288. "It wasn't until I attended a diversify workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person," Tiffany confesses.
英语四级译文:
蒂法尼坦言道:“直到我参加了一个有关多元化的研讨会后,才意识到被我们放弃的那个人就是最佳人选。”
四级词汇讲解:
本句属于“It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其他部分”的强调句型。原句的正常语序应为:I didn't realize the person we passed over was the perfect person until I attended a diversity workshop.需要注意的是,此类句型中通常只用until,不用till。
workshop本义指“车间,工厂”,这里的意思是“研讨会,讨论会”。pass over是“忽略,忽视”的意思。
