For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.
解词：
semiconductor：半导体
casualty： 伤亡，此处是“被国外产品击败的美国本土产业”。
析句：
该句带有一个表语从句，引导词是as though, 其表语从句中又套有两个并列的定语从句。全句主句部分的主谓结构是it looked...，as though（即as if好像）引导的从句是looked（看上去）的表语。表语从句中主语为the making of semiconductors，谓语为was going to be，而逗号之间的两个which从句是the making of semiconductors的非限定性定语。which America had invented从句中which作从句的宾语，which sat at the heart of the new computer age从句中which作从句的主语。
翻译：
人们曾一度感觉下一个全军覆没的似乎该轮到美国的半导体制造业了，而在新计算机时代有着核心作用的半导体正是美国人发明的。
