核心句型：
The project leader will quarterback the meeting.
項(xiàng)目領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將主持這場(chǎng)會(huì)議。
quarterback一般是用來(lái)指美式足球中的“四分衛(wèi)”，在球隊(duì)里是主力，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“主持，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"The project leader will quarterback the meeting."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"The project leader will chair the meeting."、"The meeting will be presided over by the project leader."。
情景對(duì)白：
Jane: There is a meeting at 2 o'clock. You know?
簡(jiǎn)：下午兩點(diǎn)有個(gè)會(huì)議，你知道嗎？
Shirley: Sure. The project leader will quarterback the meeting, as far as I know.
雪莉：當(dāng)然知道了，而且據(jù)我所知，項(xiàng)目領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人將主持這場(chǎng)會(huì)議。
搭配句積累：
①Wow, when will the meeting be held?
哇，那會(huì)議什么時(shí)候舉行啊？
②Then it seems the meeting is of great importance.
看來(lái)這個(gè)會(huì)議很重要啊。
③And the leader will arrive here tomorrow morning.
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人明天上午到這兒。
④I am looking forward to seeing him.
