Από ερώτηση που έγινε σε άλλο φόρουμ ανακάλυψα ότι είναι πολύ διαδεδομένη η έκφραση ανταποδοτική εμπειρία και, με λιγότερα κι από τα μισά ευρήματα, η παρεμφερής αποδοτική εμπειρία.
Στα αγγλοελληνικά λεξικά έχω τις εξής αποδόσεις για το rewarding:
ικανοποιητικός
που σε ανταμείβει
που ικανοποιεί
που αξίζει τον κόπο / που άξιζε τον κόπο
Δηλαδή ή το ισοπεδωμένο ικανοποιητικός ή περιφράσεις. Στο λεξικό συνωνύμων της Οξφόρδης γράφει:
rewarding
satisfying, gratifying, worthwhile, enriching, enriched, fruitful, worthwhile; profitable, advantageous, productive, gainful: Laurence says that his most rewarding experience has been seeing his children again.
Πάμε πιο βαθιά (Longman, Macmillan, OALD)
Μπορούμε λοιπόν να μιλήσουμε για μια αποδοτική εμπειρία (δηλ. που απέφερε κέρδη) ή για μια ανταποδοτική εμπειρία, που π.χ. σε επιβραβεύει για τους κόπους σου; Ή να μείνουμε σε περιφράσεις του είδους «εργασία / εμπειρία που σε γεμίζει χαρά και ικανοποίηση»;
Στις εφημερίδες δεν βρήκα σχετική αναφορά, αλλά μήπως είναι χρήσιμες αυτές οι μονολεκτικές αποδόσεις;
