每日一句
Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution.
词汇突破
by-product [ˈbaɪ prɒdʌkt]
n. 副产品;附带产生的结果;意外收获
directive [dəˈrektɪv; daɪˈrektɪv]
n. 指示;指令
adj. 指导的;管理的
结构分析
本句是由 and 连接的两个简单句,这两个分句均是以 Only 开头的倒装句,and 表示并列。在第一个句子中,主干部分为 the by-product of the institution was noted,其中 only gradually 是副词,修饰 noted。在第二个句子中,主干部分为 this effect was considered,其中 only more gradually 修饰 considered,as a directive factor 是主语 this effect 的补足语,in the conduct of the institution 是介词短语作后置定语,修饰 directive factor。
参考译文
人们只是逐渐地注意到一种制度的副产品,而把这种影响视为一种制度的执行的指导因素,则是更加缓慢的过程。
