1. "reuse" doesn't convey the meaning very accurately.
(I can reuse a drink bottle by refilling it with another drink, but that isn't 移用.)

2. "copy" is, I believe, just plain wrong.

Ex.
他說,當時只能「土法煉鋼」,把圈出考古現場的「探方」、鏟子、圓鍬等陸上田野考古的方法及工具,參考移用於水下考古。
He says that because Taiwan was new to underwater archaeology, the team had no choice but to borrow techniques and tools from land-based digs and figure out how to apply them underwater.
Diff:
- 移用 移用 [yi2 yong4] /to reuse/to adapt (for another purpose)/to copy/
+ 移用 移用 [yi2 yong4] /to use (sth) for a purpose other than its original one; to adapt (tools, methods etc) for another purpose/
