scared, cold 是形容词作伴随状语。表示主语实施谓语动作时伴随的
状态。

形容词与分词作状语的关系:
1. 形容词做原因状语, 有无being
区别不大:
Afraid of being caught ,the thief
hid himself under a bed.
Curious about everything ,We lookaround. Unable to answer the question,the students keep silent.
Being poor,he couldn't afford a TV set.(现在分词做原因状语) Poor ,he couldn't afford a TV set. (形容词做原因状语)
Being ill, I stayed at home.(现在分词做原因状语)
Ill, I stayed at home(形容词做
原因状语)
但过去分词做原因状语时不可加being 表示状态,加being 表示正在进行的动作:
Made of glass, the cup is fragile. Caught in the rain, he got wet all over.
Lost in thought, he almost ran into the car in front.
Being interviewed by the reporters, the manager has no time to see you.
2. 形容词做时间状语, 不可以加
being 。
Ripe ,these apples are sweet. 熟了时这种苹果很甜。 You had better eat vegetables fresh (= when they are fresh , 不可用being fresh)
The fruits can't be eaten raw (生的).(= when they raw, 不可用being raw)
3. 做伴随状语时,形容词和过去分词(其实他们已经形容词化了)可以
互换。但均不可加being 。
He got home late that night, hungry and tired.
After his journey from abroad,Richard Jones returned home, worn out .
4. 做方式状语时,不可以加being 。 但他们可以加-ly.
1)Brave and strong, the activists talked to workers outside the factory.

outside the factory.
2)Nervous , she tore open the letter.
Nervously, she tore open the letter.
3) Helpless ,we watched the house being destroyed before our eyes .
Helplessly ,we watched the house being destroyed before our eyes.
Sum up:
形容词除了作原因状语,其他情况下一般不加being 。而过去分词表示状态时一般也不加being(除非表示“正在被...”)
补:可用作伴随状语的几种方式
1.形容词
They all rushed up ,eager to help . She returned to work,unhappy . The thief hid himself in the corner, afraid of being caught. 小偷躲在角落里, 怕被人抓住.

不容忽视形容词作状语的句法功能
一般情况下,语法书中对形容词是这样描述的:用来修饰和说明名词或代词,表示人或物的性质、性质和状态,其语法功能是在句中可以作定语、表语、宾语补足语,而很少或根本没有提到可以作状语。但在英语实际运用中,形容词是可以用作状语。请看2008年高考英语全国卷II 单选题中有这么一道题: After the long journey, the three of the went back home, _______.
A. hungry and tiredly B. hungry and tired
C. hungrily and tiredly D. hungrily and tired
正确答案是:B 。该题考查的是形容词作状语,即考查了形容词(组)作状语。tired 是由过去分词转化来的形容词,也称分词形容词。形容词(组)作状语通常修饰谓语动词,具有副词功能,是中学英语重难点语法项目,也是高考常考知识点。高三复习备考时归纳总结这一结构的用法,熟悉其特征,可以更好地帮助同学们提高综合运用英语知识的能力。笔者结合平时的教学就这一知识点进行了一些归纳和况结,希望对同学们有帮助。

herself at a littl table by the window. (=As she was thirsty and eager to get a little rest, she went into the restaurant and ...)由于口渴,又渴望休息,她走进饭店,在靠窗的桌旁坐下。
二、作伴随状语,置于句首或句末均可。

五、作评注性状语,表示说话人的看法、态度和评价。
