ご指名質問:harbinger #2
昨日もアップした鹿児島市桜島の昭和火口での噴火のニュースからです。ここで使われているharbingerはどのような語義で使われているでしょうか。Jakieさん解説お願いします。(Shou-VR*)
Bigger Sakurajima eruption not in cards despite outburst
When contacted by The Japan Times, a meteorological official in Kagoshima described the eruption as testament to the mountain’s “increasingly active status” over the years. But the official, who didn’t want his name released, said Sunday’s outburst should not be regarded as a direct harbinger of a bigger event, such as the 1914 Taisho eruption, which, along with a 7.1-magnitude earthquake, claimed 58 lives and left 112 people injured.
