Question

Can someone explain it or translate it to me. This is from  TOPIK (example)읽기.
읽기: 운하는 배를 운항하기 위해 인공적으로 만든 물길이다. this is artificially made water route(water way) to control ("the canal"?) ship? or the lucky ship?)

Answer

운하는 배를 운항하기 위해 인공적으로 만든 물길이다. 
= 운하는 [[배를 운항하기 위해] 인공적으로 만든] 물길이다 = A canal is a waterway [artificially made [to sail ships]].
= A canal is a man-made waterway built to allow ships to sail through.

- 운하는 = a canal (is)
- 배를 운항하기 위해 = to sail ships through (adverbial phrase)
- 인공적으로 만든 = built artificially, man-made (인공적으로 modifies the verb-adjective form 만든 as an adverb)  
- 물길이다 = is a waterway.

Answer

the canal is artificially made water route to control ship
