Seeded/unseeded

　　种子选手/非种子选手

　　【世博精解】

　　刚刚看到一个很有意思的词，unseeded，非种子选手。由此，我想到种子选手是不是可以写成seeded呢？仔细查了一下字典，果然如此。我们也来看一下：

　　seed，的原意是种子，萌芽。

　　seeded, a good player to play against a poorer player in the early rounds of a knock-out competition, so that all the good players have a chance to reach the later rounds，(尤指网球中)挑选(种子选手)与较弱选手比赛(使种子选手不至过早遭淘汰)。

　　例句：

　　The seeded players all won their matches.

　　这些种子选手已全部获胜。

　　Unseeded, not selected as a seed in a sports contest, especially in tennis，未被列为种子选手的(尤指网球赛中)。

　　举例：

　　the first unseeded player to reach the final

　　首位进入决赛的非种子选手
