外电中的报道是这样的：
China's dominant men's badminton team claimed their first Thomas Cup title in 14 years with a hard-fought victory over battling Denmark. The win wraps up a deserved Thomas and Uber Cup double for the top-seeded squad, whose women claimed a fourth successive trophy on Saturday.
中国羽毛球队历来是世界强队，此次比赛前更是被视为“头号种子队”（top-seeded squad）。Seed作动词时，有一种用法是指“挑选……为种子选手”，一般用被动态，例如：seeded players（种子选手）；She was seeded fourth at Wimbledon.（她被定为温布尔登网球锦标赛的第四号种子选手。）
