12．Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927as “silent”，the film hasnever been，in the fullsense of the word, silent．

(倒装accustomed though we are…=though we are accustomed…)

虽然我们习惯于将1927年以前的电影叫做“无声电影”，但是就“无声’’这个词的完整意义上说，电影从未真正的无声过。

分句1：Accustomed though we are tospeaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”

分句2：the film has never been silent

分句3：in the full sense of the word

本句的难点是在分句1内部有一个倒装，正常的语序应该是though we areaccustomed to speaking of the films made before 1927 as silent.分句3是一个插入语，嵌套在分句2中，所以本句的真正强调的核心是the film has never been silent。
