Question

reflection n.倒影；反射；反映；沉思；考虑 (1) 小猫看到自己在镜子中的倒影，感到很好奇。(2) 月亮靠反射发光。(3) 他们在研究声波的反射。(4) 他阴郁的神情是内心苦恼的反映。(5) 这种混乱情况说明他难当此任、缺乏自信。(6) 经过很长一段时间的慎重考虑,我们决定买下那所房子。(7) 经过很长一段时间的慎重考虑，我们决定买下那所房子。 Reflection comes from the Latin reflectere, made up of the prefix re-, "back," and flectere, "to bend." So it's bending something back: your reflection in the mirror is the light waves that bounce your image back at you. When you pause for reflection — serious thinking, that is — your thoughts are bending inward. Reflection can also be a consequence of something: the way your dog mopes around when you're away is a reflection of how much he misses you.
