對于seated的用法，首先要從動詞seat說起。同學(xué)們可能只知道seat的名詞用法，即只知道它表示“座位”。其實，seat還可用作動詞，且是一個典型的及物動詞，其意為“使……坐”或“能容納……”。如：
Seat the boy next to his brother. 讓那個孩子坐在他哥哥旁邊。
We can seat 300 in the auditorium. 我們這個禮堂可容納300人。
由于seat只用作及物動詞，所以其后總應(yīng)有賓語，或用過去分詞。如：
他在窗戶邊坐下。
誤：He seated near the window.
正：He seated himself near the window.
說明：若將誤句中的seated改為sat則是對的，因為動詞sit為不及物動詞。
使她吃驚的是，她發(fā)現(xiàn)她丈夫坐在一個美麗姑娘的旁邊。
誤：To her surprise, she found her husband seating next to a beautiful girl.
正：To her surprise, she found her husband seated next to a beautiful girl.
說明：若將誤句中的seating改為sitting則也是正確的。
下面請看幾個含有seated的句子，注意體會其用法：
Please stay [remain] seated. 請不要站起來。
He seated himself at the writing table. 他在寫字臺前坐下。
Please be seated, ladies and gentlemen. 女士們、先生們，請就座。
He lifted the child and seated her on the wall. 他把小孩舉起來，讓她坐在墻上。
下面我們再來分析一下本文前面的三道高考題：
第1題答案選D。由于seat用作動詞時總是及物的，所以它的后面必須要用賓語，或用被動語態(tài)或過去分詞，據(jù)此可排除選項A和C。由于不定式to be seated表示將來意義 初中化學(xué)，所以也不能選，故只能選D。
第2題答案選B。remain seated意為“坐著不動”。又如：Please remain seated. 請不要站起來。Passengers are requested to remain seated till the aircraft stops. 在飛機(jī)停穩(wěn)前請乘客不要離開座位。
第3題答案選C。seated在此用作后置定語，seated at the back…可視為who are seated at the back…的省略形式。
