「不如我們來投票表決吧！」的英文怎麼說？

在生活中，我們是不是常常跟同學朋友為了選擇吃飯或其他事情而討論，沒有結論通常以投票作結尾吧，那投票表決的英文該怎麼說呢？你可以像上圖的美劇 “I didn't do it” 說的：
“Maybe we should vote on it.”

或者你也可以說：
“Let's take a vote.” 或者 “Let's put it to the vote, then.”

催票？你可以說：
“Could you have your vote please?”

所以囉，同意我說的請舉手！
“All those in favour...”

接著，若投票結果以反對票為多數，你可以說：
“The vote is in the negative.”



Got it?
另外我們也將「不記名投票」的英文分享給大家，
以英英字典和維基百科的解釋，向大家敘述這段知識喔

ballot |ˈbælət| 
noun a system of voting secretly and in writing on a particular issue
verb (of an organization) ask (members) to vote secretly on an issue

A ballot is a device used to cast votes in an election, and may be a piece of paper or a small ball used in secret voting.^[1] It was originally a small ball (see blackballing) used to record decisions made by voters.

不記名，是一種選舉中的投票措施，它可以是用來秘密投票的小紙條或小圓球，而原先是以小圓球記錄選民們的決定。

Each voter uses one ballot, and ballots are not shared. In the simplest elections, a ballot may be a simple scrap of paper on which each voter writes in the name of a candidate, but governmental elections use pre-printed to protect the secrecy of the votes. The voter casts his/her ballot in a box at a polling station.

一人一票，不得轉讓。在最簡易的選舉中，不記名投票可以在一張簡單且具公信的紙張上，由選民寫上中意的候選人姓名。但在政府的選舉中，則使用印刷好的選票來保障投票的秘密性，選民將自己的選票放入投開票所的票箱中。

In British English, this is usually called a "ballot paper".^[2] The word ballot is used for an election process within an organisation (such as a trade union "holding a ballot" of its members).

在英式英文中，這通常被叫作 “ballot paper”，而 “ballot” 一詞則被用來指稱各種組織內的選舉流程。

Etymology

The word ballot comes from Italian ballotta, meaning a “small ball used in voting” or a “secret vote taken by ballots” in Venice, Italy.

字源學
“ballot” 一詞來自義大利文 “ballotta”，意思是「用來投票的小球」或者在維納斯「一個以不記名投票為方式的秘密投票」。
