The agreement was finalized after several months of negotiation and market research. According to the marketing director, the company aims to increase customer loyalty through value-added services. Customers who book flights through the airline’s official website will receive discounted hotel rates and complimentary airport transfers. The promotion will initially be available in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. If the campaign proves successful, the airline plans to expand the program to international destinations next year. Industry analysts predict that bundled services will become increasingly common as companies seek to remain competitive. However, some experts caution that operational coordination between airlines and hotels must be carefully managed. A spokesperson emphasized that customer feedback will be closely monitored throughout the trial period. The company believes that proactive communication and flexible booking policies will enhance the overall customer experience. 📌 一、重要單字(高頻商務字) 1️⃣ strategic partnership 策略性合作 2️⃣ bundled travel packages 綑綁式旅遊套裝 3️⃣ negotiation 協商、談判 4️⃣ market research 市場調查 5️⃣ customer loyalty 顧客忠誠度 6️⃣ value-added services 加值服務 7️⃣ discounted rates 折扣價 8️⃣ complimentary 免費的(商務場合超常出現) 9️⃣ promotion 促銷活動 🔟 expand the program 擴展計畫 11️⃣ international destinations 國際目的地 12️⃣ industry analysts 產業分析師 13️⃣ remain competitive 保持競爭力 14️⃣ operational coordination 營運協調 15️⃣ spokesperson 發言人 16️⃣ trial period 試行期間 17️⃣ proactive communication 主動溝通 18️⃣ flexible booking policies 彈性訂票政策 19️⃣ overall customer experience 整體顧客體驗 📌 二、關鍵片語(閱讀 & 聽力高頻結構) ▪ announced a strategic partnership 宣布策略合作 ▪ finalized after several months of negotiation 經過數月談判後定案 ▪ aims to increase… 旨在提升… ▪ According to… 根據… ▪ initially be available in… 初期將於…推出 ▪ If the campaign proves successful… 如果活動證明成功… ▪ predict that… will become increasingly common 預測…將越來越普遍 ▪ seek to remain competitive 力求保持競爭力 ▪ must be carefully managed 必須謹慎管理 ▪ will be closely monitored 將被密切監控 Powered by Firstory Hosting

(我無法完全理解這個理論的深遠含義。) 補充:在口語裡常用 understand,而 apprehend 顯得比較正式或文學性。 2. 擔憂 / 憂慮(心理狀態) ‧She apprehended that something might go wrong. (她擔心可能會出事。) 3. 逮捕(法律/執法) ‧The suspect was apprehended by plainclothes officers. (嫌疑人被便衣警察抓獲。) 補充:這個意思在法律文件、報導或正式公告裡有,但在日常英文裡通常會用 arrest(更普遍、口語)。 詞性變化: Apprehension:延伸出的名詞 ‧Her apprehension of the problem was deep and clear. (她對這個問題的理解既深刻又清晰。) ‧There was an apprehension in her voice. (她的語氣裡透著擔憂。) Apprehensive:形容詞形式 ‧She felt apprehensive about the exam results.

本集單字如下,詳細中英對照請點選以下文稿連結。 lucrative modification oversee subsidiary tactic utilization initiative viable expedite streamline proficiency 10月的單字有介紹feasible,這裡深入解析與本集的單字viable做比較。 1. Feasible (可行的) 核心意義:指某件事在技術、資源上是否「能夠被完成」或「做得到」。 例句:"Building a bridge across the ocean is technically feasible, but the cost would be astronomical." (建造一座橫跨大洋的橋樑在技術上是可行的,但成本將會是天文數字。) 2. Viable (可行的、可持續的) 核心意義:指某件事不僅能被完成,而且還能夠長期成功、存活、發展或獲利。它關注的是「持續性」和「成功潛力」。 例句:"Even if the product is feasible to produce, we need to ensure it's a viable business model that can generate profit." (即使這個產品在生產上是可行的,我們也需要確保它是一個能產生利潤的可持續商業模式。) 解析:生產出來(feasible)是一回事,但能不能賣錢、讓公司活下去(viable)是另一回事。 3. Practical (實用的、切實的) 核心意義:指某件事是否符合現實情況、方便、明智且有意義。它關注的是在「現實世界」中的「實用性」和「合理性」。 例句:"While we could hold meetings every day, it's not a practical way to manage the team's time." (雖然我們可以每天開會,但這不是一個切實可行的時間管理方式。) 解析:每天開會當然「做得到」(feasible),但它不方便、效率低,因此不「實用」。 本集中英文稿:https://reurl.cc/3M5R2L 下一集上架時間:12/8 18:00 Powered by Firstory Hosting

本集十二個重要單字: 1. accomplish (v.) 完成(目標、任務) 2. acquisition (n.) 獲得;收購 3. administration (n.) 行政 4. collaboration (n.) 合作、協作 5. cooperation (n.) 合作、配合 6. coordinate (v./n.) 協調 7. corporate (adj.) 公司的;集體的 8. incorporate (v.) 包含、納入 9. initiate (v.) 開始、發起;使入門 10. director (n.) 董事、主管、主任;導演 11. disrupt (v.) 擾亂、打亂 12. drastic (adj.) 激烈的;極端的 針對合作、協調的關鍵單字,深入分析如下: 1. Collaborate Collaborate 是最常用來表示「合作」的單字,意思是「與某人或某團體共同工作以達成目標」。強調的是共同努力的過程。 ✦collaborate with someone (與某人合作) ✦collaborate on a project (在某個專案上合作) 例句: The marketing and sales teams will collaborate on the new product launch. (行銷和業務團隊將合作推出新產品。) 2. Cooperate Cooperate 著重於「配合」,意思是「為了共同的目標而互相配合或提供幫助」。這個詞強調的是相互配合以達到順利運作。 例句: To ensure the project's success, all departments must cooperate with one another. (為了確保專案成功,所有部門必須彼此合作。) ✦比較:這兩個單字都有合作的意涵,細究兩者之間的差異,collaborate 帶有「一起創作或共同努力」的意味,通常指的是一個更積極、有創造性的合作過程。而 cooperate 則更傾向於「共同配合」以避免衝突,確保事情能順利進行,強調的是配合的行為本身。 3. Coordinate Coordinate 的意思是「協調」、「統籌」,通常指一個人或一個部門負責組織和安排各種活動與資源,強調的是管理、安排的動作,目的是讓各個環節能夠同步運作。 ✦名詞: coordinator (協調員、統籌者) 例句: The project manager is responsible for coordinating the efforts of all team members. (專案經理負責協調所有團隊成員的努力。) ✦總結比較。簡單來說: Collaborate :「一起合作做」某件事。 Cooperate :「一起配合做」某件事。 Coordinate :「安排別人做」某件事,確保事情能順利進行。 本集中英文稿與單字:https://reurl.cc/3M5R2L 下一集上架時間:10/13 18:00 Powered by Firstory Hosting

本集的十二個單字,與商務合約密切相關,分別是: Territory (n.) 領土;(業務)區域 Treaty (n.) 條約;協定 Vessel (n.) 船隻;容器 Warranty (n.) 保固;保證書 Consideration (n.) 考慮;體貼;報酬對價 Constrain (v.) 限制;約束 Conventional (adj.) 常規慣例的 Deceive (v.) 欺騙 Dealing (n.) 交易往來;處理方式 Defend (v.) 防禦;辯護 Genuine (adj.) 真正的;真誠的 Impede (v.) 妨礙;阻礙 補充: Consideration作「考慮、體貼」之用很常見,而在商務領域中,它也做「報酬對價」之解,這是大多學習者比較陌生的。 在商務合約中,consideration 是指契約雙方為了換取對方承諾而付出的「對價」。例: "The $100 down payment served as consideration for the purchase agreement." (這100美元的頭期款是該購買協議的對價。) 這裡進一步跟Compesation(報酬、補償)這個常見多益單字做比較: Compensation所指不僅是薪水,它是一個更廣泛的報酬方案。涵蓋薪水、獎金與福利等。例如在多益的招募情境,若公司說 "We offer a competitive compensation package."(我們提供具競爭力的報酬方案。)那麼它暗示的不只是薪水高,還包含其他優渥的福利。 另外,「補償」亦是其重要之義。例句: "He received a large amount of compensation for his injuries."(他因為受傷獲得了一大筆補償金。) 除了報酬,最後再針對常見的三個薪資單字做解析: Pay: 最口語化且通用表達薪水的單字 例句: "The new job comes with a better pay." (這份新工作有更好的薪水。) Salary: 指固定薪資,通常以「年薪/ 月薪」的形式表示,不會隨工作時數變動。 例句: "His annual salary is around $80,000." (他的年薪大約是八萬美元。) Wages:指工資,多與「時薪、日薪、週薪」相關,會隨工作時數或工作量改變。 例句: "The factory workers demanded higher wages." (工廠工人要求更高的工資。) 本集中英文稿:https://reurl.cc/3M5R2L 下一集上架時間:9/15 18:00 Powered by Firstory Hosting

上一集是三人對話的聽力訓練,這一集則是多益單字力的強化累積。 本集十個核心單字: inflation(n.)通貨膨脹 slump(n./v.)蕭條;暴跌;癱坐 alliance(n.)聯盟;合作關係 broker(n.)經紀人;仲介 commodity(n.)商品;原物料 commerce(n.)商業;貿易 customs(n. 複數)海關;報關手續 freight(n./v.)貨運;運送貨物 influx(n.)湧入;大量進入 logistics(n.)物流;後勤管理 補充:Custom與Customs這兩個意義容易混淆的單字。 Custom意思是「習俗、慣例」。指某地區、文化或族群「長期遵循的習慣」。 中世紀時,政府對進出口商品會依「傳統規定」徵稅,這些規定就叫做customs duties(習慣性的徵稅)。久而久之,處理這些關稅的機構和程序就被統稱為 Customs。 更詳盡的單字解析,請參照本集中英文稿:https://reurl.cc/3M5R2L 下一集上架時間:8/18 18:00 Powered by Firstory Hosting
