Hunger - ひもじい経験

Hunger suffered in the years of food shortage after the war -- World War II -- was painful.  But it was a relief after the wartime experience of hunger under nearly daily blitz without any idea of when the days of destruction will come to an end, if ever.  Misery is relative.

世界大戦の戦後の食糧困難の頃のひもじさは惨めでしたけど,それでも戦時中の,殆ど毎日連続の空襲爆撃の何時終わる日が来るか全く予想の付かなかったか日々のひもじい経験と比べると思いがけなく楽でした。惨めさも比較的なものですね。
