During a MUN conference, pages(some call them "ushers") help pass messages between delegates within a committee, as well as send messages to delegates in other committees. As introduced in the previous word, delegates may ask pages to help pass notes to the dais to be put on the speaker's list. In the United Nations, this is especially helpful when a delegate in a committee wants to get information to their ambassador in the General Assembly regarding a resolution that is being sent to the Assembly for discussion.
在一場模聯會議中,pages(或稱"ushers")是穿梭於會議場中,幫忙傳遞代表們手中的紙條等訊息的工作人員。我們學到的錢一個單字例句中就曾介紹到,會議代表能夠透過page傳遞紙條給主席,將自己的代表國家入發言者名單中。在聯合國會議中,page是會場上國家代表與己國大使溝通的重要媒介,在討論已呈交的決議文時分外重要。

例句:
There are no direct dialogues in a MUN conference; pages(ushers) may help pass notes in between.
模聯會議中代表們是無法直接對談的,如此的談話內容可以請pages(ushers)協助傳遞紙條給欲交談的代表。

Pages also are responsible for sending the documents for print and distributing them to all delegates.
Pages也負責文件送印,以及將文件送達代表手中。

I beckoned for the page to pick up my note and pass it to the Delegate of Gambia.
我向page召手示意請他將我的紙條傳到甘比亞代表座位上。
