我找来一面旧的木头镜子，涂成了明黄色，这是我最近特别迷恋的颜色。

Here I took an old wood mirror and painted it bright yellow, my latest color obsession.

这个短语几乎是一个口头护身符，用来在犯错误之后避开厄运：“打破了那面镜子不会带给我厄运，敲敲木头。”

This phrase is almost like a verbal talisman, designed to ward off bad luck after tempting fate: "Breaking that mirror didn't bring me any trouble, knock on wood."

假如你用镜子将强烈的阳光聚焦于干燥的木头上，它便会燃烧起来。

If you focus bright sunlight on dry wood with a glass, it will start burning.
