    Shangri-La香格里拉 is a beautiful place that exists in a story是一個存在於故事裡的美麗地方 : a hidden valley where life is peaceful and people stay happy for a very long time：一個隱藏的山谷，生活平靜，人們能長長久久地幸福快樂。 The name comes from the 1933 book Lost Horizon by James Hilton這個名字來自詹姆斯．希爾頓1933年的小說《消失的地平線》， who set that valley in Tibet他把那個山谷設定在西藏。

    People now use Shangri-La for any far-away place that feels too perfect — a quiet island, a mountain town, even a garden that makes you forget the city.

    People now use Shangri-La for any far-away place that feels too perfect現在人們用Shangri-La來指任何美好到不真實的遙遠地方 — a quiet island, a mountain town, even a garden that makes you forget the city——一座安靜的島、一個山城，甚至一座讓你忘記城市的花園。

    Though actually, Hilton used it as a made-up name in the book; a Tibetan origin has been suggested — zhang (a district), ri (mountain), la (a mountain pass), so “mountain pass of Zhang” — but that is a suggestion, not a sure history.

    Though actually不過其實， Hilton used it as a made-up name in the book希爾頓在書裡是把它當成一個虛構的名字來用； a Tibetan origin has been suggested有人提出過一個藏語的來源說法 — zhang (a district), ri (mountain), la (a mountain pass)——zhang（一個地區）、ri（山）、la（山口）， so "mountain pass of Zhang"合起來是「zhang的山口」 — but that is a suggestion, not a sure history——但這只是一種說法，不是確定的歷史。

    You will also see Shangri-La on fancy hotels. That is the dream-name borrowed for business, not a real valley you can fly to.
