It was not until 1978 that Chinese people began to concentrate on economic development．

Answer 1

分析 It was not until 1978 that Chinese people began to concentrate on economic development．

解答 答案：It was not until 1978 that Chinese people began to concentrate on economic development．
题干给出了提示单词it，说明要用强调句型；直到…才…not…until…；集中精力concentrate on；经济建设economic development；用强调句型对时间状语until进行强调时，切记要把not一起提前；句意表达的是过去是事实，要用一般过去时态．

点评 翻译题在解题是首先要确定好句子的时态，然后要把握好短语表达，最后要注意句子结构．
