同学你好～

请点击蓝色的单词进入词典链接：
[w]Despite[/w] its [w]immensity[/w], it is both simple and [w]elegant[/w], [w]fulfilling[/w] its designer's dream to create 'an [w]enormous[/w] object drawn as [w]faintly[/w] as possible.
桥身尽管巨大却不乏简约,实现了设计师“现宏伟之物于虚无之境”的梦想。

句子成分可以这样理缩句并用相关名词替代it,its后,剩下的核心部分为：The Verrazano Bridge fulfills its designers' dream. 这样看来,其余成分都是修饰、形容以及补充的成分.

despite = in spite of，表示“尽管”，后面可以跟句子也可以直接跟名词，

fulfilling后面的句子是现在分词做状语表结果。
其他现在分词做状语的例子：
The bus was held up by the snowstorm, causing the delay.
her husband died in1970, leaving her with two children.
At last, he passed his examination, fulfilling his dream to go abroad. 他终于通过了这次考试，实现了出国的梦想(现在分词做结果状语，表示一种主动的概念。)

drawn as faintly as possible是过去分词做后置定语，修饰object。as + 形容词 + as possible 表示“尽可能的怎么样”。

希望可以帮到你～祝你学习进步！
