"Let your reflection speaks volumes" It's an ad on a poster which has a beauty on it of a book store in Bombay. The book store belongs to a restaurant which is not far.

@Sophia Pang,
Promotional advertising for the bookstore.

It's a "play on words."

Do you know what that is?

@Sophia Pang,
In a Pang of uncertainty, Soph, shouldn't PUNK elaborate for many of the a2k intellectually backward (me)

And shouldn't that be "speak"

@Sophia Pang,
He used "pang" and "punk" because your name is pang and the other person who responded calls themselves punkey.

We can all see what your name is, you have it written right out there.

Re your question, the word "volume" is used to distinguish one book from a collection.

The word "reflection" is talking about when you think about something from the past, that you learned a lesson from. You "reflect" on it.

It's a play on words as in "Thinking about the books you have read"

@PUNKEY,
Thank you very much!
The problem is that we don't sure it is a poster for the book shop or cosmetology
We had a class discussion yesterday about how to translate it into Chinese.
Well, may be just as you said,it is a "play on words"

Oh no Soph not at all by no means. I meant only for PUNKEY to explain his play on words for benefit of the intellectually disadvantaged (me)

For what it's worth ( probably not much) in English a "Pang" is a sudden uncomfortable feeling

But still I like it

Yesterday I got the answer from my teacher! The ad. belongs to the beauty salon next to the bookstore!⊙﹏⊙‖∣ What a surprise! So it's for facial. O(∩_∩)O
Well, i still think it can also be used for the bookstore except the beauty in the poster.
I want to show you the poster.
Would someone please tell me how to upload a picture here? ( ' – ' )

Good luck Soph, after 17 years' trying I finally gave up. You'd think they'd make it easier....
