核心畫面
A caution about this entry: rep is not one word with several meanings — it is one short spelling that stands in for several different long words.

先提醒一件事：rep 不是一個字長出很多意思，而是同一個短拼法在替好幾個長字代班。多數用法縮的是 representative（替別人出面說話、做事的人），這個畫面可以當主線記。其餘的分別縮自 repertory、reputation 和 repetition——所以判斷它是哪個意思，靠的是上下文，而不是同一個核心畫面。原始詞典資料14 筆記錄
