The wedding ceremony took place in a brightly decorated③ hotel room. There_were_hundreds_of_guests,_all_dressed_up④_in_formal,_colourful_clothes. According to⑤ tradition, the bride⑥ was wearing an eyecatching⑦ red silk sari.⑧
all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes 是独立主格结构,在句中作状语。其结构为:不定代词(all)+done( dressed up in+...)
I_did_not_understand_all_of_the_traditional_customs⑨,_but_a_few_made_a_deep_impression⑩_on_me. One was the bridegroom's⑪ entrance⑫ on a beautiful white horse.I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim's father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to⑬ her husband.It reminded me of⑭ my sister's wedding.Although_our_cultures_are_so_different,the_smiling_faces_are_the_same.
本句是并列句,由表示转折关系的并列连词but连接。前一分 句I did not understand all of the traditional customs 使用 了部分
