convention 大會;會議 star_border
/kənˈvɛnʃ(ə)n/ play_circle_filledConference 和 Convention 的中文翻譯都是「大會」，差別在哪裡呢？一般來說 conference 的重心會在「資訊交流」與「教育」，期間的分組會議(breakout sessions)、人脈網絡(networking)和各式各樣的娛樂(entertainment) 都是吸引與會者參與很重要的因素。而 convention 則是指持續數天、一群有相同工作或共同興趣的人參加的大型會議或是活動，例句：
We go to the weeklong annual teachers' convention every spring.
我們每年春天都會參加為期一周的年度教師大會。

來練習多益Listening Part 1 對於「景物」的描述：
Several sculptures of horses stand in front of the convention center.
會議中心前矗立著幾尊馬的雕像。
fair 商展;博覽會;公平 star_border
/fɛː/ play_circle_filledFair 當名詞時，指的是「商展、博覽會」，例如 career fair/career expo or job fair/job expo 就是「就業博覽會」，例句:

就業博覽會上會有許多《財富》世界500大公司的招聘人員。
我們也常會聽到：That is not fair! (那不公平！)，這是 fair 當作形容詞的用法，中文解釋為「公平的、公正的」，口語上也常聽到：Fair enough!，指「有道理、說得對」。
hold 握著;舉辦;支撐 star_border
/həʊld/ play_circle_filled動詞 hold 有很多中文解釋，最常見的用法就是用手「握著」或是用手臂的部分「抓住」某個東西，例如：Can you hold this mug for me? (你可以幫我拿著這個馬克杯嗎?)， 不過 hold 這個字在 TOEIC 考試比較常出現「舉辦」跟「容納」的用法，我們來看看 hold 其中一個意思「舉辦」，hold 的過去式和過去分詞是 held，用法是「人 + hold + 活動」，或用被動式「活動 + be held（+ by + 人）」，被動式尤其常見。
I think we need to hold a meeting to discuss this issue tomorrow.
我想我們明天需要舉辦一個會議來討論這個問題。

我們即將到來的兒童慈善活動將在8月14號於中央公園舉行。

The room is too small to hold so many guests.
The room is too small to accommodate so many guests.

Hold = 支撐
Hold 另外一個常見的意思是「支撐」，假如你也是影集《冰與火之歌：權力遊戲》的忠實觀眾，就知道裡面阿多(Hodor)這個角色原來就是從 Hold the door 來的，例句：
Would you mind holding the door open for me, please?
請你幫我把門撐開好嗎？

trade fair 商展;博覽會;展銷會 star_border
play_circle_filled展覽對現代人來說，幾乎是生活中不可或缺的一部分，各種的商品展、藝術展、傢俱展、科技展、建材展、旅遊展等等，你想得到的幾乎都有。英文中的 trade fair 和 trade show 大家經常混著用，因為這兩個字的中文翻譯都是商展、博覽會、展銷會，但其實當中參展的對象(exhibitors)是不同的：Trade show 是很嚴謹的 B2B(business-to-business)，只開放給一些已經了解該行業，或是企業的決策者，他們可以第一手接觸尚未正式推出的新產品和即將推出的產品。通常在 trade show 的現場是不販售產品的，參展者的主要目的是展示即將完成或已經完成的新產品，評估市場並了解可能有多少需求，甚至是尋求合作夥伴進一步擴展。 Trade fair 則是消費者取向的 B2C(Business-To-Customer)，這類型的活動通常任何人都可以參加(但還是要付門票的)。大多數展位都擠滿了產品，參展的廠商總是希望商品在活動結束時能夠全數售完。Exposition = expo 就是以上皆是 B2B+B2C 的博覽會，去博覽會的人可能是你的同業、可能是你的忠實顧客，更有機會是從來沒有聽過你家廠牌的一般民眾，因此參展者得想盡辦法在短時間內獲得最大的關注和機會，這時候展位設計(booth design)就變得相當重要了！
一起來看一些相關的單字和例句：
The company unveiled a new product at the annual trade show this week.
公司在本週的年度展銷會上推出了一款新產品。

banquet 宴席 star_border
/ˈbæŋ.kwət/ play_circle_filledBanquet 是指正式的「宴席」。每年農曆過年前，許多企業都會舉辦尾牙來犒賞員工。因為是在年尾舉行的，所以通常會用 year-end 這個形容詞，所以尾牙的英文可以用 year-end banquet 來表達。
除了 year-end 之外，我們也可以用 annual(年度的)，這個字經常在多益考試出現，也就是 annual banquet，或是更簡單的用 annual party 或 year-end party 來說 。有些企業選擇在過年後舉辦春酒(spring party)，至於「舉辦」派對、「辦」活動的動詞則是用 hold：to hold a party or to hold an event，例句：
The school holds a banquet for its faculty members at the end of the school year.
