如:
Many of the cafes operate in secret, with doors locked barred, turning them into fire traps.
句子成分:Many of the cafes (主语)operate(谓语) in secret(介词短语), with doors locked(locked作定语修饰doors) barred, turning(非谓语) them into fire traps.
turning是非谓语,逻辑主语是前面的doors locked,作doors的谓语。
这句话的大意是许多咖啡馆都是秘密经营,大门紧锁,成了火灾隐患。
正是因为大门紧缩,才会有火灾隐患。
