seat作动词时的用法。

Answer 1

vt. 使就座 cause or help to sit
vt. 使就职 cause to assume or take office
vt. 修理…的座〔底部〕 repair the seat or bottom of
vt. 可容纳若干座位 (of a room, table, etc.) have room for seats for
vi. 置入另一部位 To rest on or fit into another part

seat, sit的区别
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
