好姱佳丽 The word for fine

好姱佳丽兮,牉独处此异域。

Fine and lovely — and yet I am alone here, in a foreign land.

楚辞 · 抽思 · our translation
The line is about being alone abroad; a name takes the word, not the situation. 「佳丽」是美好。这一句本身写的是独处异域,取字不取境——名字要的是「丽」这个字,不是屈原那一刻。
佳丽秀丽丽之丽明清丽
In a name

The quality, not the circumstance.

「丽」是好,取字不取境。
