“地点”是"site"还是"cit

site是“位置、场所、地点”和地方有关系，而cite主要是“引用”的意思，他们俩读音完全相同，但意思可不一样。

1、Site /saɪt/

n. 位置, 场所, 地点

v. 使坐落在; 设置

释义：

The noun site refers to a piece of land (e.g., building site). As a verb, to site means to position in a place(e.g., I will site the slide near the swings.)

作为名词，site指一片场地（例如，建筑工地）；作为动词，site的意思是确定某一位置（例如，我将把滑梯放在秋千附近）。

例句：

①There are three landfill sites in the local vicinity.

附近有三个垃圾填埋场。

②Mr. Dodds claimed his tools had been stolen from the archaeological site.

多兹先生断定他的工具是从考古现场被偷走的。

2、Cite /saɪt/

v. 引用；传讯；想起；表彰

释义：

The verb to cite means to quote, to refer to, to summon to appear before a court of law or simply to mention.

动词cite一词的意思是引用，提及，传唤出庭，或者就是提到。

例句：

①The lecturer cited several instances of illegal behaviour.
