问题描述：
Ideally ___for broadway theatre and Fifth Avenue,the New york Hotel is a favorite with many guests.
A.locating B.being located C.having been located D.located
能不能解释一下为什么选D,不能选其它的呢?
答
locate作为及物动词是"设立于(某一场所)"的意思,将这个句子还原一下,原顺序应该是The New York Hotel is ideally located for broadway theatre and the Fifth Avenue,意思就是“纽约酒店简直是为了百老汇剧院和第五大道所设立的”,即是说从它那个地方去百老汇和第五大道都非常方便.
若选A,locating for的原型即是locate for,locate做不及物动词时只有“定居”和“居住”的意思,纽约酒店是个地点,很显然它不可能自己“居住”；B的being located是现在进行时,强调正在进行的动作,纽约酒店一直建在那个地方,没有强调正在进行的必要；C则是现在完成时,强调已完成的动作,与B同理,此句中也没有必要强调酒店“已经”建在那个地方.于是D最合适.
