宣布會議開始
1. Let's call the meeting to order.
2. Let's get things under way.
3. Let's get things started.
4. Shall we begin?
Order 在此是指"會議的程序與規則"；call 有"宣布"的含意，call (a meeting) to order 是開會時的慣用語，是"會議開始"的意思。此句型適用于主席宣布討論要開始時，示意與會者安靜，遵守會場的秩序。這里"call"亦可以"bring"代替。這個句型適用于正式的場合中。
如果與會者中有公司以外的人，可以這樣說：
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we should begin.
也可以采用半正式的說法：
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.
較口語的說法有：
Let's begin /get going, shall we?
Shall we start?
