  1. 1/ˌriːprəˈdʌkʃən/生殖、繁殖（生物學）／複製品、仿製畫（藝術）

    In biology, reproduction is the process by which living things - people, animals, and plants - make new babies or offspring, continuing their species; you'll meet this word in science class talking about 'human reproduction' or 'plant reproduction.' In art, a reproduction is a copy of an original artwork, like a printed copy of a famous painting that you can buy - not the real, original piece.
