昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享seat這個小詞。兩種詞性,在新概念中作為名詞出現,在牛津教材中也會考察其作為動詞的用法。
作為名詞
在Webster字典中的解釋為:a place for sitting
1. 不同于具體的chair or sofa,側重于所坐的“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.
很多同學認為教室里最好的位置在角落處,因為這可以遠離嚴格的老師。
來看看新概念2中的應用:
在新概念第二冊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.
這里的seat正如上所述,側重“位置”,是position之意。大多數人認為電影院里最佳座位是中間的位置,你認為呢?
Many people would think the best seats in the cinema are the ones in the middle, what do you think?
2. 在Webster字典中的解釋為:something (such as a chair) that you sit on
泛指“座位”
e.g. There were seats for six people at the table.
餐桌前有六個人的座位。
an uncomfortable bicycle seat
一個舒服的自行車鞍座
a car with leather seats
帶有皮椅的車
3. 可以引申為“政府席位”
the seat of government/power
名詞用法不難理解,中學階段考試中還會遇到seat作為動詞的用法,并且為考試難點。
作為動詞,為vt. seat sb. 使…就坐
在Webster字典中的解釋為:to give (a person) a place to sit
I could seat you here if you wish.
如果你愿意的話,可以坐在這里。
既然為vt. 被動語態也很常用
She was seated in the front row.
她坐在前排。
不難發現,be seated在使用中就=sit (vi.)
原句可改為:She sat in the from row.
sit sat sat
The restaurant seats 120 (people).
這家飯店能坐下120人。
知識拓展:
deep-seated adj. 根深蒂固的= deep-rooted
seat belt 安全帶
love seat 情侶座
passenger seat 旅客席
window seat 靠窗座位
近義詞辨析:用seat或sit 適當形式填空:
The plans call for a stadium ____ 30,000 people.
key: seating
分析:首先判斷是vt. 句中不缺少謂語,則采用seating非謂語動詞,現在分詞做后置定語。
關于“坐下”的詞組總結:
Sit down, please. 用于上級對下級,命令性
Be seated. 更禮貌,正式場合使用
Take your seat 比較隨意,用于朋友間
give one's seat to sb. 給某人讓座
