　　1. How often do you look at yourself in the mirror every day?

　　有些人是個注重形象或是愛打扮的人，每天幾乎隨時隨地都會檢查下自己的妝容，如果沒有鏡子任何可以反光的東西我都會湊上去看一下。

　　詞匯補充：

　　必不可少的工具：an indispensable tool

　　注重形象的人 image-conscious person

　　花時間打扮自己 spend time in makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good.

　　范例1：

　　Well, actually I use it at any moment. I mean, I am an image-conscious person so that I spend lots of time on makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good. I can say that mirror has been an indispensable tool in my daily life. Even when I see anything that reflects light, I will go over and check up my appearance subconsciously.

　　雖然這種人聽起來比較夸張但是絕對大有人在哦，那么另一種就是不太看，只有早上洗漱啊，穿衣服的時候才會看一下。

　　范例2：

　　As for me, en, not quite often. I have no habit of looking into the mirror. Actually, I am not an image-conscious person, I only do it when I am washing or trying on clothes.

　　2. Do you often buy mirrors?

　　剛剛我們就是分情況說的，現(xiàn)在也是一樣，喜歡照鏡子的朋友就可以這樣說：

　　范例 1：

　　well, I am surely a mirror-lover, but I don't like buy it quite often. I should say that I always buy three once, one at school, one at home and one in my bag. I won’t buy new ones unless they are missing.

　　不喜歡照鏡子的人就可以說：

　　范例2：

　　To be frank，I never buy one. I mean, there is no need for me to check myself at any moment. I just glance in the mirror on my way out the door and my mom is the one who bought it years ago.

　　3. Where do you put mirrors?

　　鏡子都會放在哪里這個問題，如果是有很多鏡子的人在第二題我們已經(jīng)說過了，那對于那些不太用鏡子的人呢，就可以解釋一下，家里的鏡子都會放在哪里。

　　范例：

　　En, I have no mirror at all, but there are two in my home. As for the cosmetic mirror, my family put it above on the wash basin. If I remember correctly, there is a full-length mirror in the living room for dressing.

　　4. Do you think mirrors are a necessary decoration?

　　不管喜不喜歡鏡子，大家都應(yīng)該知道鏡子是有它的裝飾性效果的。出了能夠看到自己之外，還有很多用途。譬如說，如果室內(nèi)昏暗，鏡子可以增加一些光亮。如果家里不是特別大，裝一面大鏡子會顯得家里大一些。

　　詞匯補充：

　　照自己：view one’s reflection

　　改善屋子的亮度：improving a dim room

　　顯得屋子很大： much larger than its actual square footage

　　范例：

　　Of course，besides the distinct merit of viewing one‘s reflection, mirrors serve some very important purposes. It is a good way to improve a dim room. Plus, a large mirror on wall can create the illusion that the room is much larger than its actual square footage.
