せいりげんしょう

physiological phenomenon; physiological response

普段の生活の中で、「あくび」や「くしゃみ」、「げっぷ」や「おなら」などの生理現象は必ず起こってしまうのですが、これらの英語って学校では勉強しませんでしたよね。

ふだん の せいかつ の なか で、「あくび」や「くしゃみ」、「げっぷ」や「おなら」など の せいりげんしょう は かならず おこって しまう の です が、これら の えいご って がっこう では べんきょう しません でした よね。

In our daily lives, physiological phenomena, such as "yawning" or "sneezing," "burping" or "passing gas," are bound to occur, yet, we never actually learned the English terms for these things in school, did we?

春はあけぼの。 ようよう白くなりゆく、山際少し明かりて、紫立ちたる雲の細くたなびきたる。

- The Pillow Book (枕草子) by Sei Shōnagon

1⃣ Literary translation

In Spring It Is the Dawn. / In spring it is the dawn that is most beautiful.

As the light creeps over the hills, their outlines are dyed a faint red and wisps of purplish cloud trail over them.

2⃣ Literal translation

Spring is dawn.

It is becoming white, the mountain edges are slightly brightening and the purple-risen clouds are thinly trailing.

3⃣ Vocabulary

春（はる）＝ Spring 曙（あけぼの）＝ Beginning

白い（しろい）＝ White なる＝ To become 行く（ゆく）＝ To go (this is older Japanese, now we use いく） 山際（やまぎわ）＝ Mountain ridge, near a mountain, near the edge 明く（あく）= Becomes bright 紫（むらさき）＝ Purple 立つ（たつ）＝ To stand, to rise 雲（くも）＝ Clouds 細い（ほそい）＝ Thin たなびく＝  To trail (of smoke, clouds, etc.), to hang (of mist, haze, etc.),

4⃣ Grammar

白く and 細く = the adverbs of the い-adjectives (い becomes く)

なりゆく、= 行く is used as an auxilary verb to show that the action of it becoming light outside is still ongoing as the narrator is speaking.

明く is an intransitive verb, this means that it does not need an object. It is also mainly, or rather exclusively used to describe the breaking of dawn. (not important)
