難句分析

  • Come off the six-lane highway at the spaghetti 意大利面junction where Interstate 4 meets Highway 192, go past the ornamental water tower, and you are in Celebration, a town of the sort that America stopped building in the 1950s.

這是并行句,主語是u are。come off A, go pass B and you are in Celebration。

  • A scheme in which residents got free computers in exchange for allowing their browsing activities to be tracked fizzled out once AT&T, Disney’s corporate partner for technology in the town, realised it had no use for the data, write Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins in “Celebration, USA”, an account of their first year living in the town in the late 1990s.
    存疑吧,why 主謂是 shceme 和fzzled out ?

這篇文章講了美國迪斯尼打算建立世外桃源celebration town,終失敗了。但是最雖然失敗但本身對于美國新城市的發展還是起到積極作用這樣。在查單詞的時候偶然發現一個很好的網站,就是貼一些外國人常轉發的小段子。類似朋友圈金句這樣。
