Answer:这里"tired" 虽然形似过去分词,但做的却是形容词.
Tired of sleeping on the floor,a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
可转化为:
A young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed because
he was tired of sleeping on the floor.
可以看出:be tired of ...厌烦...
如果是过去分词那么就表被动,可这里显然不是,所以当简化成非谓语形式做原因状语时只能理解成" being tired of "
补充问题回复：
surprised by his words,
这里surprised 是过去分词 (非谓语形式的过去分词本身表被动,这是为什么上面LZ所例句不能单纯的把"tired"看成是过去分词的原因)
还原成状语为：
As I was surprised by his words.
因为他的话让我感到吃惊.
