譯文

蒂法尼坦言道：“直到我參加了一個(gè)有關(guān)多元化的研討會(huì)后，才意識(shí)到被我們放棄的那個(gè)人就是最佳人選。”

點(diǎn)睛

本句屬于“It is/was not until＋被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分＋that＋其他部分”的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。

原句的正常語序應(yīng)為：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，此類句型中通常只用until，不用till。

workshop本義指“車間，工廠”，這里的意思是“研討會(huì)，討論會(huì)”。pass over是“忽略，忽視”的意思。
