☆ announcement　発表

============================

This is the perfect word for getting people’s attention when you
have something you need to say: clear your throat and in a louder
voice than usual, say, “I’d like to make an announcement.” This will
always get people’s attention! So of course, you must be sure
that you have something important to say. 🙂

Also, this word is often used at the beginning of meetings. Here are
Some examples:
First, let me run through the announcements.
Are there any other announcements?
Would anyone like to make an announcement before we start?

Can you think of any other ways to use this word?

Bye,
Chris

何か言いたいことを伝えるために人の注意を引く時には、今日の言葉はぴったりです。
咳払いをし、いつもよりも大きい声で、
“I’d like to make an announcement (発表があります)”
と言いましょう。このフレーズは、必ず人の注目を集めます。
もちろん、こう言った時には、何か重要な発表をしてくださいね。

また、会議の冒頭でもよく使われる言葉です。
例を挙げてみましょう：

First, let me run through the announcements.
(まず、発表することを一通りお伝えします)

Are there any other announcements?
(他に発表はありますか？)

Would anyone like to make an announcement before we start?
(はじめる前に、何か発表はありますか？)

他の使い方もありますか？

それでは！
