各种会议的英文说法及区别
每年，各种会议、活动就会变得非常多，像好近的中国高层领导论坛，即将开始的博鳌论坛，还有各种大大小小的会议在不同地区火热地进行着。
而会议越多说明译员的需求也越大，因为在国际会议上总少不了译员的身影。
像是去年底，马云在“广州2017财富全球论坛”上和主持人对话，当时为马云翻译的译员，就赢得了网友们的一致好评

专业的口译员会经常跟各种会议打交道，虽然在中文里大多时候都叫“会议”，但英文里的表达却各有千秋，比如有Conference,Meeting,Seminar,Session等。
由于会议的定义相当广泛所以很难清晰的区分，它意指各类聚集，有准备或无准备的，正式或非正式的，时间可长可短，规模可大可小，参加人数可多可少等等。为了明确会议种类，会议名称需要进一步划分。
