tremor 復習
阿蘇山の噴火警戒レベルが2から1へと引き下げられました。
Media allowed nearer Kyushu volcano to inspect damage
Reporters were allowed to inch closer to the Nakadake peak of Mount Aso on Feb. 8 after the alert level was lowered to 1 the day before.
The media were allowed within a kilometer of the No. 1 crater of the peak, which erupted in October 2016.
However, for the time being, the public is still not allowed to approach within 1 km.
The eruption, the most violent in 36 years, sent a towering plume of smoke and ash into the sky.
It is the first time the alert level has been lowered to 1 in two and a half years due to a decline in volcanic tremors.

今回取り上げるのはtremor /ˈtrem·ər/ です。『ライトハウス英和辞典』(第5版 研究社)で調べると、「1(小さな)地震、微震、余震 2(恐怖、快感、興奮による)ぞくぞくする思い、身震い 3震え、震動、声の震え(in)」とありました。今回は1つ目の意味の「(小さな)地震、微震、余震」の意味で用いられています。
LDOCEには “a small earthquake in which the ground shakes slightly” や “a slight shaking movement in your body that you cannot control, especially because you are ill, weak, or upset” と定義されており、身震いの場合は病気や動揺などが原因で自分ではコントロールできないものを指すようです。記事の “volcanic tremors” という部分は、火山性微動を表していると考えられます。(aqua)
