TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman 1: So, it’s time to really nail down the details for the annual holiday party. Have we decided on a theme yet?
Man 1: I’ve been thinking about it. We got a lot of photos from last year’s event, and I was considering something related to a winter wonderland. It felt quite popular.
Woman 1: Hmm, a winter wonderland is nice, but maybe a bit cliché? What about something more interactive? I saw a promotion for a company that does 80s retro nights.
Man 1: An 80s night? That could be fun! It’d definitely be different. We’d need to consider the music and decorations, though. Do you think it fits our company culture?
Woman 1: I think it could be a refreshing change. People might enjoy dressing up. Plus, to manage all the event photos and planning documents, I was thinking we should upgrade our cloud storage subscription to handle the larger files we'll be generating.
Man 1: Good point. A larger cloud storage subscription makes sense for organizing everything. Okay, let's tentatively go with the 80s theme. We can start looking into DJs and decor.
Woman 1: Perfect. I’ll research event planners specializing in that era.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女 1:那麼,是時候確定年度假期派對的細節了。我們已經決定主題了嗎?
男 1:我一直在想這件事。我們去年活動拍了很多照片,我原本在考慮像「冬日仙境」這樣的主題,感覺蠻受歡迎的。
女 1:嗯,「冬日仙境」不錯,但可能有點老套?有沒有什麼更互動的?我看到一家公司在推廣 80 年代復古之夜的活動。
男 1:80 年代之夜?那可能會很有趣!肯定會不一樣。不過我們需要考慮音樂和佈置。你覺得它符合...
選項:
["佈置的成本"]
["是否有 80 年代 DJ"]
["是否符合公司文化"]
["員工是否會熱情參與"]
📝 答案解析 —
正確答案是「C) 是否符合公司文化」。男士在提到「80 年代之夜」時,直接問道「The music and decorations, though. Do you think it fits...」。這裡的 "it fits" 雖然直接跟著提到音樂和佈置,但結合上下文,他實際上是在詢問這個主題的整體適宜性,暗示了對是否「符合」公司形象或氛圍的疑慮。
💡 應試技巧 —
聽到「fits」這個動詞時,注意它可能是在詢問某事物是否「適合」或「符合」某種情況,常與「culture」、「style」、「purpose」、「environment」等詞搭配,留意說話者對這種「適合性」的判斷。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
A) 佈置的成本 — 男士提到了需要考慮佈置,但他沒有明確表達對成本的擔憂,僅是列舉需要考慮的因素。
B) 是否有 80 年代 DJ — 雖然音樂是 80 年代主題的一部分,但他並沒有直接詢問 DJ 是否可用,而是在更廣泛地考慮音樂和佈置。
D) 員工是否會熱情參與 — 男士並未直接表達對員工參與度的擔憂,他的疑問是關於主題本身的「符合度」。
