\u00e6\u2014\u00a5\u00e9\u00a3\u0178 – \u00e3\u0081\u00ab\u00e3\u0081\u00a3\u00e3\u0081\u2014\u00e3\u201a\u2021\u00e3\u0081\u008f – solar eclipse<\/p>\n
This is such a compelling word, with the use of the kanji \u00e9\u00a3\u0178, meaning food, or a meal. It seems something like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the sun is eaten.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It is also interestingly similar to:<\/p>\n
\u00e6\u2014\u00a5\u00e6\u0153\u00ac\u00e9\u00a3\u0178 – \u00e3\u0081\u00ab\u00e3\u0081\u00bb\u00e3\u201a\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u2014\u00e3\u201a\u2021\u00e3\u0081\u008f – Japanese food<\/p>\n
I think this is my new favorite Japanese word, at least for this week. <\/p>\n
As for the subtitle:<\/p>\n
\u00e5\u00a4\u00a9\u00e7\u00a9\u00ba – \u00e3\u0081\u00a6\u00e3\u201a\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u008f\u00e3\u0081\u2020 – the sky
\n\u00e5\u00a4\u00aa\u00e9\u2122\u00bd – \u00e3\u0081\u0178\u00e3\u0081\u201e\u00e3\u201a\u02c6\u00e3\u0081\u2020 – the sun
\n\u00e8\u00a6\u2020\u00e3\u0081\u201e\u00e9\u0161\u00a0\u00e3\u0081\u2122 – \u00e3\u0081\u0160\u00e3\u0081\u0160\u00e3\u0081\u201e\u00e3\u0081\u2039\u00e3\u0081\u008f\u00e3\u0081\u2122 – conceal<\/p>\n
This is a quotation from Homer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Odyssey, and is translated variously from Greek as:
\n-The sun is blotted out of heaven
\n-The Sun has been obliterated from the sky
\n-The sun has perished out of heaven<\/p>\n
These all seem substantially more poetic than the Japanese translation, but I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know which is more authentic to the original.<\/p>\n
Overall a relatively simple headline, but I think it has several interesting points.<\/p>\n<\/span>\u00e6\u2014\u00a5\u00e9\u00a3\u0178
