A Lake Called Shen Xian

I wrote about my hike plan for the Labor Day holiday.

I was supposed to hike on a beautiful mountain in Zhejiang Province, famous for its spectacular waterfall. But the highway was way too busy, so we decided to another place well known by a lake at the last minute.

I didn't tell you about the lake because I just hiked for two hours after over seven hours of driving. The experience was quite disappointing for a hiker.

However, the view of the lake was not bad. You can see it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZJNwdfquchE

The lake is called 神仙湖. I tried to find a proper English expression for its name. Fairy Lake is a suggestion from an AI.

In my eyes, the fairy is a creature like a small person with magic powers, while 神仙 means every good creature belongs to the supernatural system. Therefore, it might not be the proper English name for the lake.

What's your opinion?


一个叫神仙的湖泊

之前写过我的劳动节徒步计划。

我本来打算在浙江一座美丽的山上徒步的,那里以壮观的瀑布而闻名。但是高速公路太拥挤了,所以我们在最后一刻决定去了另一个有名的湖边。

我没有说那个湖的事,因为在开车七个多小时后仅仅徒步了两个小时。对徒步爱好者而言,这次经历是很失望的。

不过,湖的景色还不错。你可以在这个视频看到:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZJNwdfquchE

这个湖被称为“神仙湖”。我试图为它的名字找一个合适的英文表达。Fairy Lake是一个AI的建议。

在我看来,Fairy是一种会魔法的小人儿,而“神仙”可以指代每一个属于超自然系统的超脱尘世的存在。因此,它可能不是这个湖恰当的英文名。

你觉得是啥呢?

Feedback

mythology names often don't map well between languages. 'fairy' is a reasonable translation, but maybe 'spirit' or something like that

Thank you!

You're right. Many concepts can't map well between languages.

OPTION A: I wrote about my hikeing plans for the Labor Day holiday.
OPTION B: Previously, I wrote about my Labor Day holiday hiking plans.

I prefer OPTION B, but OPTION A is also possible.

ButHowever, the highway there was way too busy, so wemy friend and I decided to another place well known by a lake at the last minute.

NOTE: If readers know precisely "we" refers to, then the word "we" is possible. Otherwise, the phrase "my friend and I" is better.

I didn't tell you about the lake because I just hiked for two hours after over seven hours of driving.

The experienc更簡潔地說: The hike was quite disappointing for a hiker.
