从句使用简略形式的原因是什么

问题描述

Often dubbed the world's oddest capital, Astana is about to steal a bit of the international spotlight.

老师好，请问，划线部分是从句的省略形式，那它不用从句的完全形式是因为作者不想太强调的从句部分吗？谢谢老师的回答。

老师答疑

陈老师：

Often dubbed the world's oddest capital, Astana is about to steal a bit of the international spotlight.

=As Astana is often dubbed the world's oddest capital, it is about to steal a bit of the international spotlight。

= Astana is often dubbed the world's oddest capital and it is about to steal a bit of the international spotlight。

参考译文：由于阿斯塔纳(哈萨克斯坦首都)被称作为世界最奇特首都，所以它正要打算窃取一点国际某体及公众的注意/关注。

以上为过去分词作状语用法，其逻辑主语为后面句子的主语，存在逻辑上主谓被动关系，所以用过去分词。

划线部分不是省略成分的从句，而是过去分词短语作伴随状语。

dub: Vt, 给。。。起外号。后接复合宾语。dub A B. 把A戏称为B。A is dubbed B。
