How to translate "笑傲江湖"？Thanks in advance.

chica nueva
: 'by rivers and lakes'(ie all over the country) - perhaps you might need to explain this idiom/metaphor...?/you are very patient Chinoise. 我对武术是文盲. I now find this 江湖 is a common term and idea in martial arts, as in 威震江湖 etc.

Chinese term (edited):
~{VX3v=-:~~}
has re-emerged within martial arts community...
This text implies that something has not been seen for a long time. I think instead of a literal translation, maybe a contextual translation would work just as well.

: yes, it seems 江湖 = 武林 = the martial arts community, as in 威震江湖,威震武林等, am I right?

yes, although I have seen it used to refer loosely the country at large, but I think in this text, it refers exclusively to the martial arts community.

a respected figure in the martial arts world
重出江湖 reappear on the scene
虽然简单但是也贴切，只要你把"重出江湖"当作“四方各地”而不是“一种谋生的行业”
A little colloquial but conveys the message, if you take 江湖 to mean “all corners of the country”and not “a particular trade".

: Looks quite good to me too, seems 江湖could stand for 'martial arts circles', but 'on the scene' might work very well.
