今天小编为大家准备了BEC中级真题第5辑精听:Test 2-Part Three,一起来做听力练习吧!
听力原文:
I think many senior executives think it s an administrative matter that is beneath them.
我想许多高级管理人员认为这是一个不属于他们的行政问题。
So what s you suggest?
你有什么建议?
Well, for a start, it can be more sensible to think through agendas on an annual rather than an individual meeting basis so that routine issues are on the agenda for just a couple of the year s meetings rather than for every one of them.
首先,比较明智的方法是在年度会议的范围内审议议程,而不是在单独会议的范围内,因此,日常问题只会被提上几次会议的议程,而不是每一次会议的议程。
A lot of routine points are there because they are always there and people then get bogged down discussing those with the result that there isn t enough time to discuss what really needs to be talked through at this high level.
有很多常规的观点是存在的,因为它们总是存在的,然后人们陷入了对这些观点的讨论,结果没有足够的时间来讨论在这个高级别上真正需要讨论的问题。
Any other key advice you d give?
你还有其他重要的建议吗?
Well, yes, I d remind people that what happens after the meeting is of great importance too. A meeting is only as good as its follow-up.
嗯,有,我想提醒大家,会后发生的事情也很重要。会议的好坏取决于它的后续行动。
Ideally, minutes should be distributed within twenty-four hours of the meeting both to people who were at the meeting and those who were not able to attend.
理想情况下,会议记录应在会议结束后24小时内分发给出席会议和不能出席会议的人。
Otherwise people who were there won t be able to check whether the minutes represent a true and accurate version of what was said.
否则在场的人就无法核实会议记录是否真实、准确地反映了会议内容。
And they must be accurate so they can be signed off quickly at the next board meeting. Thank you.
它们必须准确无误,这样才能在下次董事会上迅速得到批准。谢谢你!
