19考研英语：屠屠长难句（四十八）

1每日一句长难句
This development——and its strong implication for US politics and economy in years ahead——has enthroned the South as America’s most densely populated region for the first time in the history of the nation’s head counting.

2【分析】
破折号之间是插入语，This development是主语，has enthroned…as…是谓语结构，for the first time 和in the history of the nation’s head counting是两个状语。

3【词汇】
implication 影响

in years ahead 未来几年（写作词汇）

enthrone 登基<此处转译成“登上…的位置”>

head counting 人口普查=census

4【参考译文】
这种发展——以及其对美国政治、经济在未来几年的潜在的强有力的影响一一使得南部在全国人口普查历史中第一次成为人口最密集的地区。

5【明日长难句】
