雅思口语Part One思路解析：Mirror 镜子
这个话题可能对女孩更友好一些，每天化妆、梳头、搭配衣服都需要用到镜子。对于男生而言，镜子在日常生活中的地位可能就没有那么高。甚至有些平时根本不照镜子。我们在回答的时候并不一定要用肯定的答复，否定并说明情况也是可以的。除此之外，男生也想想必须照镜子的场景，比如买衣服（有一道Part Two的题目就是关于最喜欢的衣服），刮胡子等。总得来说，我们在日常生活中接触到的镜子主要有三类：一类是营业场所用来装饰的镜子。最典型的例子就是理发店或者一些饭店墙上挂的大镜子。第二类是家中的穿衣镜，供我们研究穿搭或者看看衣服是否整齐。第三类是女生用的化妆镜，放在包里可以随时查看自己的妆容。
Do you like looking at yourself in the mirror? How often? 你喜欢照镜子吗？有多经常？
I am not keen on looking at myself in the mirror. It is too smug for me. But I do use it every morning before I get out of my room to make sure my clothes are neat and clean, and their colours and styles match each other.
我不是很喜欢照镜子。这对我来说太过自恋了。但我确实每天早上出门之前都会用它，以确保我的衣服干净整洁。它们的颜色和风格互相搭配。
Have you ever bought mirrors? 你曾经买过镜子吗？
Yes, I have. The first day I got enrolled in the university and found my dormitory, I bought a mirror at the vendor on the street and stuck it onto the wall of my room. This article is from Laokaoya website. It is a second-hand one, with some scratches at the corner and edges, but it perfectly satisfies my demands.
是的，我买过。大学报名找到宿舍的第一天，我就在街边的小摊上买了个镜子，并把它贴在墙上。它是个二手货，边边角角有些划痕，但它完全满足我的需求。
Do you usually take a mirror with you? 你经常随身携带镜子吗？
No, never. In fact, I do not think any boy would do that unless it is out of his job’s requirement. This habit is too girl-ish and will definitely incur jeer from their peers.
从来都不。事实上，我不认为任何男生会这么做，除非这是出于他的工作需要。这一习惯太过女性化了，绝对会招致他们同伴的嘲笑。
Would you use mirrors to decorate your room? 你会用镜子来装饰房间吗？
No, I would not. It is a bit scary. You know, when I wake up at night and opened my bleary eyes, I may forget the existence of the mirror and mistake my reflection as a stranger in my room. It will terrify me.
不，我不会的。它有些吓人。当我在晚上起来，睁开惺忪的研究，我可能会忘记镜子的存在，错把我在镜子里的反射当成房间里的陌生人。这吓死我的。
（更新：如上为新题）
How often do you look at yourself in the mirror every day?
你一天看镜子多少次？
I would say once a day. Though I do not like to look in mirror, I do need it to shave my beard and make sure I dress properly.
Have you ever bought mirrors?
你曾经买过镜子吗？
No. There is a big mirror in the washroom in my dormitory. It satisfies my needs perfectly since I do not look at the mirror very often.
Do you check yourself when you decide to buy a mirror?
买镜子的时候你会检查自己在镜中的样子吗（不发生变形的意思）？
Since I have never bought a mirror, I am not sure. But I believe I will so that I can make sure the mirror is all right. It will not make me look slimmer or thicker.
Would you use mirrors to decorate rooms?
你会用镜子装饰房屋吗？（大家可以想想一些小饭店或者理发店，他们通常都会在墙上挂镜子，以达到提升房屋视觉面积的效果）
No, I do not think so. But I do know some small restaurants or hair saloons put up big mirrors on one side of their walls to exaggerate the visual space of the room.
