Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them.Ø Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes 是主句的伴隨狀語(yǔ)；they had taken special precautions 是主干 把含有bedressedin的句子轉(zhuǎn)換成狀語(yǔ)

18、，其實(shí)就是去掉了系動(dòng)詞be，類似的結(jié)構(gòu)很多，例如：eg: HeisinterestedinEnglish. He listens to BBC every day.轉(zhuǎn)換為一個(gè)句子為：Interested in English，he listens to BBC every day.從語(yǔ)法的角度來(lái)分析，這種結(jié)構(gòu)中的過(guò)去分詞是及物動(dòng)詞，后面句子的主語(yǔ)是它的賓語(yǔ)，由于含有這些動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞的詞組：be+done已經(jīng)非常固定，所以我們可以不分析它而是直接去掉be，用done做狀語(yǔ)。Ø so that no one should recognize them 是目的狀語(yǔ)從句 =so that

19、people wouldnt recognized them=so that they would not be recognized by movie fans=so as to avoid being recognized=so as to prevent people from recognizing themshould 正式用法，推測(cè)未來(lái)時(shí)，語(yǔ)氣較強(qiáng)4.
