When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
无边际池畔
Infinity pool就是泳池建在悬崖边. 看过去泳池仿佛是跟爱琴海相连好像可以游入爱琴海一般. 旋转照片里也有不同角度看Katikies的无限泳池妳会发现无限泳池它是看不见边际的.（希腊Perivolas Hotel 的Infinity pool 图片：http://hercafe.yam.com/blog/jackyswife2/2006/05/16/289640）
这里有一段叙述：Arthur Erickson，1924 年出生於溫哥華，建築家。
其五十年展正在 Vancouver Art Gallery 展出，分為三類代表作介紹。
第一類為 Infinity ─ 無限，探討空間與建築的構成與互動，其中代表：Museum of Anthropology @ UBC。（http://singalone.hala.ca/cgi-bin/blog/archives/000338.html） 从这里可以看出：Infinity 的确是一种建筑风格。
《明报》将infinity pool 翻译为“无边际游泳池”（http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/prod23.cfm?File=20060812/prd01d/vz...）
所以，我觉得infinity lip 也许可以翻译为“无边际池畔”。
整句试译：这个游泳池有一个可俯瞰附近河流的无边际池畔。

今天很奇怪呀，我输入的解释在提交以后总是显现一些七零八落的东西，不能将整个解释完整的显现出来。试了好几次都是这样。

a design feature:
'Instead of a raised lip that would interrupt the visual flow to the distant landscape, the pool has a 50-foot-long infinity, or negative, edge that seamlessly blends sky, horizon, and the water's mirrorlike surface.'

infinity lip 跟 raised lip 比
| 非常感谢，“vanishing edge pool”对我理解这种游泳池的风格很有帮助。 |
