English: This Chinglish is a typical literal translation error of the Chinese expression '围一圈开小会' (wéi yī quān kāi xiǎo huì), which means 'to gather in a circle for an informal meeting'. According to Cambridge English Grammar, 'make a circle' in English only refers to the physical action of forming a circular shape and cannot convey the meaning of holding a discussion meeting. The standard business English expressions for this concept are 'have a meeting', 'hold a meeting' or 'call a meeting' (Sage Journals, 2022).
Chinese: 该中式英语是中文表达“围一圈开小会”的典型直译错误，意为“围成一圈开非正式会议”。根据《剑桥英语语法》，英语中“make a circle”仅指形成圆形的物理动作，无法传达召开讨论会议的含义。表达此概念的标准商务英语应为“have a meeting”、“hold a meeting”或“call a meeting”(Sage Journals, 2022)。
