TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Man: Hi Sarah, I wanted to discuss the upcoming team reorganization. We need to make some adjustments to better align with our project goals.
Woman: Oh, really? What kind of adjustments are you thinking of?
Man: Well, based on the feedback from the last quarter and the new project requirements, I think we should consider reallocating some members. For instance, maybe move David from marketing to the development team, given his coding skills.
Woman: That's an interesting idea. David has always been interested in development, and his analytical skills could be a great asset there. What about Anna?
Man: Anna has shown great initiative in client relations. I was thinking she could take a more central role in managing our key accounts, perhaps even leading the preparations for the launch event of the regional farmers market opening.
Woman: That sounds like a good fit for her. She's very personable and good at building rapport. So, the goal is to leverage individual strengths more effectively?
Man: Exactly. And to foster better collaboration between departments. We'll finalize the details by the end of the week.

📖 文章翻譯 —
男:嗨莎拉,我想跟你討論一下即將到來的團隊重整。我們需要做些調整,好更符合我們的專案目標。
女:哦,真的嗎?你想到的是哪種調整?
男:嗯,根據上一季的回饋和新的專案需求,我認為我們應該考慮重新分配一些成員。例如,也許把大衛從行銷部門調到開發團隊,考慮到他的程式設計能力。
女:這是個有趣的點子。大衛一直對開發很感興趣,而且他的分析能力在那裡會是個很大的優勢。關於安呢...
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「C) 由於大衛的程式設計技能和分析能力」。對話中,男性明確提到「考量到他的程式設計能力 (given his coding skills)」,而女性則補充說「他的分析能力在那裡會是個很大的優勢 (his analytical skills could be a great asset there)」。這些都直接支持了大衛調動的原因是基於他的技能。
💡 應試技巧 —
聽到建議調動人員的對話時,注意聽取提出建議者和回應者對於該人員「技能」和「特質」的描述,這些往往是支持或反對調動的關鍵理由。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 為了減少行銷部門的工作量 — 對話中並未提及行銷部門的工作量問題。
B) 因為大衛表達了轉換職位的意願 — 雖然女性提到大衛「一直對開發很感興趣 (always been interested in development)」,但對話中並未明確指出是大衛主動提出轉換職位的意願。
D) 為了改善與開發團隊的合作 — 對話的重點在於大衛的個人技能如何能貢獻給開發團隊,而非改善整體團隊間的合作關係。
