句子問題 given

" The figure given shows the birth rates of China and the USA between 1920 and2000.'
這裡的given是過去分詞，當名詞figure的修飾語，屬形容詞性質。

" Given are two column graphs comparing the rates of secondary and tertiary education among males and females in various different parts of the world.
這裡的given也是過去分詞，當主詞補語，因為倒裝，所以才移到句子的最前面。倒裝的原因是主詞加上修飾語（comparing A and B）後太長，為免頭重腳輕，所以句子倒裝。

Given that conflict is inevitable, we rised to learn how to manage it.
這裡的given才是介系詞(preposition)的用法，given = because of

" Given (that) the city was ruined through the storm, the mayor announces that the city is in state of emergency."
這裡的given = because of，是介系詞（前置詞 or preposition）的用法。因為不屬於分詞構句的用法，所以可以不考慮其主詞是否與主句相同的問題。

咁就第二句既問題，過去分詞係咪可隨意同主詞調位? 咁就等於倒裝句?

廣東話還蠻神似台語的，哈哈
