Non-ProZ.com Jun 13, 2003:
Why do people call a reflection pond a reflection pond? I mean if it's a pond, and it has water in it, it will reflect. Right?

This idea of reflecting - thinking seriously - at a body of water and pining over your reflected self is quite tantalizing. I'm filling up my bath right now. :-)

Bill, literature is right up your alley. What say you?

You\'re deep in reflection, I can see that:) Words that seem ambiguous are more powerful than clearly defined ones. Water reflects as man reflects in his mind.

Just bathe in your bath, and when you comes to the pond, ponder over its reflection.

Beware, is it really tantalizing to pine over your reflected self?

Enjoy yourself anyway, Yongmei.

\"倒影池\" and \"静思池\" : both of them sound good.

IMHO, \"倒影池\" is better.
