Last year, the city announced severe measures meant to hold e-bike riders and restaurants that employ the riders responsible.

参考译文：去年，纽约市宣布了几项严格措施，旨在让骑手及聘请骑手的餐馆负起责任。

解析如下：

(1)meant 为过去分词作后置定语修饰前面的名词“meansures”相当于定语从句“which were meant to hold e-bike riders and restaurants that employ the riders responsible”

(2)hold sb/oneself responsible (for sth)让某人/某人自己负责任(某事）

He does not hold himself responsible for his wife's death.

他认为他不应对他妻子的死负责.

They will have to hold themselves responsible for the incident.

他们将不得不对这事件负责.

It's impossible to hold any individual responsible.

不可能归咎于任何个人。

(3)that employ the riders为定语从句修饰名词“restaurants”that为关系代词代替先行词“restaurants”并在定语从句作主语成分
