19考研英語：屠屠長難句（五十九）

1每日一句長難句
Adding a Bluetooth chip to a phone now costs very little—around $2, down from $20 in 2001—but allows the manufacturer to increase the price of the handset by far more, and opens up a new market for high-margin accessories

2【結構分析】
破折號之間是插入語，作上文costs very little的具體解釋說明。Adding a Bluetooth chip to a phone是非謂語動詞作主語，costs…but allows…, and opens up…是並列結構。

3【詞彙】
opens up a new market for 開闢…的市場

high-margin 高利潤

accessory 配件，配飾

4【參考譯文】
在手機裏添加一個藍牙芯片的成本很低——只需要2美元左右，而2001年是20美元——但能使製造者遠遠提高手機現有的價格，並且打開一個高利潤附件的新市場。
