615 sit，seat和be seated
① sit是不及物動(dòng)詞，意為“坐”，過去式和過去分詞都是sat。
Please sit down. 請(qǐng)坐下。
He sat in the sofa/in the chair/on the stool. 他坐在沙發(fā)上/椅子上/凳子上。
② seat可用作名詞，意為“座位”，have/take a seat表示“請(qǐng)坐，坐”；take one's seat指在娛樂場(chǎng)所（如電影院等）對(duì)號(hào)入座，one's不可省。seat作動(dòng)詞用時(shí)，為及物動(dòng)詞，意為“使坐下，使就座”，后跟名詞或反身代詞作賓語，可用于被動(dòng)語態(tài)。seat還可表示“容納……人”。
Please take a seat. 請(qǐng)就座。
They have taken their seats. 他們已就座。

Please sit down.
（為較隨便的說法）

（seat不能作不及物動(dòng)詞）
提示
sit down表示的動(dòng)作是非延續(xù)性的，不可同表示一段時(shí)間的狀語連用。比較：
She sat down there for an hour.
She sat there for an hour.
她在那里坐了一個(gè)小時(shí)。
比較
“在座位上坐下”可以說sit down on the seat，也可以說sit down in the seat。
