指代前文的“The Sydney Opera House(悉尼歌剧院)”
同样指代 “The Sydney Opera House”,说明是 “悉尼歌剧院的艺术设计”。
指代前文的“People(人们)”,即 “人们在本梅隆餐厅用餐后能获得难忘体验” 。
Language points
No other structure in the world was built with so much of this new material before. 在此之前,世界上从未有其他建筑使用过这么多这种新型材料。
【点拨】“No other structure in the world”表示“世界上没有其他建筑”; “so much of this new material”是“这么多这种新型材料”,“so much”修饰不可数名词“material”;“before”是副词,意为“以前;过去”,在句中作时间状语,整体句子描述过去的一种情况,用一般过去时。
