TOEIC Listening Part 3 — Soalan
Petikan
Sarah: Thanks for coming, everyone. Let's get straight to it. The main goal today is to firm up the timeline for the 'Phoenix' project launch.
John: Right. I've drafted a preliminary schedule based on our last discussion. We're looking at a potential launch in early Q3.
Maria: Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John. Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.
Sarah: Maria has a point. We need to factor that in. John, can you adjust the schedule to reflect that? Perhaps pushing the development completion date back slightly?
John: I can try. It might impact the initial resource allocation, though. I'll need to review that section.
Maria: While we're discussing schedules, I also need to book my annual health checkup appointment. Does anyone know if Dr. Evans's office has openings next Friday afternoon?
Sarah: I'm not sure about Dr. Evans, but my clinic has some slots available. I can send you the details if you're interested. We should probably finish this project discussion first, though.
John: Agreed. Let's focus here. I'll rework the schedule and circulate it by end of day. We can address any further concerns in our follow-up meeting.

Penjelasan
[KO]
📖 지문해석 — Sarah는 'Phoenix' 프로젝트 출시 일정 확정을 위해 회의를 소집했으며, John은 초안 일정을 제시하며 3분기 초 출시를 제안합니다. Maria는 이 일정이 너무 빠르다고 생각하며, 마케팅 캠페인을 위해 개발 완료 후 최소 6주가 필요하다고 지적합니다.
📝 정답이유 — Maria는 John이 제시한 일정에 대해 "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John."이라고 말합니다. 그 이유는 바로 뒤에 나오는 "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign."이라는 설명에서 찾을 수 있습니다. 즉, 마케팅 캠페인 기간이 고려되지 않아 일정이 빠듯하다고 생각하기 때문입니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 3/4에서는 화자의 반대 의견이나 우려 사항이 종종 정답의 근거가 됩니다. 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'와 같은 단어를 주의 깊게 들으며 부정적인 뉘앙스를 파악하세요.
📊 오답분석 —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — 개발 기간 부족에 대한 언급은 지문에 없습니다. Maria는 마케팅 기간을 문제 삼았습니다.
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — 다른 프로젝트 마감일과의 충돌에 대한 내용은 언급되지 않았습니다.
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — 경영진의 승인 여부는 논의되지 않았습니다.

📖 本文の和訳 — Sarahは「Phoenix」プロジェクトのローンチスケジュールを確定するために会議を招集し、Johnは前回の議論に基づいた暫定スケジュールを提示し、第3四半期初頭のローンチを提案します。Mariaは、このスケジュールは少しアグレッシブすぎると考え、マーケティングキャンペーンには開発完了後、最低6週間が必要だと指摘します。
📝 回答理由 — Mariaは、Johnが提示したスケジュールについて「Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John.」と述べています。その理由は、直後の「Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.」という説明から分かります。つまり、マーケティングキャンペーン期間が考慮されていないため、スケジュールがタイトだと彼女は考えているのです。
💡 試験対策 — Part 3/4では、話し手の反対意見や懸念事項がしばしば正解の根拠となります。「aggressive」、「difficult」、「too soon」、「problem」、「issue」といった単語に注意深く耳を傾け、否定的なニュアンスを把握しましょう。
📊 不正解選択肢の分析 —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — 開発期間の不足については、本文で言及されていません。Mariaはマーケティング期間を問題視しました。
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — 他のプロジェクトの締め切りとの競合については、言及されていません。
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — 経営陣の承認の有無については議論されていません。

📖 การแปลบทอ่าน — Sarah เรียกประชุมเพื่อสรุปกำหนดการเปิดตัวโครงการ 'Phoenix' และ John ได้ร่างกำหนดการเบื้องต้น โดยเสนอให้เปิดตัวในช่วงต้นไตรมาสที่ 3 Maria คิดว่ากำหนดการนี้ค่อนข้างเร่งรีบ และชี้แจงว่าฝ่ายการตลาดต้องการเวลาอย่างน้อย 6 สัปดาห์หลังการพัฒนาสำหรับแคมเปญ
📝 เหตุผลที่เลือกคำตอบ — Maria กล่าวถึงกำหนดการที่ John เสนอว่า "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." เหตุผลคือนัยอยู่ในประโยคถัดมาทันทีว่า "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." ซึ่งหมายความว่าเธอมองว่ากำหนดการนั้นเร่งรีบเกินไปเพราะไม่ได้คำนึงถึงระยะเวลาของแคมเปญการตลาด
💡 เคล็ดลับสำหรับวันสอบ — ใน Part 3/4 ความคิดเห็นที่ขัดแย้งหรือข้อกังวลของผู้พูด มักเป็นเบาะแสสำคัญสำหรับคำตอบที่ถูกต้อง ให้ตั้งใจฟังคำที่บ่งบอกถึงนัยเชิงลบ เช่น 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'
📊 การวิเคราะห์ตัวเลือกที่ผิด —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — ในบทอ่านไม่มีการกล่าวถึงว่าเวลาในการพัฒนาไม่เพียงพอ Maria กำลังตั้งคำถามเกี่ยวกับระยะเวลาของแคมเปญการตลาด
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — ไม่มีการกล่าวถึงความขัดแย้งกับกำหนดเวลาของโครงการอื่น ๆ
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — ไม่มีการอภิปรายเกี่ยวกับว่าผู้บริหารอนุมัติหรือไม่

📖 Dịch đoạn văn — Sarah triệu tập cuộc họp để chốt thời gian ra mắt dự án 'Phoenix', và John trình bày lịch trình sơ bộ, đề xuất ra mắt vào đầu Quý 3. Maria cho rằng lịch trình này hơi gấp, lưu ý rằng bộ phận marketing cần ít nhất sáu tuần sau khi phát triển xong để thực hiện chiến dịch.
📝 Lý do chọn câu trả lời — Maria nhận xét về lịch trình do John đề xuất: "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." Lý do được nêu rõ ngay sau đó trong câu: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." Điều này có nghĩa là cô ấy cho rằng lịch trình quá gấp vì nó chưa tính đến thời gian cần thiết cho chiến dịch marketing.
💡 Mẹo thi cử — Trong Phần 3/4, những ý kiến phản đối hoặc mối quan ngại của người nói thường là cơ sở cho câu trả lời đúng. Hãy chú ý lắng nghe các từ ngữ mang hàm ý tiêu cực như 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'.
📊 Phân tích lựa chọn sai —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — Đoạn văn không đề cập đến việc thời gian phát triển không đủ. Maria đang nêu vấn đề về thời gian cho chiến dịch marketing.
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — Không có đề cập nào về xung đột với các thời hạn dự án khác.
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — Không có thảo luận nào về việc ban quản lý có phê duyệt hay không.

📖 Terjemahan Teks — Sarah mengadakan pertemuan untuk memantapkan jadwal peluncuran proyek 'Phoenix', dan John mempresentasikan jadwal tentatif yang mengusulkan peluncuran di awal Kuartal 3. Maria berpikir jadwal tersebut agak ambisius, mencatat bahwa pemasaran membutuhkan setidaknya enam minggu pasca-pengembangan untuk kampanye.
📝 Alasan Jawaban — Maria mengomentari jadwal yang diajukan John sebagai, "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." Alasannya diperjelas segera setelahnya dalam kalimat: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." Ini berarti dia menganggap jadwal tersebut terlalu ketat karena belum memperhitungkan durasi kampanye pemasaran yang diperlukan.
💡 Tips Hari Ujian — Dalam Part 3/4, ketidaksetujuan atau kekhawatiran pembicara sering kali menjadi petunjuk jawaban yang benar. Perhatikan baik-baik kata-kata yang menunjukkan nuansa negatif seperti 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'.
📊 Analisis Pilihan Jawaban Salah —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — Tidak ada penyebutan bahwa waktu pengembangan tidak cukup dalam teks. Maria mengangkat masalah durasi kampanye pemasaran.

📖 Terjemahan Petikan — Sarah mengadakan keperluan untuk memuktamadkan garis masa pelancaran projek 'Phoenix', dan John membentangkan jadual awal yang mencadangkan pelancaran pada awal Suku ke-3. Maria berpendapat garis masa itu agak agresif, menyatakan bahawa pemasaran memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya enam minggu pasca-pembangunan untuk kempen.
📝 Sebab Jawapan — Maria berpendapat mengenai garis masa yang dikemukakan John: "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." Sebabnya dinyatakan serta-merta selepas itu dalam ayat: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." Ini bermakna beliau menganggap garis masa itu terlalu tergesa-gesa kerana ia tidak mengambil kira tempoh kempen pemasaran yang diperlukan.
💡 Petua Hari Ujian — Dalam Bahagian 3/4, ketidaksetujuan atau kebimbangan jurucakap sering menjadi petunjuk kepada jawapan yang betul. Beri perhatian teliti pada perkataan yang menunjukkan nada negatif seperti 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'.
📊 Analisis Pilihan Jawangan Salah —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — Tiada penyebutan bahawa masa pembangunan tidak mencukupi dalam petikan. Maria membangkitkan isu tempoh kempen pemasaran.

📖 Tradução da Passagem — Sarah convoca a reunião para firmar o cronograma de lançamento do projeto 'Phoenix', e John apresenta um cronograma preliminar propondo um lançamento no início do Q3. Maria acha que o cronograma é um pouco agressivo, observando que o marketing precisa de pelo menos seis semanas pós-desenvolvimento para a campanha.
📝 Motivo da Resposta — Maria comenta o cronograma proposto por John: "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." A razão é explicitada logo em seguida na frase: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." Isso significa que ela considera o cronograma muito apertado porque não leva em conta a duração necessária para a campanha de marketing.
💡 Dica para o Dia da Prova — Nas Partes 3 e 4, a discordância ou preocupação do falante frequentemente fornece a base para a resposta correta. Preste atenção especial a palavras que indicam nuances negativas como 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', 'issue'.
📊 Análise das Opções Erradas —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — Não há menção no texto de que o tempo de desenvolvimento seja insuficiente. Maria está levantando a questão da duração da campanha de marketing.
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — Nenhuma menção de conflito com outros prazos de projeto foi feita.
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — Nenhuma discussão sobre se a gerência aprovou ou não ocorreu.

📖 文章翻譯 — Sarah：謝謝大家今天來。我們直接開始。今天的主要目標是確定「Phoenix」專案發布的最終時間表。John：好的。我根據上次的討論草擬了一份初步日程。我們預計在第三季初發布。Maria：第三季？John，這看起來有點趕。行銷活動在開發完成後還需要至少六週的時間來準備。Sarah：Maria 說得對。我們必須將這一點考慮進去。John，你能否調整日程以反映這一點？也許將開發完成日期稍微往後推？John：我試試看。這可能會影響最初的...
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「它沒有考慮到行銷活動的持續時間」。Maria 明確表示：「行銷需要至少六週的時間來準備活動」，並且認為 Q3 的發布時間「有點趕」，這直接表明了時間表的問題在於未能涵蓋行銷所需的時間。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示不確定或質疑語氣的詞語（如 "seems a bit aggressive", "has a point", "Can you adjust...?"），要特別留意說話者提出質疑的原因，這通常是答案的關鍵線索。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 它沒有為開發提供足夠的時間 —原文並未提及開發時間不足，而是行銷時間不足。 X) 它與其他專案的截止日期衝突 — 文章中沒有提及與其他專案的衝突。 X) 管理層尚未批准 — 文章中沒有提到任何關於管理層批准的資訊。

📖 Passage Translation — Sarah convenes a meeting to finalize the timeline for the 'Phoenix' project launch, and John presents a preliminary schedule proposing a launch in early Q3. Maria thinks the timeline is a bit aggressive, noting that marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign.
📝 Why this answer — Maria expresses her concern about John's proposed timeline by saying, "Q3? That seems a bit aggressive, John." The reason is clearly stated immediately after: "Marketing needs at least six weeks post-development for the campaign." This indicates she believes the timeline is too tight because it doesn't account for the necessary duration of the marketing campaign.
💡 Test-day tip — In Part 3/4, the speaker's disagreement or expressed concerns often form the basis for the correct answer. Listen carefully for words indicating negative sentiment, such as 'aggressive', 'difficult', 'too soon', 'problem', or 'issue'.
📊 Wrong-option analysis —
X) It doesn't allow enough time for development. — The passage does not mention insufficient development time. Maria is raising an issue about the marketing campaign duration.
X) It conflicts with other project deadlines. — There is no mention of conflicts with other project deadlines.
X) It hasn't been approved by management. — There is no discussion about whether management has approved it.
