The main source of my addiction is Taobao, China’s massive online shopping platform - a repository for everything from money guns to fake muscles, and everything in between. Its offerings are so varied and its vendors so diverse, that it makes Amazon look like a corner shop.
我的购物瘾主要来自中国大型线上购物平台——淘宝。它堪称一个包罗万象的仓库，从喷钞枪到仿真肌肉，应有尽有。淘宝商品种类繁多，商家一应俱全，相比之下亚马逊就像个街角小铺。
China’s massive online shopping platform作为同位语补充说明前文提到的Taobao。
随后，破折号引出进一步解释说明：a repository for everything from money guns to fake muscles, and everything in between，这里repository是名词，表示“仓库，宝库”。
My particular vice is mostly guitars and their associated paraphernalia and, much to my girlfriend’s chagrin, knock-off football shirts.
我剁手的典型惯犯主要是买吉他及其周边产品，以及我女友看不惯的山寨球衣。
