wascausedpartlybytheheatofthetelevisionstudio,butmorebyfearofthefourpeopleseatedinfrontofher.【句型分析】runningdownherforehead分词短语作后置定语；which...studio非限制性定语从句，修饰sweat。2.Theystaredback,theirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext.Paraphrase：Theystaredbackandtheirfacesshowednocluethatcouldhelpherknowwhattheyweregoingtosaynext.在用分词短语做状语时，它逻辑上的主语一般必须与句子的主语一致。但有时它也可以有自己独立的逻辑上的主语，这种结构称为独立结构。本句中的theirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext是一个“名词+动词现在分词形式”的独立结构。本句中的独立结构表示伴随的动作，相当于withtheirblankfacesgivingnoclueastowhattheywouldsaynext。独立结构除表示伴随动作外，还可以用来表示时间、原因、条件、目的等。e.g.

Theshowerbeingover,wecontinuedtomarch.

阵雨过后，我们继续行进。3.Feelingdizzy,ZhangYuetookadeepbreath
