1.It all started after his father decided that there was no longer enough room in east Texas for his family.

no longer

(1) 用作副词表示时间上的“不再”，可用no longer, not…any longer, not…any more：

He knows that he is no longer young. 他知道自己不再年轻。

She could no longer go to school. 她不再能上学了。

This is no longer a distant dream. 这已不再是遥远的梦。

I can’t wait any longer. 我不能再等了。

We don’t live here any more [longer]. / We no longer live here. 我们不住在这里了。

He once knew her, but they are no longer friends. 他过去认识她，但现在不再是朋友了。

no longer 通常位于句中的实意动词之前，动词be、助动词和情态动词之后，有时也可位于句末或句首(用于句首时，其后用倒装语序)：

He no longer loves her. / He loves her no longer. / No longer does he love her. 他再也不爱她了。

【注】原来no more 也可表示时间上的“不再”(但要与非延续性动词连用，且位于句末)，但在现代英语中，no more 一般不这样用。
