It is much easier to say “Great idea!” when a terrific solution has been put forward by someone on your team, than it is to take the time to explain why an employee’s favorite brainchild isn’t going anywhere except the circular file.
【核心词汇】
terrific a.极好的,很棒的
solution n.解决方案,溶液
favorite a.最喜爱的,中意的
put forward提出
brainchild点子,想法
circular file废纸篓
【结构分析】
本句成分复杂。以逗号为切入点,得到一个比较级结构It is much easier to say “Great idea!” ...than...。It是形式主语,前半部分的真正主语由不定式结构to say “Great idea!”...充当,这里包含一个when引导的时间状语从句when a terrific solution has been put forward by someone on your team,使用了被动语态的现在完成时,在翻译时,我们将状语提前,且化被动为主动。后半部分真正主语为to take the time to explain...,explain后的宾语是why引导的宾语从句why an employee’s favorite brainchild isn’t going anywhere except the circular file。
【参考译文】
当团队中的某个人提出极好的解决方案时,说“好主意”要比花时间解释为什么一个职员最喜欢的想法最终被抛弃容易得多。
