英文会议纪要

⃟General Introduction
会议有各种各样的，如：委员会会议，董事 会会议，全体员工会议等，有些是比较正式的会 议，由专人主持会议，会议中由一名懂财务或法 律的主任秘书记录讨论过的事项及决定，然后再 由其秘书根据记录整理打印成文，印发给各位与 会者及相关人员，这就是会议纪要(Minutes)。会 议纪要不必要记下发言人的每个字、每句话，只 需要概括摘要会议内容及结果。会议纪要有其特 定格式，语言和措辞也有其特点。
所发，它能将人的注意力引向信息本身，而不是注意谁 提出此建议，作出此决定等。如：
A salary cut was proposed. Mr. *** proposed a salary cut.(这种写法会遭人注意或 受到攻击，即使在会议上通过了，也是集体或多数人的 意见，记录的也只是结果。 F. 态度
措辞常常能反映人际关系。纪要中对上级、对同行 、对同事以及对下级所用的语气和态度是绝然不同的。 对上级用尊敬、对同事同行用礼貌、对下级用权威命令 式语气。这种语气差别主要体现在动词上：

一、语言与措辞
会议纪要的语言与措辞有三个特点：
1. 语气要正式； 2. 动词一般采用被动式； 3. 措辞尽量采用常用词。
词汇的选择对语气和规范程度的影响较大，其次 还有六个因素也制约你的行文规范程度，即语言缩写 、缩略、人称代词、被动语态和读者对象。
