[重点句型]
1. As you can imagine, getting burnt can lead to very serious injuries.
正如你想象的那样，烧伤会导致非常严重的伤害。
句中As you can imagine 是关系代词as引导的非限制性定语从句，as指代整个主句的内容，作imagine的宾语。
(1)as引导非限制性定语从句时，指代整个主句的内容，置于主句的前、中、后均可，意为“正如……”。
(2)as在非限制性定语从句中作主语时，通常可用it作形式主语，后接that引导的主语从句或用what引导的主语从句来转换。
(3)引导限制性定语从句。这时，其先行词的前面通常有such，the same 修饰，构成the same…as，such…as结构。
例句
①This man, as you know, is good for nothing.
你也知道，这个人一无是处。
②He borrowed the same book as the one I am reading.
他借的书和我正在读的那本一样。

3. Chen Wei, a high school student in Beijing, had his dinner interrupted when he heard someone screaming from another table.
陈伟是北京的一名高中生，当他听到另一张桌子上有人在尖叫时，他的晚餐被打断了。
句中had his dinner interrupted是“have＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，his dinner与动词interrupt之间为被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。
(1)have/get sth. done可以表示：使某事被做(主语有意识的行为，可能是主语自己做，也可能是让别人做)；遭遇/经历(此事违背主语的意愿)。
若宾语和宾补之间是主动关系则用：
(2)have sb. do sth. (do强调做某事这一事实)
(3)have sb./sth. doing (doing强调持续进行某一动作)
例句
①There’s something wrong with my computer, so I have to have/get it repaired．

have sth. done相当于make/get sth. done；不管“have sth. done”结构表示何种意义，sth.与done之间都存在着逻辑上的动宾关系。

8. 现在分词作状语时的注意事项
(1)现在分词的时态
现在分词作状语时，要注意分词的时间性，是用现在分词的一般式(doing)，还是用完成式(having done)。
①当现在分词的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生时，用分词的一般式。
Walking in the street, I met an old friend of mine.

Having finished the letter, he went to post it.
他写完信后就把它寄了出去。(having finished是先发生的，went是后发生的)
(2)现在分词的语态
使用现在分词的主动式还是被动式，这主要取决于现在分词和句子主语之间的关系。句子的主语就是分词的逻辑主语。
Having been shown around the factory, they were very happy.(现在分词的被动式)
被领着参观了工厂后，他们很高兴。
Having finished his homework，he went to bed.(现在分词的主动式)
完成了作业后，他上床睡觉。

例句
Judging from his behavior, he must be mad.
从他的行为来判断，他一定是疯了。
