對(duì)于seated的用法，首先要從動(dòng)詞seat說起。同學(xué)們可能只知道seat的名詞用法，即只知道它表示“座位”。其實(shí)，seat還可用作動(dòng)詞，且是一個(gè)典型的及物動(dòng)詞，其意為“使……坐”或“能容納……”。如：
Seat the boy next to his brother. 讓那個(gè)孩子坐在他哥哥旁邊。
We can seat 300 in the auditorium. 我們這個(gè)禮堂可容納300人。
由于seat只用作及物動(dòng)詞，所以其后總應(yīng)有賓語，或用過去分詞。如：
他在窗戶邊坐下。
誤：He seated near the window.
正：He seated himself near the window.
說明：若將誤句中的seated改為sat則是對(duì)的，因?yàn)閯?dòng)詞sit為不及物動(dòng)詞。
使她吃驚的是，她發(fā)現(xiàn)她丈夫坐在一個(gè)美麗姑娘的旁邊。
誤：To her surprise, she found her husband seating next to a beautiful girl.
正：To her surprise, she found her husband seated next to a beautiful girl.
說明：若將誤句中的seating改為sitting則也是正確的。
下面請(qǐng)看幾個(gè)含有seated的句子，注意體會(huì)其用法：
Please stay [remain] seated. 請(qǐng)不要站起來。
He seated himself at the writing table. 他在寫字臺(tái)前坐下。
Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen. 女士們、先生們，請(qǐng)就座。
He lifted the child and seated her on the wall. 他把小孩舉起來，讓她坐在墻上。

第1題答案選D。由于seat用作動(dòng)詞時(shí)總是及物的，所以它的后面必須要用賓語，或用被動(dòng)語態(tài)或過去分詞，據(jù)此可排除選項(xiàng)A和C。由于不定式to be seated表示將來意義 初中化學(xué)，所以也不能選，故只能選D。
第2題答案選B。remain seated意為“坐著不動(dòng)”。又如：Please remain seated. 請(qǐng)不要站起來。Passengers are requested to remain seated till the aircraft stops. 在飛機(jī)停穩(wěn)前請(qǐng)乘客不要離開座位。
第3題答案選C。seated在此用作后置定語，seated at the back…可視為who are seated at the back…的省略形式。
