MPA考研英语每日一练之考研英语长难句（4）

考研英语长难句：

as time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as institutional, with display becoming sharper and storage capacity increasing.

译文：随着时间的推移，电脑体积越来越小，功能越来越强大，它们成为了“个人”电脑和机构团体使用的电脑，其显示器越来越清晰，存储容量也越来越大。

点睛：as time went by为时间状语从句。as well as institutional为补语。介词短语with...作句子的伴随状语，其中display是名词，意为“显示器”。

考研英语长难句：

it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre-electronic medium, following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the company of the periodical.

译文：直到19世纪，报纸才成为电子时代之前的主流媒体。报纸出现在小册子和图书之后，和期刊同时出现。

点睛：句中包含it is…that.…的强调句式，被强调的是not until the 19th century这一时间状语，that之后的部分保持正常陈述语序。现在分词短语following...作句子的伴随状语，其中in the wake of意为“紧跟，效仿”，in the company of意为“伴随，陪伴”。

考点归纳：not until的强调结构有以下两种形式：

*it is not until...that...

it was not until he told me that i knew it,

直到他告诉我，我才知道。、

*not until置于句首，后面用倒装结构表强调：

not until he told me did i know it.

直到他告诉我，我才知道。
