10月26日，央视主持人大赛时隔八年回归，不仅一开播就夺下收视第一，相关话题更是连登九个微博热搜，引爆关注与热议。其中获得首场比赛新闻类第一名的邹韵凭借落落大方的谈吐、广袤的国际视野，吸引了众多人的目光。回顾详情可查看：“热议 | 邹韵：没能实现同传的梦想 却成为了传播中国声音的央视主持！”

邹韵有着近9年的工作经验，其中，在近四年的驻外报道工作里康辉与邹韵经常同框，作为CCTV北美分台记者的邹韵为我们掀开了驻外记者工作的冰山一角。

作为译员，在一些活动上有时我们也需要同时担任主持人和口译员两种身份，所以下面我们就来看下作为会议主持，需要掌握哪些必备的英语吧。

不过在进入正题前，我想先给大家科普一个小知识，因为很多人一说到主持人就只想到Host，但英文里表示“主持人”的单词也是有所不同的，为了不混淆，下面我们先来快速地看一下~

"Anchor"主要指在无线电节目或者广播节目里的主持人，一般多用于在现场直播中或者电视节目中担任主持的人，也可以作为动词，表示主持节目。

He anchored the evening news.

他主持过晚间新闻。

"commentator"在英语中指在电视节目中进行新闻报道或者讨论新闻的人，也指在现场活动中提供评论的人，也就是评论员或解说员。

A commentator is a person who comments or expresses an opinion on a subject.

评论员是指对某一主题发表评论或表达意见的人。

不同于电视节目的主持，"host"多用于主持某种活动的时候，具有主动去做的意思。除此之外，该词还可以做名词，表示主人。

He hosted a reception for new members.

他主持了一次新成员欢迎会。

在翻译场合中，开会可真的是家常便饭了，那么，如何用英语主持一场会议呢？

Closing the Meeting

1）宣布会议开始

1. Let's call the meeting to order.
2. Let's get things underway.
3. Let's get things started.

Order 在此是指“会议的程序与规则”；call 有“宣布”的含意，call (a meeting) to order 是开会时的惯用语，是“会议开始”的意思。

此句型适用于主席宣布讨论要开始时，示意与会者安静，遵守会场的秩序。这里“call”亦可以“bring”代替。这个句型适用于正式的场合中。

如果与会者中有公司以外的人，可以这样说：

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we should begin.

也可以采用半正式的说法：

Perhaps we'd better get started / down to business.
All right, I think it's about time we get started / going.
Right then, I think we should begin.

较口语的说法有：
1. Let's begin /get going, shall we?
2. Shall we start?

Good morning/afternoon, everyone.

If we are all here, let's get started / start the meeting / start.
