65 In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches,the Army of Engineers proposed building ?parallel to shore 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. 我想知道这句中的parallel是名词吗？to shore a breakwater of rocks是不是翻译成：去支撑石质的防波堤？那act as为什么不平行于"to shore "？而是平行于＂would rise＂？building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks应该怎么翻译呢？请指点我一下，谢谢啦。
