Some signs start out strong before losing popularity and vanishing, while other signs are later inventions, But 65 percent of those signs stayed in use during that entire time period -- things like lines, rectangles, triangles, ovals and circles, like we see here, from the end of the Ice Age at a 10,000-year-old site high in the Pyrenees Mountains.

site doing vs site to do

  • site doing 通常強調「選址」這個動作本身或正在進行的過程,較常出現在描述一般事實或習慣時。
  • site to do 則更常帶有目的性,表示「為了(做某事)而選址」,或用於談論具體、一次性的未來計劃。
  • 在表示「偏好」或「習慣」時,兩者有時可互換,但 site doing 感覺更口語化、更直接。
  • would likewantneed 等詞語後,幾乎總是使用 site to do 的形式來表達意願或需求。 EN: The company prefers siting its factories near major highways. 翻譯: 這家公司偏好將工廠選址在主要高速公路附近。

EN:We need to site the new park to serve the growing community.

翻譯:我們需要為新公園選址,以服務不斷成長的社區。

一般情況下,談論具體目的或計劃時用 site to do,描述一般性選址行為時兩者皆可,但 site doing 更為常見。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Site"?Which "Site" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×We will site the new factory in the industrial park.

We will site the new factory in the industrial park.

雖然拼寫正確,但學習者常將動詞 'site'(選址)與名詞 'site'(地點)混淆,或誤以為它是 'sight'(看見)或 'cite'(引用)的錯誤拼寫。此處 'site' 作動詞使用是正確的,但需確保上下文清楚表達「選定位置」的意思,避免與其他同音/形近詞混淆。

×They decided to site on the beach for the picnic.

They decided to sit on the beach for the picnic.

錯誤混淆了動詞 'site'(選址)與 'sit'(坐下)。'Site' 是及物動詞,需要賓語(如為某物選址),不能直接用於描述人的就座動作。

×The government cited a new school in our neighborhood.

The government sited a new school in our neighborhood.

混淆了 'cite'(引用,傳訊)和 'site'(設置,選址)。'Cite' 通常指引用來源或法律傳喚,而 'site' 指為建築物或設施選擇具體地點。

×The ancient ruins were sited at the top of the hill.

The ancient ruins were located at the top of the hill.

動詞 'site' 通常帶有主動「選定位置」的意圖,用於人為規劃的建築或設施。對於自然存在或歷史遺跡的位置,使用 'be located', 'be situated', 或 'stand' 更為自然。

×They are siting the problem from different angles.

They are citing the problem from different angles.

此處想表達的是「從不同角度引用/提出問題」,應使用 'cite'。'Site' 僅與物理位置相關,不能用於抽象概念的提出或引用。
