A small stream in Engpsh can be referred to as "a creek".

Creek comes from the Middle Engpsh word "crike", which is thought to have originated from the Old Norse word "kriki", meaning a narrow inlet or bend in a river.

Here are some example sentences in Engpsh with their Chinese translations:

The creek runs through the forest and into the lake.
小溪流经森林进入湖泊。

We hiked down to the creek to fill our water bottles.
我们徒步下到小溪补充水。

The sound of the creek was soothing as we sat by the bank.
坐在岸边时，小溪的声音让我们放松。
