Placard [N.]






字義:
A large written or printed notice that is put in a public place or carried on a stick in a march.
標語牌;廣告牌

In MUN, rather than representing their homeland, delegates are assigned to represent a random country on the given issue. Everyone could be about just any country on the list. The placard is a piece of card with the assigned country's name on it that a delegate raises in the air to signal to the Chair that he or she wishes to speak.
模聯會議中,與會學生們並非模擬代表自己本國籍的外交官;你所代表的國家是針對議題隨機分配出來的。每個人被分派代表任一名冊上國家的機會是均等的。代表牌即是一張標示與會者所代表的國家牌,同時也是代表用以取得發言權的重要工具。

例句:
Those who wish to speak, please raise their placards.
欲發言者,請舉牌。

From the placard he holds, I can tell he is representing Brazil.
從他手中的代表牌可知他是本會議的巴西代表。

Please raise your placards high and clear when voting.
投票時請高舉你的代表牌。
