The reason they gave for not promoting me was that I was worth more to the company as a salesman than a manager. （出典 スーパートレーニング実践活用例文555） この英文で、全体の意味は理解できるのですが、they gave for not promoting me のところが、文法的に理解できません。それと、 I was worth more to the company as a salesman than a manager. は、 I was more worth to the company as a salesman than a manager. では、だめなのでしょうか？ 解説の方、よろしくお願いいたします。

前段の部分を、通常の語順に戻してみましょう。 They gave me the reason for not promoting me... わたしを昇格させない理由を、××だと説明してくれた。 the reasonを主語にして、それについて説明する目的格の関係代名詞的構文にしたのが、出典の文です。(The reason which they gave me...の"which"が省略されている) 次に、"I was more worth to..."ではだめかというご質問ですが、文法的に間違いです。どうしても"more"を前に持ってきたかったら、 I had more worth to the company... とする必要があります。 なぜ"be more worth"ではだめかというと、worthは"worth $10"というように、「○○だけの価値がある」という使われ方をする形容詞だからです。 これに対して、"I had more worth..."での"worth"は「価値」という意味の名詞です。

The reason they gave(彼らが示した理由） for not promoting me（私を昇進しないという） was that I was worth more to the company as a salesman than a manager（会社にとって私はマネジャーよりセールスマンとしてもっと価値があるということでした）. 以上で理解できるでしょうか？ I was more worth to the company as a salesman than a manager. は文法的に間違いではないでしょうが、使わない表現です。 慣用的な表現は： worth more than ＸがＸを上回る価値がある。 例： Working for the company is worth more than my current salary あの会社で働くのは現在の給料以上の価値がある The watch was worth more than the price I paid paidあの時計は支払った金額以上の価値がある（買い得［いい買い物］だった）

There was a time in my life when I would not have been so sensitive to my friend's feelings. I would have probably given her a sermon about the benefits of discipline and the dangers of overeating and poor nutrition. However, I would not have succeeded in doing anything but making my friend feel guilty and condemned. When she asked me to share ideas that might help her I did so, 『 but with an attitude that did not make her feel that I had it all together and she was a mess.』 I have discovered that one way to love people is to help them not to feel worse about the things they already feel bad about.

When the two fleets did join, they represented an awesome force and Hipper ordered the German fleet to sail north. Jellicoe interpreted this move as an attempt to lure the British fleet into either a submarine trap or a German mine field – or both. Therefore, he did not follow the retiring German fleet. Jellicoe decided to sail his fleet south to cut off the Germans when they tried to sail for home. Both fleets clashed again as the Germans sailed for port. The German ship “Lutzow” was sunk. “Seydlitz” and “Derfflinger” were badly damaged. The Germans claimed that Jutland was a victory for them as they had sunk more capital ships than the British. Jellicoe claimed that the victory belonged to the British as his fleet was still a sea worthy entity whereas the German High Seas fleet was not. The British did lose more ships (14 ships and over 6,000 lives) than the Germans (9 ships and over 2,500 casualties). But the German fleet was never again to be in a position to put to sea and challenge the British Navy in the North Sea.
