今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.20]
PBS News Weekend Feb. 19, 2023
今日は動画サイトの字幕に修正不可能なくらい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語句の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)。
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…

[02:03] 今日のニュースまとめ
[07:21] 週4日勤務制の是非
[09:18] What I'm arguing is that most companies today who operate on a five-day nine-to-five basis could move to a four-day week without necessarily needing to increase headcount [* 社員数、従業員数 the number of people present in a group or employed by a company] and without necessarily damaging their business performance, priorities or productivity.
[12:45] The crucial point to know is that people like bunching leisure. [* to bunch まとめる。束にする。leisure = time free from work or duties (日本語で使う「レジャー」ではなく)勤務時間以外の時間。オフタイム to bunch leisure オフタイムをまとめてとる]
[13:38]★今日のおすすめ★ メンタルヘルス・アプリの個人情報売買
[15:10] We uncovered data brokers selling a range of data about all kinds of mental health conditions dealt with by Americans, ranging from depression and anxiety to PTSD, OCD [* = obsessive-compulsive disorder 強迫神経症]

[19:40] This week, Howard University's swim team is set to compete in their conference [* = 競技連盟] championship. If they win, it will be the first title in more than 30 years.
[20:20] I just want to ask you about this team and what makes it so special. Because I hear that you have quite a crowd showing up at your meets. [* meet = 競技会、スポーツの大会]
[21:19] I do want to talk about what is going on in the world of swimming, when it comes to HBCUs [* = historically black college or university ; historically black college and university]. Because from what I understand, it's only Howard at this poing that has this program.
[24:39] We'd love for people to be inspired by that. We'd love for people to be able to see us as a representation of things that were not in our wheelhouse [* in one's wheelhouse 得意分野である、専門領域である in line with one's interests or abilities ], (we) could be able to accomplish. We want to be that inspiration for them in all aspects of life, not just in swimming.
