今日の英語ニュースから [2023.03.07]

PBS NewsHour March 6, 2023
この番組には英語字幕がついていますが、誤りや省略が少なくありません(特に週末版は多いです。それ以外の日も番組後半は多め)。約1時間の番組ですが、実際に英語音声を聞きながら、字幕の明らかな誤りをすべて訂正し、ニュース英語や時事英語の独特な表現など気になった語句の説明を加えて、字幕ファイルを作りました(書き加えた説明は[*  ] )。

動画サイトの字幕が変だなと思った時、この字幕ファイルで謎が解けるかもしれません ^^

[00:00] 今日の番組内容

[02:16] 今日のニュースまとめ

[06:24] The U.S. Transportation Department says three top airlines have agreed to eliminate family seating fees [* 飛行機で家族が離れた席にならないように頼む際に請求される料金。 以前説明した junk fees の一種 ] in some cases.

[06:31] American, Alaska and Frontier Airlines say they will let parents with young children sit together at no extra cost if seats are available at booking. Those carriers will get a green check mark on a new dashboard that went online today. [* リンク先の"Family Seating Dashboard"をクリックすると緑のチェックマークで対応状況がわかります ]

[06:47] And Wall Street mostly marked time [* to mark time = To stop making progress temporarily; to wait or stand still 足踏みする。足踏み状態である] today. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 40 points to close at 33431. The Nasdaq fell 13 points. The S&P 500 was up two.

[11:33] So we do need to share our data faster when we get it. And we have been actively doing that. And I think you can see some of the responses from our mpox [* = monkeypox サル痘。世界保健機関(WHO)は、差別につながらないようにmonkeypoxではなくmpoxを名称として採用している ] response about how we were getting our data out faster.

[11:48] But you raise a really critical point. And that is, when people ask CDC for data, the most important question is, does CDC have the data that is being asked of us? As you note, we rely on data coming in from 3,000 counties and jurisdictions, 64 states and territories and 574 tribes, and they all report those data voluntarily.

[15:22]★今日のおすすめ★ パンデミックでベビー・ブーム

[15:22] Well, the COVID pandemic had impacts both big and small. One unexpected effect? A bit of a baby boom. It's the first major reversal in declining U.S. fertility rates since 2007. Special correspondent and "Washington Post" columnist Catherine Rampell reports on the surprise pandemic baby bump. [* baby bump = noticeable abdominal swelling in a pregnant woman. 妊娠で大きくなったお腹。妊婦のおなか。bumpには「一時的な増加」の意味もある。]

[16:09] So I was like, OK, this is my year. I just got new headshots [* = A one-page, double-sided resume of an actor, consisting of the actor's photograph (usually of the head and shoulders) on one side and their curriculum vitae on the other.] , I just had like a great meeting with my agent, and I'm going to go for it. [* To put maximum effort into achieving something; To decide to do something, especially after a period of hesitation] I'm going to get this dream job. And then the pandemic hit.

[17:24] [* 新型コロナのパンデミックによる景気後退では、出生率の点で、他の景気後退では見られない特徴があった。それを説明している部分 ] What's so interesting about the pandemic recession is that, instead of birth rates falling, they actually went on to rise. It's not a big increase, I should say. A lot of people say, oh, this is just a blip. That's true. But what's surprising is that, instead of seeing missing births, a massive decline, we have actually seen a slight increase, which surprised all of us.

[17:55] I got pregnant when I was on the IUD [* = intrauterine device 避妊リング ] .

[20:53] MARTHA BAILEY: The closure of childcare, the closure of schools, remote schooling for their kids, those things were tricky. That was not the right time to expand your family. On the other hand, a lot of people without children didn't have those same constraints.
CATHERINE RAMPELL: So, people who were already trapped at home with a toddler or a kindergartner, they said...
MARTHA BAILEY: Or two.
CATHERINE RAMPELL: ... no mas. [* (Spanish) no more]

[23:53] 女子生徒の不可解な中毒、人権問題、核兵器開発 イラン専門家に聞く

[30:44] BRETT MCGURK, White House Coordinator For the Middle East and North Africa: In the last two years, the United States has acted militarily against threats from Iran and its proxies. We have enhanced the deterrent capacity of our partners, established new and innovative maritime domain awareness [* 海上領域認識。海洋状況把握。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritime_domain_awareness ] that works and, at times, through close cooperation, exposed and deterred imminent threats to the region.

[31:17] You know, all those things are necessary, but not sufficient from deterring Iran and from changing the regime's calculus. The cadre of men at the helm today are ultra hard-line. And the things that they remember are actually the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, besting [* to best = to get the better of; to outdo; to defeat 出し抜く ] America in Syria in recent years, if you will, showing that the regime has greater staying power than the U.S. in the heartland of the Middle East,

[31:52] So, all those things are necessary, but not sufficient, to change the calculus on the nuclear file. A resolution of censure is the price floor. [* 価格の下限。下限価格。この文脈では「最低でも非難決議が必要だ」] You need Security Council referral, and ultimately a snapping back or a restoration of tougher multilateral sanctions that used to exist prior to the 2015 nuclear deal.

[32:43] 2024年大統領選 共和党候補者選び リポートのあと2人の共和党関係者に聞く

[34:01] DONALD TRUMP, Former President of the United States: Republicans must compete using every lawful means to win. That means swamping [* to swamp 打ち負かす] the left with mail-in votes, early votes and Election Day votes.

[35:22] MICHAEL KNOWLES: Nobody is calling to exterminate anybody, because the other problem with that statement is that transgender people is not a real ontological category. [* = 「存在範疇」という訳が辞書にあったが、ここでは、「トランスジェンダーの人達というのは、実在するカテゴリーではない」くらいの意味と思われる] It's not a legitimate category of being.

[35:36] Transgender is a recognized category in science, medicine and, per [*  = according to ] one recent study, the identity of some 1.6 million Americans.

[36:31] and David Avella, chairman of GOPAC, a Republican super PAC which trains and assists candidates up and down the ballot.[* 大統領候補から地方議員候補まで ]

[41:00] When you look at Governor Hogan, who said "I am not going to run in this field," now, he is firmly a Reagan Republican, right, even wrote in [* = to vote for a candidate not on the ballot by writing his or her name. 投票用紙に名前のない人(候補者でない人)の名前を記入して投票する ] Ronald Reagan for president in 2020, instead of voting for then-candidate Trump.

[42:41] And to use David's word oxygen, that means he's denying Donald Trump some of the oxygen that Donald Trump needs, which is, he's spoiling for a fight. [* to spoil for a fight = to be very eager to fight or argue けんかがしたくてウズウズする ]

[44:09] (再放送) 先住アメリカ人芸術家

[46:26] Forge is about establishing presence, right? It's about indigenous placemaking. [* placemaking = Planning, designing and managing public spaces, while giving consideration to the communities that will inhabit them.]
