这是有关开始会议和引导会议两节商务播客中的第一节。在这节中，我们来看下如何开始会议。在第二节看中，来看下如何引导会议。
The listening takes place in the Singapore offices of Daneline, an international
shipping1 company. Martin, the GM, is chairing a meeting with Sandra, David and Sam to discuss a budget shortfall. Shortfall means their budget has fallen short of expectations. In other words, they don’t have enough money, so they need to make some cuts. To chair a meeting is to lead the meeting. We can say that Martin is the chairperson. So in these two episodes on opening and managing meetings, you’ll be learning language for chairing meetings.
