【实用英语口语】怎样用商务英语结束会议 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。 　　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：总结起来——我们可以在周四把你们需要的货物运过来。你们需要在之后6周内分期付款。 好消息！好消息！线话英语为了满足更多用户的需求，也为了感谢大家对线话英语教育的支持和肯定，我们准备了一系列的优惠活动等着大家来领取。还在纠结选哪家英语培训学校的大家我们特此准备了一键注册线话英语网站，立即就能获得体验试听课。会机难得不容错过，还有更多优惠活动即将推出。敬请关注线话英语官方网站。 　　To recap 　　This is useful if you want to remind the attendees of any points you have covered in the current or previous meeting. 　　如果你想要提醒与会人员你在现在或是之前的会议上提及的要点，这个词组很有用。 　　E.g. “So, to recap, when were those items due?” 　　例句：所以，简要重述一下，这些项目截止时间是什么时候? 　　NOTE: we can also use this as a noun. 　　注意：也可以作为名词使用。 　　E.g. “Can you give me a recap of the points we covered last week?” 　　例句：你可以简要重述一下我们上周提及的要点吗? 　　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. 　　这些是到会者在会议之后要做的事。经常在会议上会被记录下来。 　　We usually use the verb ‘to set’ when talking about action points or next actions. 　　说到行动要点或者下一步行动，我们经常用动词“to set” 　　E.g. “Let
