我刚刚逃离一个困境,却又一头陷入了更糟糕的境地。事情是这样的:我选择了在托莱多看上去是最好的饭店,在那里我用干脆利落的语言表示我要看旅游菜单。
This is a complex sentence,For here is used as a conjunction introducing a clause of reason,What seemed to be the best restaurant in Toledo is used as the object of chose; where I announced quickly and in a clear voice that I wanted the tourist menu is a non-restrictive relative clause modifying the best restaurant,The where-clause again has a that-clause as its object.

Technically here means according to the exact details of the rules and that-clause is a relative clause modifying a dinner; and advertised by the government is a past participle phrase modifying the price,If he did so can be paraphrased as if the tourist ordered a dinner at the price advertised by the government.Sample:Technically,your proposal is against the law.
