He sicced his dog at the thief.
Use this
He sicced his dog on the thief.
动词 sic 表示“唆使（狗等）攻击”，固定搭配是 sic something on someone，介词用 on；受汉语“朝/对”影响误用 at。将 at 改为 on 后，句子才能表达“让狗去攻击那个小偷”。
Not this

Use this
The word ‘beutiful’ [sic] appeared in the article.
作“原文如此”解时，sic 要放在它所标注的引文错词或错短语之后，通常写作 [sic]；放在前面会把 [sic] 误挂在“word”上。把 [sic] 移到引号内的错词 ‘beutiful’ 后面，才能准确表示该词按原文照录。

sic /sɪk/ 与 sick /sɪk/、pick /pɪk/、kick /kɪk/、stick /stɪk/、quick /kwɪk/ 押韵，均以 /ɪk/ 结尾。注意 music /ˈmjuːzɪk/ 虽以 -sic 结尾，但发音为 /zɪk/，且重音不在最后一个音节，因此不押韵；basic /ˈbeɪsɪk/ 同样不押韵。
