為何此一句英文不用形容詞而用副詞來修飾呢?

Question

原句-Customers packed the beautifully decorated restaurant,eager for a taste for Europe largest country.
饕客們擠滿了裝飾的美輪美奐的餐廳,渴望一嚐歐陸最大國的風味.

1.為何不用beautiful而要用副詞beautifully呢?

2.若寫成Customers packed the restaurant decorated beautifully,跟原句原意有何差異嗎?

3.eager for a taste for Europe largest country.此句是由形容詞子句簡化成形容詞片語嗎?

問題多多,還請解惑

Adam大大,不好意思另外再請教你
若我把這句改成獨立構句
The beautifully decorated restaurant was crowded, customers being eager for a taste for Europe largest country.

是否可行?
謝謝

1. 如果用beautiful 而不用 beautifully，則表示 restaurant 是由兩個形容詞來修飾，若是如此，a beautiful restaurant 可以理解，可是 a decorated restaurant 則莫名所以了。
其實，beautifully decorated 應該視為是一個 "副詞+過去分詞" 組合成的複合形容詞，如同 well-known, well-prepared 一樣，它只是少了個連字號罷了。
不加連字號的情況很多，相似的例子應該也很常見：
This is a poorly written article.
poorly-written 是"寫得很糟的"，若是 a poor written article 就不知在說啥了。
2. Customers packed the restaurant (which was) decorated beautifully
這裡變為後位修飾的分詞片語，不能說不對，只能說是不漂亮的寫法吧。
3. eager for . . . 並非由形容詞子句所省略的，若是的話，先行詞則會變成 restaurant 了。
eager所引導的形容詞片語是當作主詞(customers)補語來用的，它的還原應該是：
Customers packed the beautifully decorated restaurant, and they were eager for a taste for Europe largest country.

文法上我不會說你有錯，不過何不寫成：

The beautifully decorated restaurant was crowded with customers eager for a taste for Europe largest country.
(是 Europe 還是 Europe's?)

感覺較不拗口。

1.為何不用beautiful而要用副詞beautifully呢?
因為 decorated 是形容詞, 所以用副詞修飾.


2.若寫成Customers packed the restaurant decorated beautifully,跟原句原意有何差異嗎?
意思一樣但文法不通. 得改成 the restaurant that is decorated beautifullly.

3.eager for a taste for Europe largest country.此句是由形容詞子句簡化成形容詞片語嗎?
若把原本的這句拆開來, 應該是 customers packed.... customers were eager for a taste.... 只是因為主詞相同,所以就把它合併囉! 所以這還是子句, 不是片語.
