USAGE
It is true that Cicero would have usedagendum  to refer to a single item of business before the Roman Senate, withagenda  as its plural. But in Modern English a phrase such asitem on the agenda  expresses the sense ofagendum,   andagenda  is used as a singular noun to denote the set or list of such items, as inThe agenda for the meeting has not yet been set.  If a plural ofagenda  is required, the form should beagendas: The agendas of both meetings are exceptionally varied.
    在罗马元老院之前西塞罗确实就已经在用agendum 来指一个议事日程，而用agenda 作为复数。 但是在现代英语中item on the agenda 这个短语表达了agendum 的意义， 同时agenda 作为单数名词意为“一组或一列项目”， 如：The agenda for the meeting has not yet been set（会议议程尚未确定）。  如果需要用agenda 的复数，应该用agendas： The agendas of both meetings are exceptionally varied（两会议议程迥然不同）。
