✔ 最佳答案
句子一看不出有問題。

句子二建議改為:

The saleslady arranged a meeting between me and the jewellery buyer for the store.

“meeting”前通常用“arrange”、“hold”或“conduc”。“make”應該不是慣常的用法。“meeting...to meet”在應用上有重複之嫌。

修正:“conduc”應為“conduct”

句子一:
The saleslady made an appointment for me to meet the jewellery buyer for the store.
It should be:
I and the saleslady made an appointment at the jewellery shop.

句子二:
The saleslady made a meeting for me to meet the jewellery buyer for the store.
It should be:
The saleslady made a meeting with me at the jewellery shop

I can't type chinese ,so i type it in english.
The first two sentence are wrong because you maybe translate the sentence directly from chinese to english or you made the concept of the sentence from chinese.To inprove it, you may make 1~2 sentences everyday in english.REMEMBER, think it in english or in english concept.NEVER think chinese would you make the english sentence correct.
I do hope it will help you a lot.
參考: me
