A student claims that anything that can be accomplished by a translation can be accomplished by a reflection. She claims that if A' is the image of A under a translation, then A' can be obtained by a reflection in the line(which is the perpendicular bisector of AA'. Hence, a translation and a reflection are the same. How do you respond?
