TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hello, building management. How can I help?
Woman: Hi, I'm calling about apartment 3B. The elevator has been broken for two days now, and my elderly mother can't walk up the stairs.
Man: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that. We had scheduled elevator maintenance, but it's taking longer than expected. We expect it to be fixed by tomorrow evening.
Woman: Tomorrow evening? That's too long! She needs to go to her doctor's appointment this afternoon. Is there any possibility of a temporary fix or a different solution?
Man: Let me check with the maintenance team. Please hold for a moment... Thank you for waiting. Unfortunately, a temporary fix isn't possible due to the nature of the issue. We are prioritizing the full repair.
Woman: I understand, but this is very inconvenient. Can you at least assure me it will be ready by tomorrow?
Man: Yes, we will do our best to ensure the elevator maintenance closure is resolved by tomorrow evening.

📖 文章翻譯 —
男：您好，物業管理中心。請問有什麼可以幫忙的嗎？
女：您好，我打電話是關於3B公寓的事。電梯已經壞了兩天了，我年紀大的母親無法爬樓梯。
男：哦，聽到這個消息我非常抱歉。我們原本安排了電梯維修，但比預期的時間長。我們預計明天晚上會修好。
女：明天晚上？太久了！她今天下午有個醫生的預約。有沒有可能的臨時修復或是其他解決方案？
男：我請向維修團隊確認一下。請稍待片刻……謝謝。
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「明天晚上 (By tomorrow evening)」。對話中，管理員明確表示：「We expect it to be fixed by tomorrow evening.」，這直接回答了電梯預計何時修好的問題。選項中的「Tomorrow evening」與原文中的「by tomorrow evening」意思一致，是聽力聽到的關鍵資訊。
💡 應試技巧 —
聽到對話中關於時間的陳述時（如：when, by when, until when），立刻將其與選項中的時間進行比對，優先選擇與聽到的內容完全吻合的選項。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 今天下午 (This afternoon) — 女士提到她的母親有今天的下午的醫生預約，但男士並未回應今天下午能修好。
X) 明天早上 (Tomorrow morning) — 管理員預計是「明天晚上」修好，而不是「明天早上」，時間點不符。
X) 三天後 (In three days) — 對話中並未提及三天後，維修時間的預計是明天。
