2018考研英语长难句分析指导（二十六）

　　.However，the criminals quickly came to realize that the real value in the computers is in the chip which is remarkably portable and unidentifiable，so even when caught the police have trouble proving the theft.

　　结构分析:句子的框架是the fraternity…came to realize that…so…the police have trouble…。这是一个并列复合句，两个句子由so连接。在前面句子里that引导宾语从句，做realize的宾语;此从句中又有which引导的定语从句修饰the chip; so后面句子里when caught是过去分词做状语，when caught即when the thief was caught; proving是现在分词，修饰trouble。

　　译文: 但偷盗者认识到，电脑中真正值钱的东西是芯片(或叫集成电路片)，这是可以随身携带和无法识别的。即使当场被抓住，警察也难以证明那是偷来的。
