今日の英語ニュース☆2023.11.20☆時事英語・ニュース英語を極める

PBS News Weekend Nov. 19, 2023

今日は上の動画サイトの字幕に多くの誤りや省略があったので（週末版はいつもそうです）、字幕ファイルを作るのはやめて簡単な説明だけにしました。下の語句の説明のところの英語は、実際に英語音声を聞いて誤りを訂正し、省略を補足してあります。

いつものような字幕ファイルが必要な人は、リンク先の方法で簡単にできますので自分で作ってください（元の字幕に含まれている誤りや省略はそのままになります）。自分で字幕ファイルを作れるようになれば、このnoteで字幕ファイルが入手できなくなっても、自分で教材を作ってずっと続けていくことが出来ます。

週末版の字幕は、翌日以降に比較的正確なものに差し替えられるようです。でも、ニュース番組なので、翌日以降に更新されても…

JUDY WOODRUFF: The Carter's claimed the nomination at the Democratic National Convention that July. And, as the fall campaign geared up, Mrs. Carter sat down with Jim Lehrer and Robin MacNeil, making the case for her husband.
ROSALYNN CARTER: When you scrimp and save like we did to build up a business and then get into government, it's unbelievable, the waste and extravagance. That's why I think Jimmy can cut out, and the reason I think he can do it and this is what I hope the American people will understand is that he has no obligations, It's the first time that we have had a chance to elect a president with no strings attached who can just do exactly what's right for the people.
