Use this
We have allotted the seats already.

联想:allot 听起来像 a lot——把一大堆东西分出去,就是“分配/拨给”。
语域:formal 常见场景:formal writing、resource allocation、scheduling allot 多用于正式或书面语境,表示按计划分配时间、任务或资源;日常口语中较少用,更常见 give 或 allocate。使用时通常带有明确的目的性。
以上词与 allot 的重读部分 /lɒt/ 押韵(英式发音):lot、plot、spot、knot、cot、trot。注意别被拼写误导:ballot /ˈbælət/、carrot /ˈkærət/ 等虽然也以 -ot 结尾,但读音不同,不押韵。
