本週情境音檔
三遍跟讀版會念「慢、正常、正常」再接中文;也可以切成全文英文連續版。
Monday Morning
五個 Chunk 放在同一個工作早上;這段同時是音檔逐字稿。
- 1
On Monday morning, a client emailed about a shipment that hadn't arrived.
週一早上,一位客戶來信說貨還沒收到。
- 2
I told her I'd look into the delay and get back to her before lunch.
我告訴她,我會查清楚延誤原因,午餐前回覆。
- 3
Then I checked in with Leo, who was handling the order.
接著,我找負責這筆訂單的 Leo 確認狀況。
- 4
He'd already followed up on the delivery with the courier, so I asked Operations to take care of the replacement.

- 5
By two o'clock, everything had been taken care of, and I sent the client the new tracking number.
下午兩點前,事情都處理好了,我也把新的貨運追蹤號碼寄給客戶。
換你說
先別往下看。完整說出英文,再展開答案。
1. 我先查一下重複扣款的原因,下午再回覆你。
I'll look into the duplicate charge and get back to you this afternoon.
先用 look into 查原因,再用 get back to you 承諾回覆。
2. 你可以跟進我們上週寄出的報價嗎?
Could you follow up on the quote we sent last week?
報價已經寄出,現在要追後續。
3. 我會在會議前先跟 Nina 確認一下。
I'll check in with Nina before the meeting.
對象是 Nina,所以用 check in with。
4. 別擔心,訂位我來處理。
Don't worry. I'll take care of the reservation.
take care of 表示把任務接下來完成。
5. 退款的事已經處理好了。
The refund has already been taken care of.
be taken care of 是很常見的完成狀態。
答完再看:五句怎麼分?
剛才卡住的地方,用下一個動作再判斷一次;手機可左右滑動表格。
| Chunk | 看到什麼訊號 | 三秒判斷 |
|---|---|---|
| look into | 答案還不知道,要查原因 | 我需要先調查,才能知道發生什麼事。 |
| follow up on | 事情已經開始,要追後續 | 已有郵件、案件或進度,我現在去追。 |
| check in with | 對象是人,輕量確認 | 我要找某個人問一下近況或進度。 |
| take care of | 把事情接下來並完成 | 這件事我處理,你可以放心。 |
| get back to you | 現在不能回答,稍後回覆 | 我確認完資料,再把答案告訴你。 |
先判斷下一個動作,Chunk 就比較不會選錯。
