1.SixGoldenRulesforMeetingManagement
If you are asked to（逸请...参加....）chair a meeting,remember the following six golden rules for meeting management. 如果要求你主持一个会议，记住以下有关主持会议的六大准则。
1.Always start the meeting on time（按时，准时；按时付款）.If you begin on time,group members who show up（到场） late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time reflects skill as an effective time manager and sets a precedent(先例; 前例;)for others to follow. 1.总要准时开会。
如果你准时开始，晚到的与会者意识到时间的价值。
准时开始反应了一位善于掌握时间的人的技 巧，也给其他人树立了榜样。
2.Assign（指定-人，安排）a note-taker or arrange to(安排）have the meeting audiotaped.You may need to refer back to(回 忆、提及)an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date（在以后的日期）.Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well（同样、也）. 2.安排一位会议记录或给会议录音。
日后你可能需要参考会议中商讨的某个问题，做好记录也是优秀会议主持人的 一个特点。
3.Learn to listen.So many times we think about what we are going to say and, in the process（在这个过程中、因此），block out（封闭、阻碍）valid points（有效点、合理论点）that other group members may be contributing.Additionally（此 外、再有），we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listening to other people. Meeting that are characterized by（以...为特征、具有...的特性）effective listening are successful meetings. 3.学会倾听。
常见的是，我们想的是我们将要说些什么，因此就妨碍了听取别的与会者说出的合理论点。
再有，我 们经常只听我们想要听的，而不是真正地倾听他人的意见。
能有效倾听意见的会议是成功的会议。
4.Keep the discussion on track. Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If you anticipate a conflict（矛盾、冲突）prior to the meeting,discuss the issue with participants in advance（预先、提前）.If an unanticipated（意料之外）conflict develops once the meeting is in progress （正在进行、在发展中），either appoint a submittee to look into（调查、观察）the problem,orask participants involved in （包含、涉及）the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize（尽可能少、最小化）the chances ofwasting participants'valuable time. 4.让讨论紧扣主题。
往往许多重大问题在会议上容易离题，特别是当每位与会者对问题意见不同时。
如果会前你已 预料到会有冲突发生，那就提前与当事人交换一下意见。
如果会议期间有未曾预料到的冲突发生，委派一个小组委 员会对出现的问题予以调查，或者请卷入冲突的人员会后与你再谈。
这样能够让讨论紧扣主题，并尽可能少浪费与 会者的宝贵时间。
5.Give everyone an opportunity to be heard.Some people tend to（容易）monopolize（占用）meetings,whereas（然而、 反之）others wait to be asked their opinions.As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels wele to contribute and express ideas without criticism（批比评） 5.给每位与会者说出自己看法的机会。
有些人易于滔滔不绝占据会议的大部分时间，而有些人则等着...
