A two-seater is a thing you sit on — a car, a plane, a sofa — that is built for exactly two people. It is a noun: 'He drives a two-seater.' You can also use it before another noun, like an adjective: 'a two-seater sports car', 'a two-seater sofa'. Note the hyphen, and note that the word before 'seater' stays singular: two-seater, never 'twos-seater'.

A two-seaterTwo-seater is a thing you sit on指的是一個你會坐在上面的東西——a car, a plane, a sofa車子、飛機、沙發——that is built for exactly two people是特別為剛好兩個人設計的。It它 is a noun是名詞：'He drives a two-seater.'「He drives a two-seater（他開一台two-seater）」。You你 can also use it before another noun也可以把它放在另一個名詞前面，like an adjective像形容詞一樣用：'a two-seater sports car'「a two-seater sports car（雙人座跑車）」, 'a two-seater sofa'「a two-seater sofa（雙人沙發）」。Note要注意 the hyphen連字號，and note也要注意 that the word before 'seater' stays singular「seater」前面的字要維持單數：two-seater是two-seater，never 'twos-seater'不是「twos-seater」。

When people say 'a two-seater' with no other word, the thing they mean depends on where the conversation is.

When people say當人們說 'a two-seater' with no other word「a two-seater」、前面沒有加其他字的時候，the thing they mean他們指的東西 depends on where the conversation is要看當下是在講什麼話題。

Talking about cars, it means a small sporty car with no back seats — and that carries a feeling with it: fun, a bit expensive, not for a family. Talking about furniture in a shop, it means a small sofa (British shops write 'two-seater sofa' on the label; in Taiwan and the US you would more often hear 'loveseat' for the same thing). Talking about small planes, it means a plane for a pilot and one passenger.

Talking about cars講車子的時候，it它 means a small sporty car with no back seats指的是一台沒有後座的小型跑車——and而且 that carries a feeling with it這帶有一種感覺：fun, a bit expensive, not for a family好玩、有點貴、不是給一家人坐的。Talking about furniture in a shop講店裡的家具的時候，it它 means a small sofa指的是一張小沙發 (British shops write 'two-seater sofa' on the label（英國店家的標籤上會寫「two-seater sofa」；in Taiwan and the US在台灣和美國，you would more often hear 'loveseat' for the same thing你比較常聽到的是同樣意思的「loveseat」）。Talking about small planes講小型飛機的時候，it它 means a plane for a pilot and one passenger指的是一架給一位飛行員和一位乘客坐的飛機。

The same pattern makes other words freely: three-seater, four-seater, and for buses or halls people jump to 'a fifty-seater'. So this is really a shape you can build with, not one fixed word to memorise.

The same pattern同樣的規則 makes other words freely可以自由造出其他字：three-seater, four-seaterthree-seater（三人座）、four-seater（四人座），and而 for buses or halls講到巴士或大廳的時候 people jump to人們甚至會直接跳到 'a fifty-seater'「a fifty-seater（五十人座）」。So所以 this is really a shape you can build with這其實是一個你可以自己套用的模式，not one fixed word to memorise而不是一個要死背的固定單字。

One more thing, though — 'two-seater' counts SEATS, not people who fit. A car sold as a two-seater is a two-seater even when a small child squeezes in somewhere. And a sofa sold as a two-seater is often really comfortable for one and a half.

One more thing, though還有一件事——'two-seater' counts SEATS「two-seater」算的是「座位」，not people who fit不是「能塞進去幾個人」。A car sold as a two-seater一台當作two-seater在賣的車 is a two-seater還是two-seater even when a small child squeezes in somewhere就算硬塞進去一個小孩。And而 a sofa sold as a two-seater一張賣作two-seater的沙發 is often really comfortable for one and a half通常真正坐起來舒服的其實只有一個半人。
