TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: So, the board has approved the office relocation to the downtown Tower building.
Woman: That's exciting! I heard it has much larger floor space. Is that right?
Man: Yes, our current space is becoming quite cramped, especially with the new hires we've onboarded this quarter. We're definitely outgrowing it.
Woman: That makes sense. When is the move scheduled for?
Man: We're aiming for the end of next month. Legal is handling the lease now. We'll need to start planning the logistics soon, including how we'll manage the new employee orientation sessions in the larger, purpose-built training rooms there.
Woman: Right. I'll coordinate with HR to ensure the orientation schedule aligns with the move. I hope the new space has adequate parking too.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 男：所以，董事會已經批准了辦公室搬遷到市中心的塔樓大廈。女：那真是令人興奮！我聽說那裡有更大的樓層空間，是真的嗎？男：是的，我們目前的空間變得相當擁擠，特別是隨著我們本季度新進的員工。我們顯然已經不夠用了。女：這有道理。搬遷預計是什麼時候？男：我們的目標是下個月底。法務部門正在處理租賃事宜。我們很快就需要開始規劃後勤，包括我們將如何在更大、專門建造的培訓室裡安排新員工的入職說明會。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「目前的辦公室太小」。對話中，男士明確提到「我們目前的空間變得相當擁擠，特別是隨著我們本季度新進的員工。我們顯然已經不夠用了。」這直接點出公司需要搬遷的原因是空間不足。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到表示「空間不足」的關鍵詞，如 "cramped"（狹窄的）、「outgrowing it」（不夠用了），應立刻聯想到與空間大小相關的選項。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 創造一個更現代化的工作空間 — 文章沒有提及搬遷是為了追求現代化。 X) 離公共交通更近 — 文章沒有提到新辦公室的交通便利性。 X) 減少月度開支 — 文章沒有討論與搬遷相關的成本節省。
