T: Yes. When in junior, you seldom use such a pattern. This is what we call past participle used as attribute, which equals “who were dressed in ” In this way the sentences will be short but more powerful. Now lets learn and make the following sentences.【模仿3】沿湄公河，我们看见一些穿着传统老挝风格服装的人。【初级水平】 Along the Mekong river，we saw some Laotians .They were dressed in wool clothes.【高中水平】Along the Mekong river，we saw some Laotians dressed in wool clothes.【欣赏4】only the flames of fire for company【翻译4】我希望下次能带上你去旅游。【初级水平】Next time, I hope to take you to travel together.【高中水平】Next time, I hope to take you for company.【欣赏5】At one point, we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds.【翻译5】黄昏时分，湄公河景色是如此美丽以至于我们觉得置身于童话世界一般。【初级水平】At dusk, the scenery along the Mekong River was so beautiful that we were in a fairy world.【高中水平】At dusk, the scenery along the Mekong River was so beautiful that we found ourselves in a fairy world.【欣赏6】We can hardly wait to see them.【翻译6】我们迫不及待地要参观一些名胜。【初级水平】We wanted to visit some places of interest very much. 【高中水平】We couldnt wait to visit some places of interest.【欣赏7】Well reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon, where our cousins will join us.【翻译7】我们到了老挝。这是一个风景秀美，人们过着平静的生活的国家。【初级水平】We reached Laos.
