请问风水先生用英文如何表达
它是否等于GEOMANCY
如果我用FENGSHUI，别人能够理解吗？
还有风水先生和算命先生一样吗？

Selected
fung shui specialist
"风水师"英文翻译 fung shui specialist; fung shui’ specialist
"风水士"英文翻译 geomancer
Both are OK.
fung shui is a loan phrase in English. Even if some people don't understand it, they can always check it online to figure it out.

Geomancer is something in other cultures. A geomancer's job is very different to what a fengshui specialist does. So, if you are translating from Chinese to English, "fengshui specialist" is much more accurate than geomancer.
So, you may refrain from using geomancer.

风水先生和算命先生不一样， 前者看建筑物，后者看的对象是人。

"风水士"英文翻译 geomancer 这句话抄自网页。"风水士"、"风水师"在中文里都很少用，风水先生是更常见的说法。

Note from asker:
| 风水士 这个用法是日文吧，因为在中文里都用师 对吗？ |
| so we could assume geomancy and FENGSHUI refer to the same thing??? |

很多以英语作为母语的人都知道 feng shui 是什麽，他们应该会明白。

看定义，GEOMANCY 和 “风水” 有些不同。
