第二课会议议程和会议纪要

        即使你的目标是成为一个工程技术翻译，但是你在今后工作中势必要为一些会议做翻译，会议结束后一件很重要的任务就是要做双语会议纪要（minutes of meeting 或meeting minutes），那么英文部分可能是你责无旁贷的后续任务。另外，你可能会接到翻译公司（或直接客户）需要你翻译会议纪要的笔译任务。为此，你需要了解会议的议程，以便更好地与客户沟通，从而利于高质量地完成会议口译。同时，你也需要了解会议纪要的基本结构和结构化句式的典型翻译方法，从而使你翻译的会议纪要更加地道，意思表达更加准确，可读性更强。（注：由于工作量的原因，大部分内容没有对应译文，课堂上直接口译，这里直接录入英文，有兴趣的朋友可以尝试翻译一下）。
