 <p> 　　seated是一个比较特别的过去分词，说它特殊一是因为它的词性尚有不确定性&mdash;&mdash;它有时是过去分词，有时又具有形容词的性质，像是一个形容词；二是因为这样一个很少引人注意的过去分词，在近几年的高考英语考题中经常&ldquo;露脸&rdquo;，一下子变成了一个热点词汇。下面我们先来看几道高考题：<br /> <br /> 　　1. Please remain __________ until the plane has come to a complete stop. (山东卷)<br /> <br /> 　　A. to seat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B. to be seated&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C. seating&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D. seated<br /> <br /> 　　2. Please remain __________; the winner of the prize will be announced soon. (辽宁卷)<br /> <br /> 　　A. seating&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B. seated&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C. to seat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D. to be seated<br /> <br /> 　　3. Can those _________ at the back of the classroom hear me? (福建卷)<br /> <br /> 　　A. seat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B. sit&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C. seated&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D. sat<br /> <br /> 　　对于seated的用法，首先要从动词seat说起。同学们可能只知道seat的名词用法，即只知道它表示&ldquo;座位&rdquo;。其实，seat还可用作动词，且是一个典型的及物动词，其意为&ldquo;使&hellip;&hellip;坐&rdquo;或&ldquo;能容纳&hellip;&hellip;&rdquo;。如：<br /> <br /> 　　Seat the boy next to his brother. 让那个孩子坐在他哥哥旁边。<br /> <br /> 　　We can seat 300 in the auditorium. 我们这个礼堂可容纳300人。<br /> <br /> 　　由于seat只用作及物动词，所以其后总应有宾语，或用过去分词。如：<br /> <br /> 　　他在窗户边坐下。<br /> <br /> 　　误：He seated near the window.<br /> <br /> 　　正：He seated himself near the window.<br /> <br /> 　　说明：若将误句中的seated改为sat则是对的，因为动词sit为不及物动词。<br /> <br /> 　　使她吃惊的是，她发现她丈夫坐在一个美丽姑娘的旁边。<br /> <br /> 　　误：To her surprise, she found her husband seating next to a beautiful girl.<br /> <br /> 　　正：To her surprise, she found her husband seated next to a beautiful girl.<br /> <br /> 　　说明：若将误句中的seating改为sitting则也是正确的。<br /> <br /> 　　下面请看几个含有seated的句子，注意体会其用法：<br /> <br /> 　　Please stay [remain] seated. 请不要站起来。<br /> <br /> 　　He seated himself at the writing table. 他在写字台前坐下。<br /> <br /> 　　Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen. 女士们、先生们，请就座。<br /> <br /> 　　He lifted the child and seated her on the wall. 他把小孩举起来，让她坐在墙上。<br /> <br /> 　　下面我们再来分析一下本文前面的三道高考题：<br /> <br /> 　　第1题答案选D。由于seat用作动词时总是及物的，所以它的后面必须要用宾语，或用被动语态或过去分词，据此可排除选项A和C。由于不定式to be seated表示将来意义，所以也不能选，故只能选D。<br /> <br /> 　　第2题答案选B。remain seated意为&ldquo;坐着不动&rdquo;。又如：Please remain seated. 请不要站起来。Passengers are requested to remain seated till the aircraft stops. 在飞机停稳前请乘客不要离开座位。<br /> <br /> 　　第3题答案选C。seated在此用作后置定语，seated at the back&hellip;可视为who are seated at the back&hellip;的省略形式。</p>
