TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman: Alright everyone, let's get started. Thanks for coming to this project planning session. We've got a lot to cover before the annual shareholder meeting next month.
Man: Absolutely. I think the first item on the agenda should be finalizing the Q3 deliverables. We're still a bit behind on the market research component.
Woman: I agree. Sarah, could you give us an update on that? We need to ensure all our data is accurate for the presentation.
Sarah: Yes, I've compiled the preliminary findings. It seems the consumer confidence index has dipped slightly, which might impact our projections.
Man: That's crucial information. We'll need to adjust our forecasts accordingly. Juggling this with the preparations for the shareholder event is proving challenging.
Woman: Indeed. Let's aim to wrap up the Q3 review in the next hour, then we can dedicate the remainder of our time to devising strategies for the upcoming shareholder gathering.

題目

What does the man mean by "Juggling this with the preparations for the shareholder event is proving challenging"?

選項

  1. A. He finds it difficult to balance the project review with event planning ✓
  2. B. He is struggling to manage the budget for both tasks
  3. C. He believes the shareholder event should be postponed
  4. D. He is overwhelmed by the number of tasks

正確答案

A. He finds it difficult to balance the project review with event planning

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 女：好的各位，我們開始吧。感謝大家來參加這次的專案規劃會議。我們在下個月的年度股東大會之前還有很多事項要處理。男：沒錯。我認為議程上的第一項應該是確定第三季的交付成果。我們在市場研究這一塊還稍微落後。女：我同意。莎拉，妳能提供這方面的最新進度嗎？我們需要確保所有數據都準確無誤，以便進行簡報。莎拉：是的，我已經整理了初步的調查結果。看起來消費者信心指數略有下滑，這可能會影響我們的預測。
📝 答案解析 — 男人說「Juggling this with the preparations for the shareholder event is proving challenging」，其中 "juggling" 意指同時處理多項事務，而 "challenging" 則是「有挑戰的、困難的」。這直接對應到選項「他發現難以同時兼顧專案審查與活動策劃」。句中的 "this" 指的是專案相關事宜，與 "preparations for the shareholder event" 同時進行，因此有難度。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示「同時處理多件事情」的詞語（如 "juggling", "balancing", "managing multiple"）時，要特別注意選項是否提到「兩項或多項任務的同時進行」以及其「難易度」。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 他在設法管理兩項任務的預算 — 文章未提及預算問題。X) 他認為股東大會應該延期 — 他只提到準備有挑戰，並未表達延期想法。X) 他對任務數量感到不知所措 — 雖然可能，但「不知所措」比「難以同時兼顧」更強烈，且原文更側重於「平衡」的困難。
