TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman 1: We're getting closer to the holiday party date, but a few things are still up in the air. Have you finalized the catering numbers?
Man: Almost. I've been wrestling with the budget spreadsheet all morning, trying to reconcile the projected costs with our actual spending. I could use another pair of eyes on it.
Woman 1: I can help with that after I follow up on the venue confirmation. Did you manage to get those new decorations approved?
Man: Yes, the committee signed off yesterday. Speaking of approvals, I also need to get the final guest count to the caterer by Friday. We're still waiting on a few RSVPs, especially from the international team. Their email system is a bit tricky, almost as cumbersome as trying to get a library membership renewal sorted during peak hours.
Woman 2: Oh, I can chase those RSVPs! I have their contact list. And I can help with the budget spreadsheet too, if you like. I'm quite good at spotting discrepancies.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女 1：季節性派對的日期越來越近了，但還有一些事情懸而未決。你已經確定餐飲人數了嗎？
男：差不多了。我整個上午都在研究預算試算表，試圖將預計費用與實際支出進行核對。我需要你幫我再檢查一遍。

選項：["請求協助辦理續約事宜","強調一項複雜且耗時的任務","建議團隊進行另一項活動","抱怨圖書館效率低落的服務"]
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「強調一項複雜且耗時的任務」。男性在回應關於預算時，用了「wrestling with the budget spreadsheet all morning」（整個上午都在研究預算試算表）和「trying to reconcile the projected costs with our actual spending」（試圖將預計費用與實際支出進行核對）這些詞語，明顯表達了這項工作非常困難且耗時。
💡 應試技巧 —
注意聽取說話者用來形容工作或情況的動詞和副詞，例如「wrestling with」、「trying to reconcile」，這些詞語能揭示任務的性質和難度。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
"To request assistance with the renewal process" — 男人請求協助檢查預算試算表，但這與「續約事宜」無關。
"To suggest an alternative activity for the team" — 對話圍繞著派對準備，沒有提及任何其他活動的建議。
"To complain about the library's inefficient service" — 對話主題是公司或團隊的派對準備，完全沒有提到圖書館服務。
