backstream river Explanation: 自从“倒淌”在某些方面顺应为 “逆流”，我就那么给你一个选择。我找了“backstream river”，好像有些人为的这样的河流。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2008-08-19 15:33:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "backstream"好像有些说 “水是倒着流向上游”，但这里显然只是“反向流”，那么是否“counterstream"好一些， 如果 "stream"在某种程度上考虑为动词。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2008-08-19 15:59:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 那么，从文成公主来说，就是“柔肠寸段”之河，“思乡”河；对于龙王的女儿来说，就是聪慧的结果，总之就是一条“女儿河”，但两个故事有“很无奈”的感觉。应该是一个美丽但稍微有些凄切的名字。至于“倒淌”在名字里似乎不是很重要了。 |
