字義:A small hammer used by a person in charge of a meeting or an auction, or by a judge in a court of law, in order to get people's attention.
會議主席、拍賣商或法官用的小槌
A gavel is a respected tool in a MUN conference. The little hammer, either made of vintage wood or modern plastic, has the greatest say in the conference. It is used by the Chair to call for order and make announcements. One of the most exciting moments of a conference is when the Chair officially announces the floor open or closed with a solemn bang.
Many conferences give the gavel used in a committee to the delegate recognized by the dais as the best in that committee; therefore, the term is frequently used to refer to the award given to the best delegate, even in cases where no actual gavel is given.
主席槌是模聯會議中相當敬重的物品。不論是傳統木製的或現代塑膠製成，主席槌的地位都是凌駕全場的。主席控制場面秩序和宣布消息時，都會伴隨使用主席槌。而模聯會議最令人期待一刻便是會議正式開始即結束時聽到的那一聲莊嚴的槌擊。
此外，各地眾多模聯會議中，許多會致贈偉員會中使用的槌子給表現最傑出的代表。因此即使並沒有真的贈送槌子，gavel一詞仍常用來指稱最佳代表的榮譽。
例句:
A chair orders the debating delegates to be silent, while banging a gavel.
主席敲下主席槌，要求代表們肅靜。
The gravel is a symbol of the authority and right to act officially in the capacity of a chair or presiding officer.
主席槌象徵著會議主席或代理主席的權威。
