The name Ipanema comes from a Tupi term meaning 'stinking water,' but that hasn't kept it from becoming a byword for beauty. Stunningly set on the open Atlantic in the city's southeast, this Rio de Janeiro neighborhood inspired the sultry bossa nova tune 'The Girl from Ipanema,' one of the most recorded pop songs of all time. Ipanema isn't the only local waterfront with a song title tie-in: The next beach over is the famous Copacabana, namesake of the notable nightclub memorialized by Barry Manilow.
沙丘与泻湖交汇之地
水上漂？
大海、沙滩和日落
地势极低的湖泊
濒临消失的天堂
无与伦比的天堂之境
鸟儿遇见海滩
驶过日落时分
