●The General Situation and the Origin of its Name 总体概况与名称来源
Lake Geneva is a lake in Switzerland and France. It is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe.59.53%（345.31 km2）of it comes under the jurisdiction of Switzerland, and 40.47%（234.71 km2）under France.Lake Geneva, formed by a retreating glacier, has a crescent shape that narrows around Yvoire on the southern shore.It can thus be divided figuratively into the"Large Lake"to the east and the"Small Lake"to the west.The Chablais Alps border its southern shore, the western Bernese Alps lie over its eastern side.The high summits of Grand Combin and Mont Blanc are visible from some places.
The first recorded name of the lake is Lacus Lemannus from Roman times；it became Lacus Lausonius, although this name was also used for a town or district on the lake, Lacus Losanetes and then the Lac de Lausanne in the Middle Ages. Following the rise of Geneva it became Lake Geneva.In the 18th century, Lac Leman was revived in French and is the customary name in that language.In contemporary English, the name Lake Geneva is predominant.
日内瓦湖是一条位于瑞士和法国境内的湖泊。它是西欧最大的湖泊之一。其中59.53%，也即345.31平方公里是在瑞士的管辖之内；40.47%，也即234.71平方公里由法国管辖。日内瓦湖是由冰川融化而成，呈现新月形状，在伊瓦的南部海岸上变得狭窄。这条湖可以象征性地分成东边的大湖和西边的小湖。南岸是沙布莱阿尔卑斯山，西边的伯恩阿尔卑斯山脉位于其东侧。在一些地方可以看到大孔班山和勃朗峰的山顶。
日内瓦湖最初见于记载的名字是勒曼努斯湖，勒曼努斯是罗马时代的希腊英雄；后来又改名为拉森诺斯，这个名字也可用于湖上的某个小镇或地区的名字，中世纪还先后改名为洛桑尼斯和洛桑湖。随着日内瓦的兴盛，这条湖便成为日内瓦湖。18世纪，莱蒙湖在法国复活，成为法语中日内瓦湖的习用名称。在现代英语中，通常称为日内瓦湖。
