In the park, some old people were seen ______ on the benches, chatting happily.
A. having seated B. to seat C.seating D. seated
答案为 D。B 不行,为什么?请顺便解释一下seat 的用法,以及与 sit 的区别,说 seat 是及物动词,它就得用 seated 的形式,太迷茫了。谢谢!
要养成查词典的好习惯。seat是及物动词,意思不是“坐”而是“使...坐”。即主语使宾语坐(在某个位置)。如果用seat这个动词表示自己坐,就要用反身代词作宾语。如:
The mother seated the baby on her lap.
The baby was seated on the mother's lap.
I seated myself on the ground.
I was seated on the ground.
因此,一个坐在某处的人,和seat这个动词是被动关系,要用过去分词来表示。即"使坐"这个动作结束后的状态(坐着)。seated表示既被动又完成这样一种状态中。
sit是不及物动词,你熟悉它的用法,我就不用赘述了。
例如汉译英,他坐在地上。
He sat on the ground.
He was seated on the ground.
我看见他坐在地上。
I saw him sitting on the ground.
I saw him seated on the ground.

这位blgbox 网友:
你这个问题在一年前已经提问过,而且,类似问题也有不少网友提问。不知你为何再次提起?我想你的真正疑惑是:为何用be seated,为何用被动表达主动的意思?如果你还没有忘记的话,建议你再看看:

解答如下:
seat vt使坐下;使就座
(英文解释:If you seat yourself somewhere, you sit down)
He waved towards a chair, and seated himself at the desk.
他挥手指了指一把椅子,自己在书桌旁坐了下来。
(1) A seat B A使B坐下
(2)A be seated A使自己坐下=A sit down=A take a seat
(3)one seat oneself 某人使某人自己坐下=one sit down=one take a seat
(4)one be seated 某人使自己坐下=one sit down=one take a seat

(2)seat vt(房间、车辆)可坐…人,容纳…人
(英文解释:A building or vehicle that seats a particular number of people has enough seats for that number)
主语+seat+基数词+名词=主语可以给多少人/事物提供座位/容纳多少人/事物

Seat 和 Sit区别如下
seat和sit作为动词,都可以表示“坐”的意思。
(1) seat是及物动词,比较正式,常以被动形式表示主动意义。
He is seated between Jack and Tom.
她坐在杰克和汤姆之间。
Please be seated. (=Please seat yourself.) 请坐。
(2) sit通常作不及物动词用,比较口语化。
The students are sitting at their desks.
学生们正坐在课桌旁。
Sit down, please. 请坐。
Let's sit down and then you can say what's up.
咱们先坐下来,然后你把事情告诉我。
Now sit down and make yourself comfortable. You must be very tired.
现在坐下来,让自己舒服些,你一定很累了。
(3) seat还可作名词用(而sit只能作动词用),常见短语take a seat (相当于have a seat或take one's seat) ,意为“坐下,就座”。
Take your seat, please. 请就坐。
."Take a seat," he said in a bored tone.
“请坐,”他不耐烦地说道。
Won't you take a seat?
请坐好,好 吗 ?
'Pray take a seat, sir.'
“ 请坐, 先生. ”
. 'Jim,'said Dr Livesey,'take a seat.'
“ 吉姆, ”利维塞大夫说, “ 你坐吧. ”

请坐, 我们经理一会儿就来.
Come in please, and take a seat.
请进.请坐.
You can take a seat now.
现在你找个座位坐下吧.
Come in and take a seat.
请进来坐.
为什么“使自己坐下”是A be seated A,而不是A seated呢?为什么要被动呢?see sb seated on the benches 结构中 seated 是什么词?过去分词还是形容词?如果是过去分词,那不是被坐在....了么?为什么seat 常以被动形式表示主动意义被动形式怎么理解成主动意义?谢谢
seat vt. 使某人坐下
A 使B坐下= A seat B
某人使某人自己坐下=one seat oneself
别人是自己坐下=one be seated
