St Paul's Cathedral in London at dawn
Dawn and sunrise are two different things in English. Dawn begins when it starts to get light, before the sun appears. Sunrise starts when the first part of the sun can be seen at the horizon.
在英語中黎明 dawn 和日出 sunrise 是兩種完全不同的概念。黎明 dawn 即為破曉，而日出 sunrise 則隨其后。日出指太陽剛剛露出地平線時(shí)的景象。
