desirable difficulty的概念是美国畅销书作者马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在David and Goliat中提到的一个概念，即有些困难和障碍可以帮助我们成长，与孟子所说“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行弗乱其所为……”。

2. 翻译：这个解决方案理论上来说非常可取，不过实际操作起来困难重重。
This solution is theoretically desirable but difficult to carry out practically. （自己）
The solution is highly desirable in theory but problematic in reality. （参考翻译）
分析：参考翻译讲究了一种对称，desirable in theory but problematic in reality，简洁对仗优美。学习了。我的造句将to carry out去掉，似乎形式上也可达到对称，但含义稍差，因为in 短语更好地表达了表语的范围。
2.生活场景应用：
