今天我们来说说这个unannounced，它长着一幅形容词的面孔，但是其实既可以做形容词，也可以做副词。
If a person's arrival somewhere is unannounced, it is sudden and unexpected.
如果一个人的到来，用unannounced这个词来形容，那就说明又突然又意外。

再来看一下这个解释：
If someone arrives or does something unannounced, they do it unexpectedly and without anyone having being told about it beforehand.
如果某个人意外地到来、或者意外地做了某件事，可以用这个短语，表示这个行为非常出乎人的意料，之前任何人都不知道。

比如今天关键句中，它就是一个副词的用法。
come to one’s door unannounced 未提前通知就去拜访某个人；
类似表达你也可以说：visit sb. unannounced
或者pay an unannounced visit to sb.

eg: She appeared unannounced and took control of the meeting.
