Is "毁灭" the best word to use here?

Question

I am trying to translate this sentence:

Explore a beautiful, vast and ruined world riddled with dangers and lost technologies.

After consulting Google Translate, this is what I came up with:

探索一个美丽，充满危险和丢失的科技，广阔而毁灭的世界。

Is "毁灭" the best term to use here? I found a lot of translations for "ruined" (such as "废墟" & "破败") and I'm not sure which one is appropriate in this context.

Answer 1

毁灭 = 'to destroy'

'ruined' here is an adjective that means '毁灭了的/ 残破的'

'ruined world' = 毁灭了的世界/ 残破的世界

Explore a beautiful, vast, and ruined world riddled with dangers and lost technologies.

探索一个美丽(的)，广阔而残破(的)，充满危险和失落(的)科技的世界。

The term 'lost technologies' is usually translated as 失落的科技 or 遗失的科技. '丢失' is more suitable for a recent event; 失落的/ 遗失的 is more suitable for a distant event

Either 残破的世界 or 破败的世界 is better than 毁灭的世界

• 美丽的世界

• 广阔而残破的世界

• 充满危险和遗失的科技的世界

• 探索一个美丽，广阔而残破，充满危险和遗失科技的世界。

When putting the three above phrases together to form a single sentence, you can just keep the last 的 and omit the rest. The 的 before 世界 serves as the adjectival marker for all the adjectives in this sentence

• 好看的车

• 贵价的车

• 全新的车

• 好看，贵价，全新的车
