【难句解析】

1. The Macao Tower， 338 meters tall， is the worlds 10th highest tower， with kinds of activities， such as eating and entertainment.

释义：澳门塔，高338米，是世界第十高的塔，塔內有饮食和娱乐等各种各样的活动。

点拨：such as常用来进行列举，并直接放在列举的名词之前，意为“例如，诸如此类的，像……那样的”，这类结构一般表现为“名词+such as+例子”。如果such as后接动词，通常用动名词。例如：

I know four languages， such as Japanese and English. 我懂四种语言，如日语、英语。

I like sports， such as playing basketball. 我喜欢运动，比如打篮球。

2. The Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high， making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world.

释义：澳门塔蹦极台有233米高，作为全世界最高的商业蹦极台而载入吉尼斯世界纪

录。

点拨：making it是现在分词作结果状语，表示一种必然性（自然结果）。making 可以改为 which makes，相当于一个表示前因后果的非限制性定语从句。例如：

He comes home late every evening， making his wife very angry. 他每天回来得很晚，这使他的妻子很生气。

3. If you are not daring enough to jump that height， you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor—its still amazing.

释义：如果你不敢从那么高的地方往下跳，你可以试试57层的天空步道。

点拨：enough 用作副词，意为“十分地;充分地;足够地;充足地”，置于被修饰的形容词、副词或动词之后，常与不定式或介词for连用，在句子中作状语，表示程度;修饰名词时，置于所修饰名词之前。在此句中，enough修饰动词dare。例如：

At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian. 六个月后，他学习得能看俄文版的文章和报道了。

The room is large enough to hold twenty people. 房间足够大，可以容纳20人。

I have enough money to buy a TV set. 我有足够的钱买台电视。

4. Well known as the “Las Vegas of the Orient”， Macao has 33 entertainment places.

释义：被誉为“东方拉斯维加斯”的澳门有33家娱乐场所。

点拨：known as是过去分词作伴随状语，与主语Macao是被动关系。过去分词一般可作时间、条件、原因、让步、结果、方式、伴随等状语，相当于一个状语从句，过去分词所表示的动作与句子主语构成被动关系。例如：

Opened in 1955， Disneyland in California is regarded as the original fun park. 1995年开园的加利福利亚迪斯尼乐园被看作是游乐场的起源。（时间状语）

Bitten twice by our dog， the postman refused to deliver our letters. 由于被我家的狗咬过两次，那个邮递员拒绝给我们送信。（原因状语）

5. You can find different themed entertainment places with their hotels and attractions around every corner of Macao， especially on Taipa Island.

释义：你可以在澳门的每个角落周边找到不同主题、带有酒店和景点的娱乐场所，尤其是在氹仔岛。

点拨：with their hotels and attractions around every corner of Macao不是with的復合结构，with their hotels and attractions作定语，修饰entertainment places，而around every corner of Macao作地点状语。例如：

The girl with blonde hair comes from the USA. 这个金发女孩来自美国。
