1、每日一句長難句（19）

padding-bottom: 133.33%;">

With economic growth has come centralization: fully 76 percent of Japan's 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two-generation households.

2、【分析】

with economic growth has come centralization是倒裝結構，主語是centralization,謂語是has come，with economic growth是狀語。冒號後面fully 76 percent of Japan's 119 million citizens是主語，live謂語，in cities是地點狀語，後面是where引導的定語從句。從句中community and the extended family是主語，have been abandoned是謂語，in favor of引導狀語結構。

3、【詞彙】

centralization n.集中化，中心化--->decentralize v.分散

extended family 傳統大家庭

abandon v.放棄

in favor of 支持，[引申] 由…取代

isolated a.孤立的[i我，sole自己，ate動詞詞尾]

4、【譯文】

隨着經濟的增長集中化已經顯現：日本1.19億公民中整整76％的人口定居城市,在這裏，原來的社區和多代同堂的大家庭已被摒棄，取而代之的是與外界疏於往來的、只由兩代人組成的核心家庭。

5、【明日長難句】
