OG12-65看不懂，帮忙翻译一下，划一下结构，谢谢！！！

the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks是倒装，正过来就是the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building a breakwater of rocks that(定从）parallel to shore 这里是因为 breakwater of rocks that(定从）太长所以放到parallel to shore后面了。

bank11

In a plan ..., the Army Corps of Engineers (主语)proposed building（谓语） parallel to shore（定语前置，因为宾语太长）{a breakwater of rocks 【that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, (absorbing the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.)】}
