Der erste Übersetzungsvorschlag ist aber ganz wörtlich zu verstehen, also oberhalb von etwas stehen. Der zweite - to be above something (or: such a thing) - könnte passen, du müsstest halt etwas umformulieren (But you're above that, aren't you?).

danke!

Und um es kurz zu halten könnte man das so sagen:

"Be above!"

"Stay above!"

Also "knackiger" wie

"But you're above that, aren't you?"

geht es wohl nicht??

Be above it!

ginge evtl. (kontextabhängig)

hast recht, also ich suche einen Namen für eine Location die sehr hoch ist und wo man abschalten soll.

"Stay above" ist inhaltlich richtig, aber mir fehlt eine inhaltliche "botschaft", eine Zweideutigkeit. Und da würde halt im deutschen "über etwas stehen" passen

Äääh... du bist dir aber schon bewußt, das die Dinge "über denen man steht" entweder z.B. sehr unangenehme Beleidigungen sind oder der Hoipolloi über den man sich erhaben fühlt, beides nicht wahnsinnig positiv und mit Entspannung verbunden. Wie soll das für eine Botschaft sein? 

Wie eastworld sagt geht "stay above" gar nicht. Stay above what? Das heißt konkret sich über einer gewissen physikalischen Grenze befinden (müssen). "Always stay above the red line when using this attraction." "Stay above in the loft, don't come down to the street."

Bei hoch oben sein und abschalten denke ich eher an "cloud nine" z.B.

So etwas gehört unbedingt bei der Anfrage schon in #0 mit dazu.

Hier geht es ja um eine Art Wortspiel.

Was ist das für eine location. Ein Restaurant? (Oder ein Kletterpark?)

pinschelines verärgerten Einwand in #9 verstehe ich nicht recht. Man kann doch auch einfach nur über den Alltagsproblemen stehen wollen - auch seinen eigenen.

ich überlege ja nur... dnake ja!

Das ist witzig, heisst wolke 7 im engl. eher wolke 9?

Nicht eher, sondern tatsächlich. Cloud 7 gibt es nicht. Und im Deutschen ist es der 7.Himmel.

I believe the expression is 'to rise above something' but the others are OK:

'You're better than this - you should rise above it'

e.g.

.... and yes, Cloud 9!

Das hat zwar nicht dieselbe Bedeutung wie "Steh drüber", aber vielleicht kannst du es trotzdem verwenden. Es hat folgende Vorteile:

1) passt sehr gut zu "einer Location die sehr hoch ist"

2) ist auch ein Wortspiel im positiven Sinne, d.h. mit einer positiven Aussage.

...bedeutet also, dass man alles gut im Griff hat, alles unter Kontrolle hat; man ist in der Lage, alles Mögliche zu meistern...

#18: No.

To stay on top of things means to juggle a challenging set of circumstances without being overwhelmed.

To rise above something means to ignore the nonsense and come out better for it.

#27: I couldn't agree more. The fact that "rise" implies movement has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the phrase, and the suggestion in #24 seems to ignore the fact that "to stay on top of" something has a completely different meaning in English.

The "darüber" that the OP is looking for is provided with the "above" in "rise above it".

I don't see anywhere in this thread where suggestions from ENS are being ignored. It is possible to prefer one suggestion over another. That doesn't mean that a person has ignored the others.

My last comment: wupper, your suggestions are incorrect. Maybe Pipper has more patience than I do.

As far as I understood, the OP is looking for a wordplay for his venue, which is high up somewhere. That's all that's required. If you want to suggest something closer to the German, feel free. But why you are aggrieved because I like a translation that fits the bill, even if it isn't a literal translation of the OP's suggestion, is beyond me.

wupper is an ENS, by the way.

It actually sounds more like a place where juggling a challenging set of circumstances (staying on top of things) is irrelevant and more like a place where people are supposed to remove themselves from the clamour of below, hence rising above it. Presumably you also have to take the stairs or a lift/escalator up there, which is why any objection to a verb of movement is unnecessary.

I don't think "staying on top of things" is irrelevant in this context and I also think that the phrase is more flexible than only "juggling a challenging set of circumstances". It can also just mean having everything under control, being able to work out or avoid problems. In this context, if these are stressed-out businessmen going up to the top floor to relax they could easily joke about how they are "staying on top of things" while sipping their gin and tonic. Literally they are on top of things by being on the top floor and figuratively they have everything under control (or at least they think so in their drunken stupor!).

I think it would make for a clever slogan and thought it was a worthwhile suggestion. If you prefer your own suggestion or some other one then so be it. I certainly wouldn't assume it is because you are ignoring other suggestions.

"Abschalten", as we understand the term these days in this context, means leaving your problems behind, not trying successfully to keep things under control.

"Stay" only works if this is somekind of retreat with beds, but "things" is rather clunky.

Above are some examples of "rise above it (all)" used figuratively and literally in the same sentence in the leisure and tourism context. I think I've said all that I need to say on this topic.

PHRASE

3 in control of what is happening

on top of things:

http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary... 

on top of something

But I don't agree with your characterization:

Possibly it's an AE/BE thing, but "to stay (or keep) on top of things" sounds like a completely normal and idiomatic expression to me; I don't hear any trace of clunkiness in it. It also googles quite well, if that means anything. And "stay" works just fine for me to describe people hanging out in a lounge.

Edit: Even two English dictionaries give "to stay on top of things" as an example sentence. I really don't understand any objections.
