Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution.
这里的still表什么意思呢?是不是和more重复了?
不重复。still 表示 “程度更进一步”,可以修饰形容词或副词比较级,例如:still better,still more beautiful,still more carefully,still more gradually。
本句为了强调这个副词比较级,而加了 only,让only 修饰比较级后产生倒装,still 放在后面了。
