常用搭配: 照镜子 (to look in the mirror), 镜子碎了 (the mirror is broken). Avoid literal translations from English like 'break the mirror' — use 打破 unless it breaks accidentally.

Common mistakes

镜子 is only a physical mirror, not a metaphorical mirror like in English. To say something reflects a situation, use 反映 instead.
