用法：be dressed in后面通常跟表示衣物的名詞或者名詞詞組，相當(dāng)于動(dòng)詞wear。

例句1：The policeman patrolling the streets was dressed in uniform.

在街上巡邏的警察穿著制服。

結(jié)構(gòu)分析：The policeman patrolling the streets是主語(yǔ)（patrolling the streets是-ing式詞組作后置定語(yǔ)），was dressed是被動(dòng)謂語(yǔ)，in uniform是主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。

例句2：Why does the man suggest the woman wear long sleeves?(2014年12月六級(jí))

為什么這位先生建議女士穿長(zhǎng)袖?

結(jié)構(gòu)分析：Why是狀語(yǔ)，the man是主語(yǔ)，does suggest是謂語(yǔ)，后接賓語(yǔ)從句，the woman是主語(yǔ)，wear是謂語(yǔ)，long sleeves是賓語(yǔ)。

短語(yǔ)：be envious of (envy)嫉妒

用法：be envious of表示“嫉妒，羨慕”，后面跟人或者物，同義短語(yǔ)有be jealous of，相當(dāng)于動(dòng)詞envy。

例句1：The girl is always envious of others’ accomplishment.

例句2：I really envy those who were successful when they were young.
