auspicious 復習
ミャンマーで実施された選挙は，NLDが現与党のUSDPと大差で勝利しました。開票で明らかになっている80%以上の議席のうち，3分の2以上をNLDが獲得しております。
記事の中で気になった単語は"auspicious"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）によると「<機会･始まりなどが>幸先の良い, 吉兆の, 将来の明るい」などという意味がありました。ODには"Conducive to success; favourable"と定義されております。"auspicious day"で「吉日」といえると思います。（Ume）
Myanmar election: Suu Kyi's NLD wins landslide victory
The Burmese like their numbers. So just maybe Myanmar's Union Election Commission waited for an auspicious day.
Five days after polls closed, and exactly five years to the day since Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest, her party's majority in parliament was confirmed.
This historic outcome had been clear, but unofficial since early results on Monday and Tuesday.
Earlier this week outside the headquarters of the NLD there had been jubilant scenes as results came in. Now as the majority was confirmed there was nobody. It may have been because the result was a foregone conclusion.
Or, more likely, the NLD were respecting the wishes of Aung San Suu Kyi. Earlier this week she called on her supporters to avoid triumphalism and respect the feelings of those that lost.
