Sample Sentences for 淋しい
其の日は一日淋しいペンの音を聞いて暮した。其の間には折々千代々々と云う声も聞えた。文鳥も淋しいから鳴くのではなかろうかと考えた。然し縁側へ出て見ると、二本の留り木の間を、彼方へ飛んだり、此方へ飛んだり、絶間なく行きつ戻りつしている。少しも不平らしい様子はなかった。
I spent that day listening to the lonely scrapings of a pen. During that time, from time to time, I heard a Java sparrow twittering. It occurred to me that maybe Java sparrows twitter out of loneliness too. I walked out to the veranda to see. Nevertheless, flying to and fro between two perches busily and incessantly, it did not show the slightest hint of grievance.
彼女はさびしい時はいつも音楽で心を慰めていました。
She always comforted herself with music when she was lonely.
