语域：mixed 常见场景：数学课堂教学、数学教材与试卷、生物学或医学写作、正式书面语（指增殖、成倍增加） multiplication 作为数学术语时通常很中性，多用于课堂、教材或考试；日常口语更常说 times（如 4 times 5）。在生物学或正式书面语中表示“增殖、成倍增加”时比较正式，多出现在文献或正式报道中。
以上六个词都与 multiplication 押韵，均以重读的 /eɪʃən/ 结尾（拼写多为 -ation）。注意拼写中的 -tion 读作 /ʃən/，不是 /tiən/；像 multiply、multiple、multiplicative 等拼写相近的词发音不同，不押韵。
