2.There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes. 有几百位客人,他们都穿着正式的、颜色艳丽的衣服。
【知识点一】all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes
(1)"不定代词+过去分词",属于独立主格结构,在句子中做状语(dressed 是过去分词形容词化了, dress 与 all 之间是动宾关系)
(2)独立主格结构
①独立主格结构本身不是句子,但在语意上相当于一个句子,一般用逗号与句子主体部分隔开。独立主格结构的逻辑主语与句子的主语不同,它独立存在。
②常见的独立主格结构:
名词/代词+现在分词(表主动、进行)/过去分词(表被动、完成)/不定式(表将来)/形容词/副词/介词短语。
注意:前后两个句子的主语不一致时,要么用状语从句,要么用独立主格结构。
[练习]
(1)Everything _________(do),we went home happily.
(2)The lecture _________(give), a lively question-and-answer session([ˈseʃ(ə)n]环节)followed.
