基本释义
[noun] an exact copy or model of something, especially one on a smaller scale
[名词] 某物的精确复制品或模型,尤指较小比例的
深入解读
Replica 是一个与小站之前推送过的 implicit 和 implicate 同词根 plic (重叠、折叠)的单词。
其中, replica 由前缀 re- (一再)+词根 plic + 名词后缀 -a 构成,最早于1824年经意大利语 replica (复制、重复、答复)进入英语后表示“艺术复制品”,尤指出于原作者之手或在其指导下制成的雕像、绘画或建筑物的精确复制品。
等到了1865年后, replica 开始用来泛指各类“复制品、仿制品”,相应特指某物的精确复制品或模型,通常是按比例缩小的,强调非常相似,包括某人的翻版或者说与某人酷似的人,比如:
- 埃菲尔铁塔模型
a replica of the Eiffel tower - 那个马屁精小的时候和她妈妈简直一模一样。
That toady as a child was a replica of her mother.
图书例句
Momentarily shapeless, it writhed and then formed itself into a gleaming replica of a human hand, bright as moonlight, which soared downward and fixed itself upon Wormtail’s bleeding wrist.
起先并没有形状,随后光带扭曲起来,变成了一个闪闪发光的人手复制品,像月光一样明亮。它自己猛飞了下来,安在虫尾巴流血的手腕上。
出自英国作家J·K·罗琳的奇幻小说《哈利·波特》系列的第四本《哈利·波特与火焰杯》(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)。
