听力原文

288. "It wasn't until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person," Tiffany confesses.

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。”

点睛

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。

考点归纳

与pass有关的短语有:

pass away意为“去世”。如:

Jack feels very sad because his father passed away last night. 杰克非常伤心,因为他爸爸昨晚去世了。

come to pass意为“发生;实现”。如:

Because of your carelessness, a lot of problems of the products have come to pass. 由于你的疏忽,产品出现了很多问题。

pass one's lips意为“被说出”。如:

Gossip always passes those girls' lips. 那些女孩总是说人闲话。
