 16 participants here today. First, Mr. Carl Allen, our sales manager, will make a few remarks. He will speak about the sales projections for the coming year and the problems that some of us have had in the past year. After Mr. Allen’s remarks, the meeting will be opened for comments and discussion from the rest of you.
We hope that you will all earnestly take part in this meeting. You are all skilled and successful salesmen as shown by your records in the field. This company is growing by leaps and bounds, and the way to keep growing, and to stay ahead of the competition is to openly and freely exchange our opinions and our successful techniques, and to speak about our failures. After the meeting, we will all adjourn to the Rose Room of this hotel for a buffet dinner. Now, shall we begin?

各位先生：
欢迎你们来此，参加亚洲业务部员工第四次年会。我知道你们都很忙，所以非常感谢你们今天抽空参加。
今天有十六位与会者。首先卡尔.艾伦先生，我们的业务经理，将发表谈话。他要谈未来一年的销售计划，以及过去一年里，有些人所遭遇到的问题。在艾伦先生的谈话之后，会议将开放给其余的人批评、讨论。
希望大家都热烈参与此会。正如每一个人这方面的记录所显示，你们都训练有素且是成功的推销员。公司业务迅速成长，而保持成长及处于竞争领先地位的方法，就是开放自由地交换意见和交换成功的技巧，还有谈一谈自己失败之处。在会议之后，我们将移往饭店的玫瑰厅，享用自助晚餐。现在我们开始好吗？
