TOEIC 聽力 Part 3 — 題目

段落

Woman 1: Okay everyone, let's finalize the plans for our annual holiday party. We're still thinking about the venue, right?
Man 1: Yes, and the date. I was leaning towards Friday, December 15th, but that might conflict with the downtown farmers market opening. They're expecting a big crowd.
Woman 2: Oh, is that this year? That could definitely impact attendance if people are drawn to that. Maybe we should consider the 14th or 16th instead?
Man 1: Good point. Let's tentatively pencil in the 14th. Now, about decorations. I can handle coordinating the volunteers for that.
Woman 1: Great, thanks! And I've been looking into some potential caterers. I'll send out the top three options by tomorrow.
Woman 2: Perfect. I can take charge of the entertainment. I have a few ideas, maybe a DJ or a small band.

解析

📖 文章翻譯 — 好的各位，讓我們來確定年度假期派對的計畫。我們還在考慮場地，對吧？ 是的，還有日期。我傾向於 12 月 15 日星期五，但這可能會與市中心農夫市集開幕日期衝突。他們預計會有很多人潮。 喔，是今年嗎？這確實可能會影響出席人數，如果人們被吸引到那裡的話。也許我們應該考慮 14 日或 16 日呢？說得好。我們暫定 14 日。現在，關於裝飾品。我可以負責協調志工。太好了，謝謝！
📝 答案解析 — 男士擔心 12 月 15 日是因為，他在對話中明確說道：「我傾向於 12 月 15 日星期五，但這可能會與市中心農夫市集開幕日期衝突。」「衝突 (conflict)」一詞清楚地表明了日期重疊的問題，這是他擔心的原因。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到對話中提到日期，務必同時留意日期本身以及提及該日期時伴隨的任何潛在問題或原因。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) 離年底太近 — 文件中未提及日期接近年底是個問題。X) 首選場地在那天不可用 — 對話中提到了日期衝突，但不是和場地。X) 許多員工將已在休假 — 文章中未提及員工休假的問題。
