2. When a blue whale dies at sea, it becomes food for many kinds of animals living in and around the sea. 當一頭藍鯨在海洋中死去時，它會成為生活在海洋里及海洋周邊的多種動物的食物。
living in and around the sea 整體是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語，修飾前面的 animals。相當于一個定語從句 which/that live in and around the sea。

standing there 修飾 the boy，可轉(zhuǎn)換為 The boy who/that is standing there is my brother.
