Definition
镜面 literally means 'mirror surface', but it's used more broadly in technical contexts to describe any smooth, reflective surface (e.g., 镜面玻璃 'mirror glass', 镜面不锈钢 'mirror-finished stainless steel'). In figurative or metaphorical use, it can describe water or polished surfaces that reflect like a mirror. It is a noun that can also function attributively before another noun (like a compound modifier).
