Seated的用法小结

Seated的用法小结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“露脸”，一下子变成了一个热点词汇。下面我们先来看几道高考题：1.Please remain_until the plane has come to a complete stop. (山东卷)A.to seatB.to beseatedC.seatingD.seated2.Please remain_; the winner of the prize will be announced soon. (辽宁卷)A.seating B.seatedC.to seatD.to be seated3.Can those_at the back of the classroom hear me? (福建卷)A.seatB.sitC.seated D.sat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“座位”。其实，seat还可用作动词，且是一个典型的及物动词，其意为“给某人座位”“让人坐”或“能容纳” 句式：sb be seated 或 seat sb / oneself 。如：Seat the boy next to his brother.让那个孩子坐在他哥哥旁边。We can seat 300 in the auditorium.我们这个礼堂可容纳300人。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：他在窗户边坐下。误：He seated near the window.正：Heseatedhimself near the window.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。使她吃惊的是，她发现她丈夫坐在一个美丽姑娘的旁边。误：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.说明：若将误句中的seating改为sitting则也是正确的。下面请看几个含有seated的句子，注意体会其用法：Please stay remain seated.请不要站起来。Heseatedhimself at the writing table.他在写字台前坐下。Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen.女士们、先生们，请就座。He lifted the child and seated her on the wall.他把小孩举起来，让她坐在墙上。下面我们再来分析一下本文前面的三道高考题：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。第2题答案选B。remain seated意为“坐着不动”。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
