The phrase 海市蜃楼 (hǎishì shènlóu) is used to describe something that appears to be real but is actually an illusion. For example, one might say, 沙漠里的绿洲只是海市蜃楼 (shāmò lǐ de lǜzhōu zhǐ shì hǎishì shènlóu) meaning "The oasis in the desert was just a mirage."

Yes, 海市蜃楼 (hǎi shì shèn lóu) can be used differently in different contexts. In a literal sense, it is used to refer to an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions, such as a mirage. In a figurative sense, it can be used to refer to something that appears to be real but is actually not, such as a false promise or a dream that cannot be realized. It can also be used to refer to something that is fleeting or ephemeral, such as a moment of joy or a feeling of contentment.
