■今日の注目語句
[07:13] And as I understand it, they've only been testing or this only have been effective, found to be effective among patients with a certain genetic pattern. How widespread is that? How many colorectal cancer patients have that genetic pattern?
>> So about 15% of the patients have these types of cancers called mismatch repaired-deficient type of colon cancers. So in those patients, these immunotherapy drugs can work beautifully. In the past, conventional chemotherapy was not effective against these patients, but now with immunotherapy, we can actually make a difference for these patients.
[** mismatch repaired-deficient = see: http://www.jsco-cpg.jp/precision-medicine/guideline/
see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_mismatch_repair ]
[12:56] So Austin's population increased, especially during the pandemic. About 6% between 2020 and 2022 and demand for housing increased as well. This drew a lot of developers to build apartments and maybe, as it turned out, too many apartments. One report showed that, as of last fall, almost 20,000 more multi-family units were delivered than released.
[** deliver = to complete the construction or development of housing units, making them ready for occupancy or use //
release = to make completed housing units available for sale or rent to potential buyers or renters. ]
[15:05] At the same time, this gap between housing costs and the gap between income has been growing for over a decade in Austin and other parts of the nation.
>> This earning gap didn't just increase the going rate for housing in Austin. It also skewed a number that has a big impact on low-income housing, the median family income, or MFI, sometimes referred to as the AMI or average median income. Noelia Mann, interim director of the eviction mitigation team at Boston explains.
>> So if you're having an influx of high-income earners, right, that's going to tip the scale. But for the most part, newer affordable housing programs are actually tied to the AMI. The AMI goes up, but working-class families' income is not increasing in the same way. So the affordability I would say is actually going the opposite way. It's getting less affordable for regular working-class people in Austin.
>> So when the MFI increases, the amount landlords can charge for affordable housing also increases. But experts say wages for lower-income workers aren't keeping up.
[* going rate = the current or prevailing price; market price ]
[** MFIが上がると低所得者層の家賃負担が大きくなる理由を説明している箇所 (全体で見ると家賃は下がって来ているのに低所得者層の家賃負担はむしろ大きくなっている理由)//
MFI = median family income//
AMI or average median incomeと上で言っているが辞書などではAMI = area median income ]
[16:26] Once folks spend more than 30% of their income on housing and utility-related costs, that means they're cutting funding from somewhere else, whether that's child care or health care or other basic provisions of life.
[** provisions of life = essential supplies and services necessary for basic living and well-being, such as food, healthcare, and other fundamental necessities ]
[17:22] For Jaimes and others who can't afford their rent now, once she puts in her notice, she says she has about 60 days.
[** put in her notice = to give notice; (in this context) to notify the landlord that she intends to move out, ending her lease ]
