TOEIC 聽力 Part 4 — 題目

段落

Attention, valued patrons of "The Curious Emporium"! It is with a heavy heart that we announce the impending closure of our beloved establishment, effective December 31st. This decision, though difficult, became inevitable due to escalating lease costs in this prime downtown location. We've cherished serving this community for over two decades, sharing our unique collection of artisanal crafts and vintage curiosities. As a token of our gratitude, and to help us clear our remaining inventory, we are launching an unprecedented 'Everything Must Go' closing-down sale, commencing this Monday. Discounts will range from 30% to a staggering 70% off all merchandise, including our rare antique furniture pieces and handcrafted jewelry. We encourage you to visit us one last time to find those treasured items you've always admired and to bid farewell. All sales during this period will be final. We extend our sincerest thanks for your unwavering support throughout the years.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 各位「好奇寶藏館」的尊貴顧客請注意！我們懷著沉重的心情宣布，我們摯愛的店舖將於12月31日結束營業。這個決定雖然艱難，但由於市中心這個黃金地段租金不斷上漲，已經變得無可避免。我們非常珍惜這二十多年來為這個社區服務的時光，分享我們獨特的精緻手工藝品和復古奇物。為了表達我們的感謝，並幫助我們清空剩餘的庫存，我們將於本週一開始推出前所未有的「清倉大拍賣」。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「顯著的價格折扣」。文章明確提到，「作為我們感謝的象徵，並幫助我們清空剩餘的庫存，我們正在推出前所未有的『清倉大拍賣』」。『清倉大拍賣』(closing-down sale) 意指大幅降低價格以快速售出商品。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到「sale」、「discount」、「clearance」、「closing down」等關鍵字，通常與降低價格有關，即使沒有明確說出「折扣」，也要聯想到價格的變動。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 顧客忠誠度計畫 — 文章沒有提到任何關於會員累積點數或回饋的計畫。
C) 延長營業時間 — 文章沒有提到在關閉前會延長營業時間，而是提到了結束營業的日期。
D) 新產品線 — 文章提到的是「清空剩餘的庫存」，而不是引進新的商品。
