　　【分词作状语的用法】

　　当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一样时，可直接省略从句的主语，并把从句的谓语改成分词(主动语态改成现在分词，被动语态改成过去分词)，从而构成分词作状语结构。

　　【例1】When I see Dad working so hard, I could not help bursting into tears.

　　→ Seeing Dad working so hard, I could not help bursting into tears.

　　【例2】Because I was moved by the kids in Wenchuan, I decided to donate all my money to them.

　　→ Moved by the kids in Wenchuan, I decided to donate all my money to them.
