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.

            makes or seconds the motion to adjourn¹.
