摘要：
We review the basic observed and inferred properties of the broad emission-line region in AGNs, as well as the basics of the reverberation-mapping technique that can be used to determine the size and structure of the region. We argue that the current best evidence points to a multi-component line-emitting region, with a disk-like structure, possibly an extension of the accretion disk itself, and a disk wind being strong candidates for the origin of the broad-line emission.
