用作缘由状语(名词+不定式)
An important lecture to be given tomorrow , the professor has to stay up late into the night. 由于明天要发表一个要紧的演讲,教授不能不熬夜到非常晚。
用作随着状语(名词+过去分词;改为并列句)

表示补充说明(名词+形容词)
A hunter came in, his face red with cold . 一个猎人走了进去,他的脸冻得通红。

备注:独立主格结构表示时间、条件或缘由时,等于一个状语从句,通常放在句首,表示缘由时还可放在句末;表随着情况或补充说明时,等于一个并列句,一般放于句末。
