在今天的文章里，我们来处理一下和mirrors相关的语料素材，希望大家多理解，结合自己的经历和感受，将这些内容应用到自己的答案中。

说到mirrors，其实和以前的sky，handicrafts，trees， farming等等一样，大家生活中可能都有经历，但并没有刻意去思考，所以一拿到题目觉得很茫然。

“镜子”，我们每个人都会用到。最多的场景无非是检查自己的妆容打扮，以确保自己出门在外（工作、学习、其他社交活动）仪容穿着都得体。说到这一点，像全身镜、化妆镜（双面化妆镜、自带LED灯光的化妆镜等）都是大家常用到的。

相关表达：

pocket mirror 袖珍型镜子

makeup mirror 化妆镜

full-length mirror 全身镜

wall-mounted mirror 墙面镜，壁装式镜子

double-sided mirror 双面镜

vanity mirror 梳妆镜

magnification 放大（功能）

lighting capabilities /LED lights 灯光功能/LED光 

personal grooming 个人装扮

put on makeup 化妆

apply lashes and eyeliner 画睫毛、眼线

foundation 粉底液

eyeshadow 眼影

mascara 睫毛膏

touch the mirror sensor 触碰镜子的感应器

can be adjusted to three levels of brightness 有三种亮度可调节

参考例句：

Well, the mirror is a necessity in my life. Every morning when I put on my makeup, I use it to check if I appropriately apply my foundation, lashes, eyeliner, that kind of thing. 

The double-sided mirror - usually with great magnification - comes very handy for me. I mean, when I try to apply some delicate makeup like eyeliner, eyeshadow and mascara, I can see every detail of my face.

I didn’t buy this mirror on purpose. In fact, I bought a set of cosmetics and the beauty brand offered it as a free gift with purchase. 

I once bought a vanity mirror online. It was on sale at the time, and it’s pretty cool cos’ it’s got LED lights. I can adjust its level of brightness by touching the mirror sensor. 

另外，不管是男孩子还是女孩子，其实都有一颗爱美之心（尤其是女孩子）。所以随身携带化妆镜也是很普遍的事。他们可能在餐后照照镜子以确保自己脸上没有沾到食物、油渍，或是餐后、出汗后或者其他时候需要补妆（口红啊，粉底啊，睫毛膏啊）。有的人可能很“自恋”，特别喜欢照镜子，欣赏自己的美貌。除此之外，在大家受痘痘困扰的时候，可能也得照着镜子擦药，甚至是挤痘痘！

相关表达：

glance in a mirror 照镜子

check one’s hair/makeup 检查自己的发型/妆

sweat v. 出汗

smudge 弄花（妆）

touch up /fix one’s makeup 补妆

one’s makeup comes off 脱妆

wear off 脱妆

narcissistic 自恋的

have a fringe 有刘海

pimple/zit/spot 痘痘

acne 粉刺

poke/squeeze 戳/挤（痘痘）

ointment 药膏

参考例句：

After a meal, I would glance in the mirror to ensure there’s nothing on my face or teeth. 

You see, I have a fringe so I always have a makeup mirror with me in case I need to check my hair, especially after a windy trip outdoors.

I always take a makeup mirror with me. You know, girls always do that. We have to make sure our makeup doesn’t smudge or wear off, especially when we sweat.

Actually, when I was a teenager, I got pimples. And I did look at myself in the mirror very often - to apply some ointment or to squeeze them. 

如今，在家里、餐厅、服装店、咖啡店等等，镜子也被用作“装饰”。有的可能是带LED灯光的镜子，有的可能是异形镜，有的可能是彩色镜，也有的可能是复古风（类似古城堡或中世纪风格）的镜子…… 

相关表达：

help a space look bigger 让空间显得更宽敞

vintage/antique mirror 复古镜

ornate-looking designs 装饰华丽的设计

coloured glasses 有色

vintage look 复古风的外观

the Medieval Times 中世纪的

frame 外框，边框

oval-shaped 椭圆形的

look like a piece of artwork 看上去像一件艺术品

jewelled ornament 珠宝装饰

reflect artificial lighting 反射人造光

bring more natural light into the room 增加房间里的自然光

add an elegant, vintage feel to …… 给……增添优雅、复古的感觉

add special charm to …… 给……增添独特的魅力

参考例句：

Mirrors can be nice decor. Many people use some kind of vintage mirrors to add an elegant feel to their homes.

There’s a narrow hall in my apartment so I use a large wall-mounted mirror to help the space look bigger. 

My interior designer once told me that placing a mirror by the window could bring more natural light into the room. 

I’ve got one oval-shaped vanity mirror in the bathroom. It’s got a vintage look. I think it looks like a piece of artwork.

Many restaurants use decorative mirrors to add special charm to the place. And some use mirrors to make the space appear larger.
