TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman: Thank you for calling TechSolutions, this is Sarah speaking. How can I help you?
Man: Yes, hello. I'm calling about order number 4587B. I received it yesterday, but it's completely wrong.
Woman: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that, sir. Can you tell me what the issue is?
Man: I ordered the Pro-X laptop, the high-end model. Instead, I got some basic desktop computer. This is unacceptable!
Woman: I understand your frustration. Let me pull up your order details. Yes, I see order 4587B for the Pro-X laptop. It seems there was a mistake in our warehouse dispatch. We apologize for this oversight.
Man: An oversight? This has caused significant delays for my work. I needed that laptop for a critical presentation next week.
Woman: I can only imagine. We will ship the correct Pro-X laptop to you immediately via express delivery, at no extra charge, of course. We'll also arrange for the incorrect desktop to be picked up at your convenience.
Man: And what about the inconvenience this has caused?
Woman: We'd like to offer you a 15% discount on your next purchase as an apology. Also, to prevent future issues, I want to assure you that our team is reviewing our inventory management and data backup procedure to ensure accuracy.

題目

What is the company offering as an apology for the inconvenience?

選項

  1. A. A free upgrade on their next order
  2. B. A 15% discount on the next purchase ✓
  3. C. Free express shipping on the next order
  4. D. A full refund for the incorrect item

B. A 15% discount on the next purchase

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 女:您好,這裡是 TechSolutions 的 Sarah,有什麼可以幫您的嗎?
男:是的,您好。我打電話是關於訂單號 4587B 的。我昨天收到貨了,但完全錯了。
女:哦,很抱歉聽到這個消息,先生。請告訴我問題是什麼?
男:我訂購的是 Pro-X 筆記型電腦,高階款。結果,我收到了一台基本的桌上型電腦。這是無法接受的!
女:我理解您的沮喪。請讓我調出您的訂單細節。是的,我看到訂單 4587B 是 Pro-X 筆記型電腦。似乎是我們倉庫發貨時出了差錯。對此疏失,我們深感抱歉。

📝 答案解析 — 顧客收到錯誤商品(桌上型電腦而非筆記型電腦),客服確認是倉庫發貨錯誤並為此「深感抱歉」(apologize)。儘管對話中並未明說要如何補償,但通常為此類錯誤提供的補償方式是給予折扣,選項 B「下次購買享 15% 折扣」是常見且合理的補償方案。題幹詢問的是「公司為造成不便而道歉(offering as an apology)」,而折扣是常見的道歉方式。

💡 應試技巧 — 當對話中出現「抱歉」(apologize)但未明確說明補償內容時,應聯想並選擇一個最符合邏輯且常見的補償方式,例如折扣或升級。

📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) A free upgrade on their next order — 文章未提及升級相關內容。
X) A 15% discount on the next purchase — 這是最常見也最合理的補償方式,未在文中直接說出,但為道歉的一種方式。
X) Free express shipping on the next order — 文章未提及運送方式或快遞服務。
X) A full refund for the incorrect item — 雖然顧客可以要求退款,但這通常是顧客主動要求,而非公司主動「提供」的道歉方式。且顧客收到的是「商品」錯誤,而非「商品本身有瑕疵」,故退款是選項,但不一定是公司「提供」的道歉。
