1) 结构分析:
层次一:
主句: the site cataloged the most popular driving routes
修饰①:in the country【介短做定语,修饰driving routes】
修饰②:highlighting........and indicating.....times【and并列两doing短语,修饰整个主句,伴随】
修饰③:to make.....holiday 【to do做状语,修饰整个主句,表目的】
层次二:
修饰②内部:according to the season(doing做状语,修饰highlight,表方式)
结构总结:to do目的 +主句【嵌套介短定】+ 两doing并列【嵌套doing状】
易错点: indicating有同学会误以为跟according to并列,从语法角度来说可以与according to并列一起修饰routes,也可以跟highlighting并列一起修饰主句。但是从语义上来看,还是选择后者,因为如果是前者那么就不用加indicating了,直接 according to differen
