sit可以是及物动词,用如seat。意为 to cause to be seated : place on or in a seat。所以这种及物动词sit的过去分词,就可以表示使坐下的动作结束后的状态——坐着。在seatingsat只能二选一的情况下,我们就只能选sat这个过去分词来表示坐着的这种状态。sat的这种用法显然不如seatedsitting作状语常用,但语法上是没有错误的。所以好题老师的这道题的答案为 sat

He spent hours seated/sitting (seating/sat) with his friend under the bridge.

1】填“seated”为过去分词作“方式状语”。

备注:seat为及物动词,结构为“seat oneself=be seated”或者“seat sb=sb be seated

2】填“sitting”为介词in+动名词构成介词短语作“方面状语”。

备注:sit为不及物动词sit with sb和某人坐在一起。

1He spent hours seated with his friend under the bridge.

=He spent hours and he was seated with his friend under the bridge.

=He spent hours and he seated himself with his friend under the bridge.

2He spent hours sitting with his friend under the bridge.

=He spent hours (in) sitting with his friend under the bridge.

谢谢大鹏老师和陈老师参与。这道题应该选sat. 我是根据今天我在美国CNN网站的一篇文章里看到的一句话改编的:

She wasn't in the mood to spend six hours sat with someone who didn't understand the concept of personal space. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/chance-encounters-airplane-romance-new-york-california/index.html

我过去也见过类似的句子,我在外刊上查了一下,如:

Instead he just drove around all day and spent hours sat in the car.

Clive Sheldon, Love Loss and Oranges2016, p 66

...but he'd spent hours sat in his van — not asleep, just still, like a wax replica of himself.

Ella Medler Blood is Heavier 2016

I was happiest alone, and I spent hours sat on the sofa in my dress, reading a book, my legs curled beneath me, until one day a bright flash crossed my eyes and triggered alarm.

也许大家习惯了spend time doing sth,过去分词sat的这种表示状态用法不是很常见。
