桐壺21：それにつけても世のそしりのみ多かれど、この御子のおよすげもておはする御かたち心ばへ有り難く珍しきまで見え給ふを、えそねみあへ給はず。
それにつけても一般的には批判的な声が多かったのだけれど、この第2皇子が次第に成長していく御器量や御性格がそこらにはないほどに御立派に見えるので、女房どももこの皇子をずっと恨み通すことはできなかった。
N君：Generally, the Emperor's favoritism toward Kiritsubo and her baby, the second Prince, was criticized. However, as the baby grew, his figure and character looked so rarely brilliant that the jealous ladies could not keep on envying him all along.
S先生：英作文としてはまずまずですが、女房たちが恨みに思った相手は帝なのか、桐壺更衣なのか、第2皇子なのか。私は桐壺更衣だったろうと思います。
Many of the people criticized the ceremony for its luxury. But as the baby grew up, both his figure and character looked so graceful and dignified that the ladies thought (that) they could not have a grudge against him though they had a great hatred for his mother.
N君：dignified「威厳のある」
