wascausedpartlybytheheatofthetelevisionstudio,butmorebyfearofthefourpeopleseatedinfrontofher.【句型分析】runningdownherforehead分詞短語作后置定語；which...studio非限制性定語從句，修飾sweat。2.Theystaredback,theirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext.Paraphrase：Theystaredbackandtheirfacesshowednocluethatcouldhelpherknowwhattheyweregoingtosaynext.在用分詞短語做狀語時，它邏輯上的主語一般必須與句子的主語一致。但有時它也可以有自己獨立的邏輯上的主語，這種結(jié)構(gòu)稱為獨立結(jié)構(gòu)。本句中的theirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext是一個“名詞+動詞現(xiàn)在分詞形式”的獨立結(jié)構(gòu)。本句中的獨立結(jié)構(gòu)表示伴隨的動作，相當(dāng)于withtheirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext。獨立結(jié)構(gòu)除表示伴隨動作外，還可以用來表示時間、原因、條件、目的等。e.g.
