覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 recite「朗読する・暗唱する」に三人称単数現在の -s を付けた形です。語末が無声音 /t/ なので、-s は /s/ と発音され、全体は /rɪˈsaɪts/ となります。she recites a poem のように、詩・せりふ・文章を声に出して再現する場面と結び付けます。
Begin with recite, meaning “say a text aloud,” often from memory. For a third-person singular subject such as she, he, or the student, add -s: recite becomes recites. Because recite ends in the voiceless sound /t/, the ending is pronounced /s/, giving /rɪˈsaɪts/, not an extra syllable. Picture a student who recites lines clearly before a class or a speaker who recites a passage at a ceremony. The object is commonly a poem, lines, a passage, or a prayer, which separates recite from ordinary conversation.
例文
She recites a short poem every morning.

その生徒はクラスの前ではっきりとせりふを暗唱します。
At the ceremony, he recites a passage from a famous speech.
式典で、彼は有名な演説の一節を朗読します。

recites の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 recitare（re-「再び」+ citare「呼び起こす、引用する」）が語源。citare は「動かす」意の ciēre に由来し、excite（興奮させる）や cite（引用する）と同根。文章を声に出して「再び呼び起こす」ことから「朗読する」の意になった。
Recites is the third-person singular present form of recite, created by adding -s. Recite came through French from Latin recitare, formed from re-, conveying repetition, and citare, “call forth, summon, or cite.” Citare is related to Latin ciere, “set in motion.” Cite and excite belong to the same broader word family. The sense developed around calling written or remembered words forth and delivering them aloud.
