词根拆分
词根派生re-（回）+ cite（唤出）= 把词句从记忆里唤回来大声说出。cite 召唤的是来源，recite 召唤的是背下来的文本——你把它唤回并念诵出来：一首诗、一段祷文、一份清单。
词根 cit 还连着 10 个词常用搭配
- 1.recite a poem背诵诗歌
- 2.recite from memory凭记忆背诵
- 3.recite prayers诵读祷文
- 4.recite a list逐一列举
例句
- 1.

- 2.

易混词辨析
recite vs read —— recite 是凭记忆说出，手里没有文本；read 是照着页面念出。背诵（recite）诗歌的学生是记下来了；朗读（read）的学生是看着书念。
