Sneeze

Jan 5, 2016 21:11
When you sneeze, you will close your eyes naturally.

This is because to prevent your eyes from popping out (eyeball dislocation).

If you close your eyes strongly, your cheek muscles will rise, and your nasal cavity will expand.

As the result, the breathability of your nose will become smooth, and the pressure on your eyeballs will become suppressed.

Therefore, if you sneeze without closing your eyes, your eyeballs may pop out literally.
くしゃみ

くしゃみをするとき、私たちは自然と目をつぶります。

これは、目玉が飛び出さないよう(眼球脱臼しないよう)にするためです。

目を強く閉じると頬の筋肉が上昇し、鼻腔が広がります。

その結果、空気の通りが良くなり眼球への圧力が抑えられます。

そのため、目を閉じないでくしゃみをすると、文字通り目玉が飛び出すことがあるようです。

     What you wrote was correct but I just rephrased it in a better way.
  • This is because to prevent your eyes from popping out (eyeball dislocation).
  • This is because to prevent your eyes from popping out (which is known as eyeball dislocation).
  • If you close your eyes strongly, your cheek muscles will rise, and your nasal cavity will expand.
  • If you close your eyes tightly, your cheek muscles rises, and your nasal cavity expands.
     Strongly sounds a bit strange as I used tightly instead which are similar, but in this context, the same meaning. I removed the 'will' because in English, it is already implied. You only say 'will' when you try to emphathise something.

     Sorry, I don't understand why you're trying to say here. If you explain to me, I can correct it :)

Thank you very much for the corrections and your comment!

> Sorry, I don't understand why you're trying to say here.
Sorry for my confusing English. I wanted to imply that this sentence and the above sentence has a causal relationship.
That is:
If you close your eyes tightly, your cheek muscles rises.
If your cheek muscles rises, your nasal cavity expands.
If your nasal cavity expands, the breathability (airway) of your nose becomes smooth.
If the breathability of your nose becomes smooth, the pressure on your eyeballs will become suppressed.
If the pressure on your eyeballs becomes suppressed, you can prevent your eyes from popping out.
Therefore, if you close your eyes tightly, you can prevent your eyes from popping out. The mechanism is actually complex.

No problem! Thanks for explaining it, it's very interesting! Are you a medical student?

So I think the best way to phrase it is:
As a result of the nasal cavity expanding, the pressure inside the nose is less intense, which therefore prevents your eyes popping out.

It may be best to seek a second opinion on this though. Your use of breathability and smooth confused me, so just be aware of how you use them next time :) Breathability doesn't mean airway and I have never heard of the word smooth being used in this context.

Best of luck!

I'm an engineering student. Learning such trivial things is one of my hobbies, haha.

Thank you for the advise! I'll be careful to use them. I learned something new, thank you again. :)

     Although what you say makes sense and 90% of English speakers would understand what you mean, breathability refers to moisture in fabric. Not a big deal though

     For 空気の通り, you can also use airway (of the nose)

"Airway" must be more appropriate! Thank you :D

Interesting! From now on I should be more careful when sneezing.

I think the correction is a so clever way to express my thinking.

Haha, actually there are almost no cases that eyeballs are popped out by sneezing.

You're welcome!^_^
