TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目
段落
Woman 1: Okay everyone, let's finalize the strategy for the 'InnovateX' launch. Liam, have you confirmed the promotional materials?
Man 1: Almost done. Just finalizing the digital ad creatives and the press release. I'm a bit concerned about the timing, though the main launch event is set for next Friday.
Woman 2: I've been coordinating with the event team. They've confirmed the venue setup, but we had a slight hiccup with the AV equipment. It seems one of the projectors needs immediate attention.
Man 1: Oh, really? That shouldn't delay anything major, right? We can't afford any setbacks with InnovateX.
Woman 2: No, they assured me it's a quick fix. It's essentially a printer repair request for their large-format display system, apparently. They're sending a technician this afternoon. Liam, did you send out the 'save the date' notices?
Man 1: Yes, they went out yesterday. We should start seeing RSVPs soon. I'll also follow up with the tech influencer we confirmed.

📖 文章翻譯 —
女 1:好的各位,我們來確定「InnovateX」發佈的策略。Liam,你確認好宣傳材料了嗎?
男 1:差不多了。我正在最後潤飾數位廣告素材和新聞稿。不過我有點擔心時間安排,主要發佈活動定在下週五。
女 2:我一直在與活動團隊協調。他們已經確認了場地佈置,但我們在 AV 設備上遇到了一點小麻煩。其中一台投影機似乎需要立即處理。
男 1:哦,真的嗎?那不會延誤什麼大事吧?我們不能有任何延誤,因為……
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「The AV equipment malfunction」( AV ��備故障)。雖然男士提到「timing」(時間安排)以及「hiccup with the AV equipment」( AV 設備上的小麻煩),但女 2 直接指出「one of the projectors needs immediate attention」(其中一台投影機需要立即處理),這明確指出了 AV 設備的問題。男士後續的回應「That shouldn't delay anything major, right?」(那應該不會延誤什麼大事吧?)顯示出他對 AV 設備問題是否會影響整體發佈的擔憂,進一步印證了这是主要顧慮。
💡 應試技巧 — 當聽到對話中提到具體設備問題(如 AV 設備、投影機)時,要留意後續人物的反應,特別是他們是否表達出對此問題會影響進度或造成重大影響的擔憂,這通常指向了該問題的嚴重性。
📊 錯誤選項分析 —
X) A delay in the launch date — 雖然提到了「timing」和「hiccup」,但並沒有明確表示發佈日期會延遲,男士反問「That shouldn't delay anything major, right?」暗示他希望不會延遲。
X) Insufficient RSVPs — 對話從未提及人數回覆不足的問題。
X) The tech influencer's availability — 對話中沒有提到科技影響者或其出席狀況。
