"Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite," these were stores "anyone could enter, regardless of class or background."
  【分析】复合句。句子主干为these were stores。介词结构 instead of …作状语,其中 catering to...作 intimate shops的后置定语;anyone could…又是省略引导词的定语从句修饰stores。
  【译文】与那些只满足有品位的精英人士需求的精品店铺不同,这些商店“无论阶层背景,人人皆可踏足其间。
  【点拨】intimate常用意为“亲密的,密切的”,本句中意为“精致的,优雅的”。
