正解:(A) It is not good
詳解
問題問的是「Dan 這間店的生意如何」。線索很密:都快中午了,Mrs. Anderson 卻是他今早看到的 the first person(第一個客人),Dan 自己承認 It's been a quiet morning(今天早上很冷清),還說客人都跑去新的購物中心了。這些全指向同一件事,生意很差,所以答案是 (A) It is not good(不太好)。
這題不必逐字翻,用生活直覺就懂:快中午了店裡還只來一個客人,老闆自己嘆冷清,這畫面本身就寫著「生意慘淡」。聽的時候可以善用 Dan 的語氣,you're the first person I've seen(你是我看到的第一個)配上 quiet(冷清),這種帶點無奈的措辭就是在告訴你生意不好。
最後 Dan 那句 I wish there were more people like you(真希望多幾個像你這樣的客人)用的是與現在事實相反的假設語氣,等於在說「現在客人就是不夠多」,再一次把「生意差」說清楚。
誘答分析
•
(B) It is as good as before.:「跟以前一樣好」跟事實相反。對話從頭到尾都在講今天特別冷清、客人被新購物中心搶走,沒有半句說生意維持得好。這個選項是給那些沒聽懂整段語氣、隨手選一個中性答案的人準備的。
•
(C) It is better than he hoped.:「比他預期的好」也講反了。Dan 最後那句 I wish there were more people 明明是希望「客人能再多一點」,代表現況不如他所願。把一句「渴望更多客人」聽成「已經超乎預期」,方向整個顛倒。
聽力提示
問「生意、狀況好不好」時,聽當事人自己的措辭和語氣(first person、quiet、I wish there were more)。這些帶無奈、帶渴望的話,往往比任何一個數字更直接地告訴你答案。
