TOEIC การฟัง พาร์ท 3 — คำถาม
บทอ่าน
Woman 1: We're getting closer to the holiday party date, but a few things are still up in the air. Have you finalized the catering numbers?
Man: Almost. I've been wrestling with the budget spreadsheet all morning, trying to reconcile the projected costs with our actual spending. I could use another pair of eyes on it.
Woman 1: I can help with that after I follow up on the venue confirmation. Did you manage to get those new decorations approved?
Man: Yes, the committee signed off yesterday. Speaking of approvals, I also need to get the final guest count to the caterer by Friday. We're still waiting on a few RSVPs, especially from the international team. Their email system is a bit tricky, almost as cumbersome as trying to get a library membership renewal sorted during peak hours.
Woman 2: Oh, I can chase those RSVPs! I have their contact list. And I can help with the budget spreadsheet too, if you like. I'm quite good at spotting discrepancies.

📖 지문해석 — 이 대화의 일부는 아닙니다. 주어진 질문은 남자 ("Man")가 도서관 회원 갱신에 대해 언급한 것의 목적을 묻고 있습니다.
📝 정답이유 — 남자가 "budget spreadsheet", "projected costs", "actual spending"와 같은 단어를 언급하며 "wrestling with" (씨름하다, 힘겹게 다루다)이라는 표현을 사용한 것은 그가 매우 복잡하고 시간이 많이 걸리는 작업에 직면해 있음을 시사합니다. 이는 예산 스프레드시트 작업을 "시간이 많이 걸리는 일"로 강조하는 선택지 1번과 일치합니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 3/4에서 인물이나 사물이 '어려움'이나 '시간 소모'를 나타내는 표현(예: struggle, challenge, take time, difficult)을 사용할 때, 해당 인물의 목적이나 특정 행동의 이유를 묻는 질문에 주목하십시오.
📊 오답분석 —
X) To request assistance with the renewal process — 남자가 도움을 요청한 것은 예산 스프레드시트 작업에 대한 것이지, 도서관 회원 갱신에 대한 것이 아닙니다.
X) To suggest an alternative activity for the team — 대화 내용에 팀을 위한 대안 활동에 대한 언급은 전혀 없습니다.
X) To complain about the library's inefficient service — 남자는 도서관 서비스에 대해 불평하는 것이 아니라, 특정 작업에 어려움을 겪고 있음을 말합니다.

📖 本文の和訳 — この対話の一部は提供されていません。質問は、男性が図書館の会員更新についてコメントした目的を尋ねています。
📝 正解理由 — 男性が「予算のスプレッドシート」や「予測コスト」、「実際支出」といった単語を挙げ、「格闘している」("wrestling with")という表現を使っていることから、彼が非常に複雑で時間のかかる作業に取り組んでいることが示唆されます。これは、予算スプレッドシートの作業を「複雑で時間のかかるタスク」として強調する選択肢1と一致します。
💡 実践的アドバイス — Part 3/4で、人物や物が「困難」や「時間のかかり具合」を示す表現(例:struggle, challenge, take time, difficult)を使った場合、その人物の目的や特定の行動の理由を問う質問に注意してください。
📊 選択肢分析 —
X) To request assistance with the renewal process — 男性が助けを求めているのは、予算スプレッドシートの作業についてであり、図書館の会員更新についてではありません。
X) To suggest an alternative activity for the team — チームのための代替活動についての言及は、会話には全くありません。
X) To complain about the library's inefficient service — 男性は図書館のサービスについて不満を述べているのではなく、特定の作業で困難を抱えていることを示しています。

📖 文章翻譯 —
女 1:季節性派對的日期越來越近了,但還有一些事情懸而未決。你已經確定餐飲人數了嗎?
男:差不多了。我整個上午都在研究預算試算表,試圖將預計費用與實際支出進行核對。我需要你幫我再檢查一遍。
女 1:在我跟進確認場地後,我可以幫忙。你成功申請到那些新的裝飾品了嗎?
男:是的,委員會昨天已經簽字同意了。說到批准,我還需要在星期五前將最終的賓客人數告知餐飲業者。我們還在等待...
選項:["請求協助辦理續約事宜","強調一項複雜且耗時的任務","建議團隊進行另一項活動","抱怨圖書館效率低落的服務"]
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「強調一項複雜且耗時的任務」。男性在回應關於預算時,用了「wrestling with the budget spreadsheet all morning」(整個上午都在研究預算試算表)和「trying to reconcile the projected costs with our actual spending」(試圖將預計費用與實際支出進行核對)這些詞語,明顯表達了這項工作非常困難且耗時。
💡 應試技巧 —
注意聽取說話者用來形容工作或情況的動詞和副詞,例如「wrestling with」、「trying to reconcile」,這些詞語能揭示任務的性質和難度。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
"To request assistance with the renewal process" — 男人請求協助檢查預算試算表,但這與「續約事宜」無關。
"To suggest an alternative activity for the team" — 對話圍繞著派對準備,沒有提及任何其他活動的建議。
"To complain about the library's inefficient service" — 對話主題是公司或團隊的派對準備,完全沒有提到圖書館服務。

📖 Passage translation — Part of this conversation is not provided. The question is asking about the purpose of the man's comment regarding library membership renewal.
📝 Why this answer is correct — The man's mention of terms like "budget spreadsheet," "projected costs," and "actual spending," along with the phrase "wrestling with," indicates he is facing a complex and time-consuming task. This aligns with Option 1, which highlights the budget spreadsheet work as a "complex and time-consuming task."
💡 Test-day tip — In Part 3/4, when a speaker uses phrases indicating "difficulty" or " time commitment" (e.g., struggle, challenge, take time, difficult), pay close attention to questions asking about their purpose or the reason behind a specific action.
📊 Wrong-option analysis —
X) To request assistance with the renewal process — The assistance the man is requesting is for the budget spreadsheet work, not for library membership renewal.
X) To suggest an alternative activity for the team — There is no mention of suggesting an alternative activity for the team in the conversation.
X) To complain about the library's inefficient service — The man is not complaining about the library service but indicating he is having difficulty with a specific task.
