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。
