我们的发言人每人都有大约 12分钟的发言时间，针对每个人的发言我们有3分钟的提问时间。如果最后还有时间，我们就能有机会进行集体讨论。
Five minutes before each talk is terminated， there will be a warning signal， a green light， which the speaker， I hope， will be able to identify， and the speaker will then continue five more minutes before a buzzer is given or a red light is show.
在每人发言时间还有5分钟的时候，绿色信号灯就会亮，我希望发言人能够注意到，并能抓紧时间在哨声响起或红信号灯亮之前结束发言。

由于时间关系我们就讨论到这儿，如果你还有其他的问题或意见，可以在会后或者是直接与 Fox 先生联系发表你的看法。

我们还有15分钟的提问时间。大部分人还坐在观众席上没有离开，我想如果哪一位想对有关今天下午这个会议的某个问题提问，我们可以利用这段时间进行。8宣告会议休息或继续Have a Break or Continue
