TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman A: Liam, do you have a moment? I wanted to go over the timeline for the 'Synergy' project launch. We're getting quite close.
Man (Liam): Absolutely, Sarah. I was just reviewing the marketing materials. Have we confirmed the distribution channels yet?
Woman A: Not entirely. We're still waiting on the final confirmation from the international team. Speaking of international, did you manage to sort out your travel documents for the Tokyo conference?
Man (Liam): Almost. I've submitted the application, but the passport renewal process seems to be taking longer than usual. I'm hoping it comes through by next week.
Woman A: Oh, I know! Mine took ages last time. Anyway, back to Synergy – once we have distribution sorted, we need to finalize the launch event details. I was thinking a press conference followed by a demo session.
Man (Liam): That sounds good. I'll coordinate with the PR team to secure a venue and send out invitations. Let's aim to have everything confirmed by Friday.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女A:Liam,你有空嗎?我想跟你仔細討論一下「Synergy」專案啟動的時間表。我們離目標越來越近了。
男(Liam):當然,Sarah。我剛好在審閱行銷資料。我們已經確認好經銷通路了嗎?
女A:還不完全確定。我們還在等國際團隊的最��確認。說到國際,你處理好你去東京研討會的旅行文件了嗎?
男(Liam):差不多了。我已經送件申請了,但護照更新似乎比平常花的時間還久。我希望能在...
📝 答案解析 — 題目問「他們目標何時確認一切?」。對話中,女A提到「我們還在等國際團隊的最後確認」,這表示部分項目尚未完成。然而,Liam 接著問「我們已經確認好經銷通路了嗎?」,而女A的回應「還不確定」與「我們還在等國際團隊的最後確認」是針對「經銷通路」的確認,這暗示了與會者希望盡快完成確認。雖然「Synergy」專案啟動時間點未定,但對話中提到「我們還在等國際團隊的最後確認」,這句有時間上的暗示,代表事情還在進行中,需要等待。因此,儘管沒有明確說出日期,但從上下文本意推測,是在等待國際團隊的確認後。
💡 應試技巧 — 注意轉折詞「Speaking of」之後的對話內容,它經常引導出與先前話題相關但可能包含新資訊或時間線索的內容。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) By next week — 文章中未提及具體的時間點。
X) By Friday — 文章中未提及具體的時間點。
X) After the passport renewal — Liam 提到的護照更新是為了他個人參加東京研討會,與專案整體確認的時程無直接關聯。
X) After the Tokyo conference — 雖然有提到東京研討會,但對話重心是專案的確認,而不是以此為時間標竿。
