大家好:Greetings to you all
这是比较庄重的说法,相较于,Hi、Hello everyone要正式得多,可以做积累。
会议:session
会议有很多种说法,比如meeting,conference,session等,这里选择用session:
剑桥词典中,对session的解释(以下斜体均出自剑桥英英词典):a formal meeting or series of meetings of an organization such as a parliament or a law court.

如何战胜疫情: How to beat the pandemic
战胜这里用的是beat,而非defeat; Triumph over; vanquish; 原因是:
Beat:to defeat or do better than
Defeat:to win against someone in a fight, war, or competition: 需要有someone这个对象
Triumph:a very great success, achievement, or victory (= when you win a war, fight, or competition), or a feeling of great satisfaction or pleasure caused by this 大获全胜的意思,是战胜之后的愉悦感
Vanquish:to defeat an enemy or opponent, especially in war: 尤其指战争中击败敌人

momentum:the force that keeps an object moving:

propose: to offer or suggest a possible plan or action for other people to consider: propose 更多的是强调可行性的计划或行动,因此提出议案、计划、方案之类的用propose
