錦鯉意思英文

"錦鯉" (Japanese: 錦鯉, Nishikigoi) is a type of ornamental carp that is popular in Japan and other parts of the world for its colorful and patterned scales. In English, "錦鯉" is often simply translated as "koi" or "koi fish," which is derived from the Japanese word "koi" (鯉), meaning carp. The term "koi" can refer to both the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and the ornamental varieties, including the colorful "錦鯉."

When referring to the ornamental variety specifically, "koi" or "koi fish" is the most common English term. However, if you want to emphasize the "錦" (nishiki) part of the Japanese name, which means "brocade" or "colored," you could use the term "brocaded carp" or "colored carp" to describe the beautiful, patterned appearance of these fish.
