短释义：
The noun recitation comes from the word “recite.” When you recite, or say something you’ve memorized, you give a recitation. This happens a lot in school and in religious traditions, but you might also hear your know-it-all friend give an impromptu recitation of a famous director’s films or every Beatles song in alphabetical order. The word comes from the Latin prefix re, “again,” and the word citare, “to summon.” Summoning again from memory is recitation.
如果你曾经在观众面前背诵过一首押韵的诗，那么你就已经进行了背诵。

名词背诵来自“背诵”一词。当你背诵或说出你已经记住的东西时，你就进行了背诵。这种情况在学校和宗教传统中经常发生，但您也可能会听到您万事通的朋友按字母顺序即兴背诵著名导演的电影或披头士乐队的每首歌曲。这个词来自拉丁语前缀 re（“再次”）和 citare（“召唤”）一词。从记忆中再次召唤就是背诵。
文学例句：
She made sure she began her recitation with that mean thing Miss Trotter coached her to say: “Great-granny, today we learned our family history from one who knows it.”
她确保她以特罗特小姐指导她说的那句话开始背诵：“曾祖母，今天我们从一位了解家族历史的人那里学到了它。”
