TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hi Sarah, it's Mark from IT support. I'm calling about the issue you reported with your laptop.
Woman: Oh, hi Mark. Yes, it's been quite frustrating. I can't seem to connect to the office network at all this morning.
Man: Understood. Let's see if we can get that sorted out for you. Have you tried restarting your device yet?
Woman: Yes, I have. Several times, actually. It connects briefly after a reboot, but then it drops again. It’s almost like a faulty car rental agreement where the terms keep changing.
Man: That's an unusual symptom. Let me check your network settings remotely. Could you confirm your employee ID for verification?
Woman: Sure, it's S-4578. I've got a deadline for the marketing proposal, so I really need this fixed soon. The submission process requires network access.
Man: I see. Okay, I'm accessing your system now. It looks like there might be an IP address conflict. I'll try to reconfigure that for you. Please bear with me for a moment.
Woman: No problem, take your time. Just let me know if you need anything else from my end.

解析
📖 文章翻譯 — 男：哈囉莎拉，我是IT支援的馬克。我打電話來是關於你回報的筆記型電腦問題。
女：哦，哈囉馬克。是的，這真的讓人很沮喪。我今天早上完全無法連上辦公室網路。
男：了解。讓我們看看能否為你解決。你有試過重開機嗎？
女：有，我試過了。實際上試了好幾次。重開機後會短暫連上，但隨即又斷線了。這幾乎就像一份不穩定的汽車租賃協議，條款不斷在變。
男：這聽起來很奇怪。讓我遠端檢查你的網路設定。你能不能...
選項：["一個複雜的軟體錯誤","一個不穩定的汽車租賃協議","一個週期性的系統更新","一個遠端伺服器錯誤"]
📝 答案解析 — 女人說：「It’s almost like a faulty car rental agreement where the terms keep changing.」這句話直接與選項 B 相符，她將不穩定的網路連線比喻為條款不斷變動、不可靠的汽車租賃協議。關鍵詞是 "faulty car rental agreement" 和 "terms keep changing"，直接對應到「不穩定的汽車租賃協議」。
💡 應試技巧 — 注意聽比喻句 (similes like "like" or "as")。這些比喻通常會直接用來測試你的理解能力，將聽到的情境與選項中的比喻進行匹配。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 一個複雜的軟體錯誤 — 文章中並未提及軟體錯誤，且女人的比喻更偏向於連線不穩定而非程式錯誤。X) 一個週期性的系統更新 — 系統更新通常是預期的，女人的問題是突發且令人沮喪的，這與更新不符。X) 一個遠端伺服器錯誤 — 雖然是技術問題，但她用的比喻是關於「條款不斷改變」，而非單純的伺服器故障。
