Hi Team,

I'm writing to provide an update on Project Alpha. Unfortunately, we've encountered an unforeseen setback. Mark, our lead developer, has had to take an unexpected medical leave of absence, effective immediately. This significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline.

We're currently assessing the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly. I'll share a more detailed plan by end of day tomorrow. In the meantime, please direct any urgent queries to me. We appreciate your understanding.

Best,
Sarah Chen
Project Manager

Sarah,

This is certainly unwelcome news. How will this affect our client commitments and the scheduled business trip itinerary for the Tokyo presentation next month? Please advise on contingency planning.

Regards,
David Lee
VP of Operations

David,

Regarding the Tokyo presentation, we'll need to postpone it. The client is amenable to rescheduling, but it does complicate their team's availability, impacting the carefully coordinated business trip itinerary. We are looking into assigning a temporary resource to cover for Mark, but it's unlikely they can ramp up in time to prevent *some* delay. We're exploring all options to mitigate the impact, including reallocating tasks among the existing team members and potentially bringing in external support, though the latter has its own onboarding lead time. A revised project plan, including the impact on the itinerary, will be circulated by tomorrow EOD.

題目

選項

  1. A. His tasks are being redistributed. ✓
  2. B. A new developer is being hired.
  3. C. He is working remotely during his leave.
  4. D. His responsibilities are being postponed.

解析

[KO]
📖 지문해석
이메일은 Project Alpha 팀에게 보내는 스케줄 업데이트에 관한 것입니다. 리드 개발자인 Mark가 즉시 유효한 예상치 못한 의료 휴가를 떠나게 되어 프로젝트 마감일을 맞추는 데 차질이 생겼습니다. 현재 지연 정도를 평가하고 일정을 수정하는 중입니다.

📝 정답이유
정답은 "His tasks are being redistributed." (그의 업무가 재분배되고 있다.)입니다. 본문에서 "This significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline." (이것은 다가오는 마감일을 맞출 우리의 역량에 상당한 영향을 미칩니다.)라고 언급하며 Mark의 부재로 인한 문제점을 지적하고, 바로 이어지는 문장에서 "We're currently assessing the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly." (우리는 현재 지연의 전체 범위를 평가하고 그에 따라 일정을 수정할 것입니다.)라고 하여 문제 해결을 위해 조치를 취하고 있음을 나타냅니다. 이는 Mark의 업무가 다른 사람에게 맡겨지고 있음을 암시합니다.

💡 실전팁
Part 7에서 특정 인물의 부재나 문제 상황에 대한 해결책을 묻는 문제는, 해당 문제 상황을 언급하는 문장 바로 뒤에 오는 문장을 주의 깊게 읽으세요. 종종 해결책이나 다음 단계에 대한 단서가 그곳에 있습니다.

📊 오답분석
X) A new developer is being hired. (새로운 개발자가 채용되고 있다.) — 지문에는 새로운 채용에 대한 언급이 없습니다.
X) He is working remotely during his leave. (그는 휴가 동안 원격으로 일하고 있다.) — Mark가 "medical leave of absence" (의료 휴가)를 떠났다고 명시되어 있어 원격 근무 가능성이 낮습니다.
X) His responsibilities are being postponed. (그의 책임이 연기되고 있다.) — 업무가 연기된다기보다는 Mark의 부재 자체가 영향을 미치고 있으며, 이에 대한 해결책이 논의되고 있습니다.

📖 本文の和訳
このメールは、Project Alphaのチーム宛てのスケジュール更新に関するものです。リード開発者のMarkが、予期せず、即時発効の医療休暇を取得することになりました。これにより、迫り来る締め切りに間に合わせる能力に大きな影響が出ています。現在、遅延の全容を評価し、それに従ってタイムラインを修正していく予定です。

📝 정답이유 (Why this answer)
正解は「His tasks are being redistributed.」（彼のタスクは再配分されています。）です。本文には、「This significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline.」（これは、迫り来る締め切りに間に合わせる私たちの能力に著しく影響します。）とあり、Markの不在による問題点を指摘しています。それに続く文で、「We're currently assessing the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly.」（私たちは現在、遅延の全容を評価しており、それに応じてタイムラインを修正していきます。）と述べており、問題解決のための措置が取られていることを示唆しています。これは、Markの業務が他の誰かに引き継がれていることを示唆しています。

💡 Test-day tip (実戦ヒント)
Part 7で、特定の人物の不在や問題状況に対する解決策を問う問題は、その問題状況を言及している文の直後の文を注意深く読んでください。解決策や次のステップへの手がかりがそこに記載されていることがよくあります。

📊 Wrong-option analysis (不正解選択肢の分析)
X) A new developer is being hired. (新しい開発者が雇用されています。) — 本文には、新規採用に関する言及はありません。
X) He is working remotely during his leave. (彼は休暇中にリモートで働いています。) — Markが「medical leave of absence」（医療休暇）を取っていると明記されており、リモートワークの可能性は低いです。
X) His responsibilities are being postponed. (彼の責任は延期されています。) — 業務が延期されるというよりは、Markの不在そのものが影響を与えており、それに対する解決策が議論されています。

📖 การแปลบทอ่าน
อีเมลฉบับนี้เป็นการแจ้งอัปเดตกำหนดการสำหรับทีม Project Alpha แจ้งว่า Mark ซึ่งเป็นหัวหน้าฝ่ายพัฒนา จำเป็นต้องลาป่วยอย่างกะทันหันโดยมีผลทันที ซึ่งส่งผลกระทบอย่างมากต่อความสามารถในการส่งมอบงานให้ทันตามกำหนดเวลาที่กำลังจะมาถึง ขณะนี้ กำลังประเมินขอบเขตของความล่าช้าทั้งหมดและจะปรับปรุงระยะเวลาตามความเหมาะสม

📝 Why this answer
คำตอบที่ถูกต้องคือ "His tasks are being redistributed." (งานของเขาถูกแจกจ่ายใหม่) ข้อความระบุว่า "This significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline." (สิ่งนี้ส่งผลกระทบอย่างมากต่อความสามารถของเราในการส่งมอบงานให้ทันตามกำหนดเวลาที่กำลังจะมาถึง) ซึ่งชี้ให้เห็นปัญหาอันเนื่องมาจาก Mark ไม่อยู่ และประโยคถัดมา "We're currently assessing the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly." (ขณะนี้เรากำลังประเมินขอบเขตของความล่าช้าทั้งหมดและจะปรับปรุงระยะเวลาตามความเหมาะสม) บ่งชี้ว่ากำลังดำเนินการแก้ไขปัญหา ซึ่งหมายความว่างานของ Mark กำลังถูกแบ่งให้ผู้อื่นรับผิดชอบ

💡 Test-day tip
สำหรับคำถาม Part 7 ที่ถามถึงแนวทางการแก้ไขปัญหาอันเนื่องมาจากบุคคลขาดงานหรือสถานการณ์ปัญหา ให้ลองอ่านประโยคถัดจากประโยคที่กล่าวถึงสถานการณ์ปัญหานั้นๆ อย่างละเอียด คำตอบหรือขั้นตอนต่อไปมักจะอยู่ในประโยคนั้น

📊 Wrong-option analysis
X) A new developer is being hired. (นักพัฒนาคนใหม่กำลังถูกจ้าง) — ไม่มีข้อมูลในบทอ่านเกี่ยวกับการจ้างงานใหม่
X) He is working remotely during his leave. (เขาทำงานจากระยะไกลในช่วงลาป่วย) — บทอ่านระบุชัดเจนว่าเป็นการ "medical leave of absence" (ลาป่วย) จึงไม่น่าจะเป็นไปได้ที่จะทำงานจากระยะไกล
X) His responsibilities are being postponed. (ความรับผิดชอบของเขากำลังถูกเลื่อนออกไป) — แทนที่จะเป็นการเลื่อนงานออกไป ปัญหาหลักคือการที่ Mark ไม่สามารถมาทำงานได้ และกำลังมีการแก้ไขปัญหานี้อยู่

📖 Dịch đoạn văn
Email này cung cấp thông tin cập nhật về tiến độ dự án Alpha gửi cho nhóm. Thật không may, trưởng nhóm phát triển Mark đã phải xin nghỉ phép y tế đột xuất, có hiệu lực ngay lập tức. Điều này ảnh hưởng đáng kể đến khả năng đáp ứng thời hạn sắp tới của chúng tôi. Chúng tôi hiện đang đánh giá đầy đủ mức độ chậm trễ và sẽ điều chỉnh lại lịch trình cho phù hợp.

📝 Why this answer
Đáp án đúng là "His tasks are being redistributed." (Công việc của anh ấy đang được phân công lại.) Đoạn văn nêu rõ: "This significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline." (Điều này ảnh hưởng đáng kể đến khả năng đáp ứng thời hạn sắp tới của chúng tôi.) cho thấy vấn đề do Mark vắng mặt. Ngay câu tiếp theo, "We're currently assessing the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly." (Chúng tôi hiện đang đánh giá đầy đủ mức độ chậm trễ và sẽ điều chỉnh lại lịch trình cho phù hợp.) cho thấy các hành động đang được thực hiện để giải quyết vấn đề, ngụ ý rằng công việc của Mark đang được giao cho người khác.

💡 Test-day tip
Đối với các câu hỏi ở Phần 7 hỏi về cách giải quyết tình huống vắng mặt của một cá nhân hoặc một vấn đề, hãy đọc kỹ câu ngay sau câu đề cập đến tình huống đó. Các manh mối về giải pháp hoặc các bước tiếp theo thường nằm ở đó.

📊 Wrong-option analysis
X) A new developer is being hired. (Một nhà phát triển mới đang được tuyển dụng.) — Đoạn văn không đề cập đến việc tuyển dụng mới.
X) He is working remotely during his leave. (Anh ấy đang làm việc từ xa trong thời gian nghỉ phép.) — Đoạn văn nêu rõ là "medical leave of absence" (nghỉ phép y tế), vì vậy khả năng làm việc từ xa là rất thấp.
X) His responsibilities are being postponed. (Trách nhiệm của anh ấy đang bị hoãn lại.) — Thay vì công việc bị hoãn, vấn đề chính là sự vắng mặt của Mark và các giải pháp đang được xem xét.

📖 文章翻譯 — 主旨：緊急：Alpha計畫 - 進度更新。寄件人：Sarah Chen <s.chen@innovatech.com>。日期：2023年10月26日，上午9:15。收件人：David Lee <d.lee@innovatech.com>、Alpha計畫團隊 <alpha.team@innovatech.com>。各位團隊成員，我寫這封信是為了提供Alpha計畫的最新情況。不幸的是，我們遇到了一個預期外的挫折。我們的首席開發人員Mark，即時起必須請假接受醫療照護。這嚴重影響了我們達成即將到來死線的能力。我們目前正在評估延誤的程度，並相應地修改時程。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「他的任務正在重新分配」。文章中提到Mark請假「significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline」（嚴重影響我們達成即將到來死線的能力），這暗示著他的工作必須有人接手。雖然沒有直接說明「重新分配」，但這是最符合邏輯的應對方式，尤其是在「assess the full extent of the delay and will revise the timeline accordingly」（評估延誤的程度並相應地修改時程）之前。
💡 應試技巧 — 當得知關鍵人員缺席影響進度時，預期訊息會接著說明團隊如何應對，例如任務調整、資源重新分配或時程延誤。尋找與這些應對措施相關的動詞和名詞。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 新開發人員正在被聘用 — 文章沒有提到聘請新人。X) 他在請假期間遠端工作 — 文章明確指出他是「medical leave of absence」（醫療假），這通常不允許遠端工作。X) 他的職責正在被推遲 — 這與「significantly impacts our capacity to meet the upcoming deadline」（嚴重影響我們達成即將到來死線的能力）的說法相矛盾，因為推遲職責等於無法按時完成。
