seated是一個(gè)比較特別的過去分詞,說它特殊一是因?yàn)樗脑~性尚有不確定性——它有時(shí)是過去分詞,有時(shí)又具有形容詞的性質(zhì),像是一個(gè)形容詞;二是因?yàn)檫@樣一個(gè)很少引人注意的過去分詞,在近幾年的高考英語考題中經(jīng)常“露臉”,一下子變成了一個(gè)熱點(diǎn)詞匯。下面我們先來看幾道高考題:
1. Please remain __________ until the plane has come to a complete stop. (山東卷)
A. to seat B. to be seated C. seating D. seated
2. Please remain __________; the winner of the prize will be announced soon. (遼寧卷)
A. seating B. seated C. to seat D. to be seated
3. Can those _________ at the back of the classroom hear me? (福建卷)
A. seat B. sit C. seated D. sat
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,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。
