會議結束時的用法

在還沒有學習這一個章節之前，要結束會議我可能會說「Thank you for join this meeting」，這種用法經由書籍來看，似乎不是一個很好的用法。
事實上，要結束一個會議 biz 在 2/2 中的教材建議可以使用下面例句 (1 ~ 4)：

1. Why don't we call it a day. 今天就到此為止吧。
2. If there are not other comments, we'll wrap this meeting up ( or wrap up this meeting). 如果沒有其它意見，我們就結束會議吧。
3. Let's bring this to a close for today. 今天就到這兒吧。
4. The meeting is finished; we'll meet again next Wednesday. 會議結束；下週三我們再開會
5. I guess that will be all for today.

例句中的 wrap this meeting up，實際上是利用 wrap up 「結束」這一個片語來說明此會議結束，所以我們也可以說：

• Anybody got anything else that they desperately want to raise before we wrap up?
• It's time to wrap up. 該結束會議了
• If no one has anything else to add, then I think we'll wrap this up.

開會的時間快結束了，已經沒有太多的時間可以討論了，我們可以說：

• It looks like we've run out of time, so I guess we'll finish here.

而在結束前，也可以問問其它人有沒有其它的意見，如下：

• Okay - any other business? 還有其它事情嗎？
• Right, I think that's probably about it. 好了，我想就大概是這些吧。

而主席 ( chairperson) 在問有沒有其它問題時，你也可以說：

• I would like to say something...

因為會議的時間不夠，須得再安排其它會議時間，我們可以說：

• We'll meet again on the first of next month.

當然在會議結束後，也提醒與會者別忘了簽名：

• Oh, before you leave, please make sure to sign the attendance sheet.

等一下下，離開前也別忘了投下您神聖的一票哦！

• Don't forget to put your ballot in the box on your way out.

什麼！這個會議有人提供餐點，這個時候可別忘了謝謝提供餐點的人

• Before I let you go let's all give a big thank you (everyone claps) to Thomas for baking these delicious cookies.

會議裡的椅子請歸還到其它會議室，我會非常的感謝的！還有，記得垃圾別忘了帶走

• If you could all return your chair to Room 7 that would be appreciated.
• Please take all of your papers with you and throw out any garbage on your way out.

最後，當然是要感謝大家的參與啦~~~

• Thank You's and Congratulations
• Again, I want to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here today.
