\nQuick Answer (\u5feb\u901f\u89e3\u7b54):<\/strong> \u6703\u8b70\u82f1\u6587 (meeting English) breaks down into five stages \u2014 opening, presenting opinions, handling disagreement, chairing, and closing with action items. Master a small set of fixed phrases for each stage (for example “Shall we get started?”<\/em> to open and “Let’s move on to the next point”<\/em> to keep things on track) and you can run or join an English meeting with confidence, even if your grammar is not perfect. Fluency in meetings is about knowing the right phrase at the right moment, not about big vocabulary.\n<\/div>\n

\"Business<\/p>\n

Most meeting anxiety comes from not knowing the fixed phrases \u2014 not from weak grammar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Executives spend an average of 23 hours a week in meetings, according to research published in the Harvard Business Review<\/a>. For a Taiwanese professional working with an international team, a large slice of those hours now happens in English \u2014 and that is exactly where confidence tends to collapse. You know the vocabulary. You wrote the report. But when the call starts and someone says “Let’s kick things off,” the right words vanish. The fix is not more grammar study. It is a ready-made bank of \u6703\u8b70\u82f1\u6587 phrases you can pull out on autopilot, which is what this guide gives you.<\/p>\n

\u6703\u8b70\u82f1\u6587\u901f\u67e5\uff1a\u4e00\u5834\u82f1\u6587\u6703\u8b70\u7684 5 \u500b\u968e\u6bb5 (The 5 Stages of Meeting English)<\/h2>\n

Almost every meeting, from a two-person check-in to a formal board review, follows the same arc. Learn the arc and you always know roughly what comes next \u2014 and which phrases fit. Here is the map of \u6703\u8b70\u82f1\u6587 you will use again and again:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Opening (\u958b\u5834):<\/strong> greeting, small talk, stating the purpose and agenda.<\/li>\n
  • Discussing (\u8a0e\u8ad6):<\/strong> giving opinions, agreeing, disagreeing politely.<\/li>\n
  • Managing (\u7ba1\u7406):<\/strong> interrupting, asking for clarification, keeping order.<\/li>\n
  • Chairing (\u4e3b\u6301):<\/strong> moving through the agenda, inviting people to speak, managing time.<\/li>\n
  • Closing (\u7d50\u675f):<\/strong> summarising decisions, assigning action items, ending on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You do not need dozens of phrases for each stage. Three or four reliable ones per stage \u2014 the kind you can say without thinking \u2014 will carry you through 90% of real meetings. The sections below give you those phrases, grouped by stage, with the Chinese meaning so nothing gets lost.<\/p>\n

    \"Group<\/p>\n

    Before the phrases, get the labels right. Taiwanese speakers often call every work gathering a “meeting,” but English uses different words depending on size and purpose. Using the precise term is a small detail that instantly sounds more professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A quick rule of thumb: if you are unsure, “meeting” is always safe. Save “conference” for the big annual events and you will never sound off.<\/p>\n

    \"Presenter<\/p>\n

    The first two minutes set the tone. A good English \u6703\u8b70\u82f1\u6587 opening does three things: welcomes people, states why you are all there, and previews the agenda. Here are the phrases that do the job cleanly.<\/p>\n

    Welcoming and starting (\u958b\u5834\u8207\u554f\u5019):<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • “Thanks everyone for joining. Shall we get started?” \u2014 \u8b1d\u8b1d\u5927\u5bb6\u53c3\u52a0\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u958b\u59cb\u5427\uff1f<\/li>\n
    • “Let’s kick things off.” \u2014 \u6211\u5011\u958b\u59cb\u5427\u3002(informal)<\/li>\n
    • “Now that everyone’s here, let’s begin.” \u2014 \u5927\u5bb6\u90fd\u5230\u9f4a\u4e86\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u958b\u59cb\u3002<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Stating the purpose and agenda (\u8aaa\u660e\u76ee\u7684\u8207\u8b70\u7a0b):<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • “The purpose of today’s meeting is to\u2026” \u2014 \u4eca\u5929\u6703\u8b70\u7684\u76ee\u7684\u662f\u2026<\/li>\n
      • “There are three items on the agenda.” \u2014 \u8b70\u7a0b\u4e0a\u6709\u4e09\u500b\u9805\u76ee\u3002<\/li>\n
      • “We have about 30 minutes, so let’s keep it focused.” \u2014 \u6211\u5011\u5927\u7d04\u6709 30 \u5206\u9418\uff0c\u6240\u4ee5\u8acb\u4fdd\u6301\u5c08\u6ce8\u3002<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        If you are joining rather than leading, a simple “Good to see everyone” plus a short piece of small talk is enough. Notice the video below from Oxford Online English shows how native speakers handle these openings \u2014 the phrasing is remarkably fixed, which is good news for learners.<\/p>\n
