TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman A: Hi Mark, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss the timeline for the 'Nova' project launch. We're getting quite close.
Man: Sure, Sarah. Come on in. Yes, the launch date is set for the first week of next month. We need to finalize the marketing materials by the end of this week.
Woman A: I agree. I've been working on the press release, but I'm a bit worried about the international distribution team. Their feedback on the packaging design was delayed because their manager was handling some urgent personal matters, including his passport renewal process.
Man: Oh, I see. That's unfortunate. Did you manage to get the final approval on the packaging?
Woman A: Thankfully, yes. It arrived this morning. So, the packaging is set. But we still need to coordinate the social media blitz and ensure all online listings are updated.
Man: Okay. Let's schedule a quick meeting for tomorrow afternoon with the distribution team lead. We can iron out any remaining issues and confirm the final asset delivery dates. Can you send out an invite?
Woman A: Absolutely. I'll do that right now. Thanks for your help, Mark.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女: 馬克，你現在有空嗎？我想跟你討論一下「Nova」專案啟動的時間表。我們快要啟動了。
男: 當然，莎拉。請進。是的，啟動日期定在下個月的第一週。我們需要在本週末前定稿行銷材料。
女: 我同意。我一直在撰寫新聞稿，但我有點擔心國際發行團隊。他們對包裝設計的回饋延遲了，因為他們的經理正在處理一些緊急的個人事務，包括他的護照更新事宜。
男: 哦，我明白了。這很不順
📝 答案解析 — 正確選項是「Receiving approval for the packaging」（收到包裝核准）。對話中提到「Their feedback on the packaging design was delayed」（他們對包裝設計的回饋延遲了），這表示他們正在等待或已經收到關於包裝設計的意見，而「feedback」在這裡可以用來指示「approval」或「rejection」的過程，尤其是在討論專案推進時。語句「...their manager was handling some urgent personal matters, including his passport renewal process」解釋了回饋延遲的原因，間接暗示了包裝設計的核准流程受到延誤。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到與「回饋」(feedback)、「核准」(approval)、「延遲」(delay) 等與決策或審核相關的詞語時，需要特別留意其前後文，判斷這是指進行中的步驟還是已完成的狀態，尤其是在時間緊迫的專案討論中。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) Finalizing marketing materials（定稿行銷材料）— 男方提到「We need to finalize the marketing materials by the end of this week」，這是一個即將要做或正在進行的任務，而不是剛剛完成的。
X) Coordinating social media（協調社群媒體）— 對話中沒有提到社群媒體協調的任何內容。
X) Updating online listings（更新線上列表）— 對話中沒有提到更新線上列表的任何內容。
