1. show... the way 给……指路，也可以说“direct the way”或者“give the direction”

eg. You who have gone before them can help show the way by your example.

eg. God sent His Son to become like us so He could show the way and save us.
神差派他的儿子，成为我们的样式，以便能给我们指路并拯救我们。

2. be seated 坐下；坐落于

eg. Weather permitting, ask to be seated on the terrace outside.
那天天气很好，所以我提出坐到外面的露台上。

eg. If you find a waiter you like, always ask to be seated in his or her section.
如果你找到一个你喜欢的服务员，总是会主动要求坐在他或她服务的区域。
