用法与细微差别
'Reflective' is used for both physical surfaces (like jackets or signs that shine in light) and for describing thoughtful people or moods. In writing, a 'reflective essay' means personal, deep thinking. Never use for mirrors (use 'reflective surface'), and don't confuse with 'reflexive' (grammar).
