TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Manager: Hi Sarah, thanks for meeting with me. I wanted to discuss the upcoming team reorganization. We need to integrate the new hires more effectively.
Sarah: Of course, Mr. Harrison. I've been thinking about that too. How do you envision the new structure?
Manager: Well, I was considering splitting the department into specialists for project management and client relations. What are your initial thoughts?
Sarah: That could work. It might streamline our workflow. However, I'm concerned about how it impacts our current client assignments, especially with the museum exhibition schedule coming up next quarter. We need to ensure continuity.
Manager: That's a valid point. We'll need to carefully plan the transition and client handovers. Perhaps we can schedule a follow-up meeting with the rest of the team next week to go over the details and address any concerns regarding the exhibition schedule's impact.

📖 文章翻譯 —
經理：嗨，Sarah，謝謝妳來開會。我想討論一下即將到來的團隊重組。我們需要更有效地整合新進員工。
Sarah：當然，Harrison 先生。我也有在想這件事。您設想的新結構是怎麼樣的？
經理：嗯，我正在考慮將部門分為專注於專案管理和客戶關係的專業團隊。妳初步有什麼想法？
Sarah：那樣或許可行。可能會簡化我們的工作流程。不過，我擔心這會如何影響我們目前的客戶指派，特別是博物館展覽的時間表即將到來……
選項：["新進員工可能無法融入。","重組可能會擾亂客戶工作。","經理的提議太過激進。","展覽時間表要求太高。"]
📝 答案解析 — Sarah 提到「我擔心這會如何影響我們目前的客戶指派，特別是博物館展覽的時間表即將到來...」。這直接指出了她對重組可能影響現有客戶工作的擔憂。「客戶指派」(client assignments) 和「博物館展覽的時間表」(museum exhibition schedule) 是關鍵的聽力線索，表明問題與現有客戶工作有關。
💡 應試技巧 — 當聽到某人表達「擔心」(concerned about, worried about) 或提出潛在問題時，尋找選項中提及該人的擔憂內容，特別是針對「工作」、「專案」、「客戶」等職場相關詞彙。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) 新進員工可能無法融入 — Sarah 並沒有直接提到對新進員工適應能力的擔憂。
X) 經理的提議太過激進 — Sarah 認為提議「或許可行」(could work) 且「可能會簡化我們的工作流程」(might streamline our workflow)，這表明她不認為提議「太過激進」(too radical)。
X) 展覽時間表要求太高 — Sarah 提到展覽時間表，但重點在於重組「如何影響」客戶指派，而非展覽時間表本身「要求太高」。
