“with+宾语+不定式”这类 with 复合结构的一个用法特点是：其中的不定式通常用主动形式表示被动意义。又如：

The workmen are sitting around with nothing to do. 工人们闲坐着没事干。

He was a high-earning broker with money to burn.  他是高收入的经纪人，有花不完的钱。

With over 80 beaches to choose from, you are sure to find a place to lay your towel.  有 80 多个海滩可供选择，你一定能找到一处满意的。

With so many new animals to care for, larger premises were needed. 要照顾这么多的新动物，需要很多更大的房屋及其周围的土地。
