v.(动词)

sit的基本意思是“(使)坐”,引申可表示“(动物)蹲”“(鸟类)停落”“(照相或画像时)摆好姿势”“(在议会中)担任职务”等。

sit主要用作不及物动词,表示“坐着”的状态。sit也可用作及物动词,表示“使…坐下”,表示瞬间的动作,不可与表示一段时间的状语连用。

sit还可用作系动词,后接名词、形容词、过去分词或现在分词作表语。

sit可用副词充当宾语补足语。

v.(动词)那孩子尚小,还不能坐在桌旁。

误 The child is not old enough to sit on the table yet.

正 The child is not old enough to sit at the table yet.

析 sit at the table表示“坐在桌子旁边”,而sit on the table则表示“坐在桌子上”。

他正在参加一场重要的考试。

误 He is sitting an important examination.

正 He is sitting for an important examination.

析 be sit for sth 表示“参加某事”时, for不可省。

经理走进他的办公室,看到一个老人坐在椅子里等他。

误 When the manager entered his office, he saw an old man sitting in a chair waiting for him.

正 When the manager entered his office, he saw an old man waiting for him in a chair.

析 可删去分词sitting。因为in a chair已足以表示老人“坐”在椅子里了。

昨天夜里你到几点才睡?

误 How late did you sit last night?

正 How late did you sit up last night?

析 sit up 表示“熬夜”,为固定短语, up不能省。

她默默地坐着,等待他们的决定。

误 She sat silently, waiting for their decision.

正 She sat silent, waiting for their decision.

析 “默默地”是描述句子主语的状态,而不是描述动词表现的动作,故应用silent作表语,而不是silently作状语。

请坐。

误 Sit, please.

正 Sit down, please.

析 sit表示“坐”这一动作的状态,表示持续的动作。而sit down则表示“坐下”,表示瞬间的动作。

我没有椅子坐。

误 I have not got a chair to sit.

误 I have not got a chair to sit down.

正 I have not got a chair to sit on.

析 动词不定式修饰名词作后置定语时,该动词不定式与所修饰的名词是动宾关系。sit是不及物动词,接a chair时必须借助介词on。
