1. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in formal, colorful clothes. (line 5)
思考:如何理解句中的 all dressed up
该句中,从all开始至句末的部分是一独立主格结构。
常见的独立主格结构是由“名词或代词加上非谓语动词”构成。该句中dressed up是非谓语动词,为过去分词形式,完整谓语结构为sb. be/get dressed up,
因此逻辑主语all是词组dress up的宾语。
His hand _________(wave) in the air, the little boy ran away.
The test __________(finish), we began our holiday.
Weather ___________(permit), we are going to visit the museum tomorrow.
