proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks
这是很明显的倒装,正序应该是这样的:
proposed building a breakwater of rocks parallel to shore
为何倒装呢?因为a breakwater of rocks的修饰语太多了,一直延伸到原句句尾。若写成这样:
proposed building 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 parallel to shore .
