解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 男: 關於新零件的建議售價，我已審閱過數據了。我們的採購團隊對最初的報價有些疑慮。
女: 我明白。我們當然樂於協商，以確保合作成功。您希望在哪方面進行調整？

📝 答案解析 — 正確選項是「單價」。男性明確表示「主要在單價」，並說明「希望稍微降低一些」，直接呼應了選項「The price per item」。他還提到「交貨時程需要更具彈性」，但主要擔憂是價格。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到「concern」、「doubt」、「issue」等詞時，要特別留意說話者後續提出的具體問題，這些通常是考題的關鍵。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 零件的品質 — 文章中未提及對零件品質的擔憂。
X) 訂單的總數量 — 男性提到「根據訂購量提供分級折扣」，但這是在回應價格問題，而非主要擔憂。
X) 付款條件 — 文章未討論付款條件，例如付款時間或方式。
