昂立外语【新概念培训】分享seat这个小词。两种词性,在新概念中作为名词出现,在牛津教材中也会考察其作为动词的用法。
作为名词
在Webster字典中的解释为:a place for sitting
1. 不同于具体的chair or sofa,侧重于所坐的“位置”
Many students will consider the seat in the corner of the classroom is the best one because it can keep them away from the strict teacher.
很多同学认为教室里最好的位置在角落处,因为这可以远离严格的老师。
来看看新概念2中的应用:
在新概念第二册L1中:
Last week I went to the theater. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting, but I did not enjoy it.
这里的seat正如上所述,侧重“位置”,是position之意。大多数人认为电影院里最佳座位是中间的位置,你认为呢?
Many people would think the best seats in the cinema are the ones in the middle, what do you think?
2. 在Webster字典中的解释为:something (such as a chair) that you sit on
泛指“座位”
e.g. There were seats for six people at the table.
餐桌前有六个人的座位。
an uncomfortable bicycle seat
一个舒服的自行车鞍座
a car with leather seats
带有皮椅的车
3. 可以引申为“政府席位”
the seat of government/power
名词用法不难理解,中学阶段考试中还会遇到seat作为动词的用法,并且为考试难点。
作为动词,为vt. seat sb. 使…就坐
在Webster字典中的解释为:to give (a person) a place to sit
I could seat you here if you wish.
如果你愿意的话,可以坐在这里。
既然为vt. 被动语态也很常用
She was seated in the front row.
她坐在前排。
不难发现,be seated在使用中就=sit (vi.)
原句可改为:She sat in the from row.
sit sat sat
The restaurant seats 120 (people).
这家饭店能坐下120人。
知识拓展:
deep-seated adj. 根深蒂固的= deep-rooted
seat belt 安全带
love seat 情侣座
passenger seat 旅客席
window seat 靠窗座位
近义词辨析:用seat或sit 适当形式填空:
The plans call for a stadium ____ 30,000 people.
key: seating
分析:首先判断是vt. 句中不缺少谓语,则采用seating非谓语动词,现在分词做后置定语。
关于“坐下”的词组总结:
Sit down, please. 用于上级对下级,命令性
Be seated. 更礼貌,正式场合使用
Take your seat 比较随意,用于朋友间
give one's seat to sb. 给某人让座
