46. The Annual Business Meeting 年度的业务会议

A: How did the meeting turn out last night, Bill?
B: Oh, we elected officers for next year. You should've been there to cast your vote.
A: Who was elected president?
B: Allen Jones. Three other people were nominated, but he won out.
A: That's too bad. I don't think he'll make a really good president.
B: Well, he has one thing in his favor. He's the one who always makes or seconds the motion to adjourn.

A：比尔，昨晚会议结果怎样？
B：哦，我们选出了明年任职的官员。你应该来出席投票的。
A：谁当选为会长？
B：艾伦.琼斯。还有三个人被提名，但他获胜了。
A：这太糟了。我不认为他是一个十分优秀的会长。
B：不过，他有一个优越之处。他总能提出或支持一项休会的建议。
