2019-05-09 “事半功倍”怎么译？

“事半功倍”这个成语怎么翻译呢？今天在CSBA的一个报告中看到一句话，可以用作这个成语的译文。

原文：In each of the above cases, relatively modest investments of money coupled with systems that have already been procured (e.g., the X-47B and DDG-1000) or are already being procured (e.g., LRASM, Naval Strike Missile) could reap disproportionate rewards.

译文：在上述每一种情况下，相对适度的资金投入加上已经采购的系统（例如X-47B和DDG-1000）或正在采购的系统（例如远程反舰导弹、海军打击导弹）可以取得事半功倍的效果。

所以，“事半功倍”可以译作reap disproportionate rewards。
