mimic + noun (building material / decorative item — theatre/film context only)
用法筆記
Very rare and restricted to technical writing about theatre, film sets, and stage design. In everyday speech the synonyms 'fake', 'imitation', and 'mock' are far more natural (e.g. 'fake leather jacket', 'imitation marble', 'mock Tudor'). Learners should avoid using 'mimic' as an adjective in conversation — it will sound stilted or incorrect to most native speakers.
