Dot Small Dotted Time Round Spread Mark Phrase

The word "dot" is pronounced /dɒt/. As a noun, it refers to a very small round mark, like the dot on an 'i', a full stop, or a decimal point, or something that appears as a small mark due to distance. As a verb, it means to be scattered or spread over an area. Idiomatic phrases include "on the dot" (punctually), "dot the i's and cross the t's" (pay attention to detail), and "the year dot" (a very long time ago).

/dɒt/,用作名词时,指非常小的圆形标记,如字母i上方的点,或句末的点,或小数点。也可指因距离远而看起来像小点的物体。用作动词时,指散布或遍布于某处,使某地星罗棋布。短语“on the dot”表示准时或在指定时间,“dot the i's and cross the t's”表示注重细节,“the year dot”表示很久以前。
