难句分析

• Come off the six-lane highway at the spaghetti 意大利面junction where Interstate 4 meets Highway 192, go past the ornamental water tower, and you are in Celebration, a town of the sort that America stopped building in the 1950s.

这是并行句，主语是u are。come off A, go pass B and you are in Celebration。

• A scheme in which residents got free computers in exchange for allowing their browsing activities to be tracked fizzled out once AT&T, Disney’s corporate partner for technology in the town, realised it had no use for the data, write Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins in “Celebration, USA”, an account of their first year living in the town in the late 1990s.
  存疑吧，why 主谓是 shceme 和fzzled out ?

这篇文章讲了美国迪斯尼打算建立世外桃源celebration town，终失败了。但是最虽然失败但本身对于美国新城市的发展还是起到积极作用这样。在查单词的时候偶然发现一个很好的网站，就是贴一些外国人常转发的小段子。类似朋友圈金句这样。
