Answer 1

Miss Longfield warned 主句
that a generation of children risked
growing up
‘worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic life
styles they follow on platforms ,
and increasingly anxious about
switching off due to the constant
demands of social media’.宾语从句
根据以上断句，这是个主谓宾结构的句子，that 引导的整个句子是宾语从句，在宾语从句中，又包含了主谓宾状结构的句子，从句谓语动词是 risked，worried....and increasingly anxious.....是两个并列状语用来说明从句主语a generation of children主语所处的状况，即形容词作状语。they follow on the platform 又是个定语从句，修饰 life styles.
参考译文：朗菲尔德警告称，这一代孩子在追随不切实际的生活方式，这让他们对自己的外表和形象感到担忧，再加上社交媒体不断要他们点赞，也让他们对关闭社交媒体越来越焦虑，这些都使这一代孩子面临成长危机。

对您的回答我大部分同意，唯一跟您意见不一致的是我不认为worried about是做状语，我认为改成worrying about做状语更合适。您觉得呢？

追答

用worried 没错，因为分词作状语，分词的逻辑主语就是句子主语 (a generation of children)，表示人处于某种状态，用过去分词。
eg. He hurried home , worried about the safty of his family.

追问

过去分词做状语，其逻辑主语必须是被动的对象。你举的这个例子worried的逻辑主语是he，这两者支之间是主动的关系而非被动。我也找了一些过去分词做状语的例子，比如：
Caught in a heavy rain, he was all wet.

追答

那你怎么理解这些主系表结构的句子，eg.He is surprised to see me.
I am interested in English.
We are tired .
表示主语人处于某种状态，需要用过去分词，而表示主语物的特征才会用现在分词.
eg.
The situation is worrying
and I am worried about it .
