2. seat也可作“所在地”“活动中心”解,常与介词of连用。
3. seat还可指议会、委员会的“席位,职位”。
4. 在骑马术语中, seat可作“骑姿”解。

词义辨析

n. (名词)

seat, bench, chair, sofa

• 这四个词所指并不相同:bench指长凳,可有背,也可无背; chair指有背的单人椅; seat指固定在汽车、火车、飞机、轮船,剧院、礼堂里的座位; sofa则指沙发。

v. (动词)

seat, sit

• 这两个词都有“坐”的意思。它们的区别是：seat作“使就座”解,是及物动词,一般和反身代词连用,或用于被动结构,强调坐在座位上, be seated是正式用语; sit 作“坐”解,与stand(站)相对,一般作不及物动词。例如:
• Sit down, please.(请坐)。
• 此外, seat还有“可容纳若干人”的意思,而sit无此义。例如:
• Don't just sit there watching—come and help me!别坐在那儿观看,过来帮帮我的忙吧!
• The hall will seat 200.这大厅将能容纳二百人。

seat，sit

• 这两个动词均含“坐”之意。
• seat及物动词，常与反身代词连用，常用过去分词seated形式。
• sit多用作不及物动词，用作及物动词时，可与seat换用。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他在桌边坐下,开始工作。

   误 He seated at his desk and began to work.

   正 He seated himself at his desk and began to work.

   正 He was seated at his desk and began to work.

   析 seat是及物动词,一般须接反身代词作宾语,或用be seated结构,表示“坐下,坐着”。
