今日の英語ニュースから [2023.03.06]

PBS News Weekend March 5, 2023
今日は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…

[01:56]★今日のおすすめ★　公海の生物多様性を守る条約　国連で合意

[03:09] Jane Fonda: [* 人間が海を汚すことの愚かさをジェーン・フォンダが述べている部分] We depend on the ocean. Even dogs don't poop in their kennel because they know that the kennel provides security and a home for them. We're pooping in our kennel. We're supposed to be so smart. We're destroying things we don't even understand.

[03:58] Rena Lee: The ship has reached the shore. [* 「船が岸に着いた」。「ようやく岸にこぎつけた」。合意に達したことを議長がこう表現した]

[05:36] It is also an incredibly detailed agreement that sets out [* to set out = to explain something, or give exact details, usually in writing (wiktionary) 明確に詳しく記述する。規定する。] a legal framework for establishing High Seas Marine Protected Areas and other area-based management tools.

[06:25] It really is an unprecedented provision -- basically ensures that benefits that are derived from the global commons [* 世界規模で人類が共有する資産。「グローバル・コモンズ」] are shared globally.

[07:40] [* まだ合意しただけで、今後 必要なことを説明した部分] Now, this still has to be ratified [* to ratify 批准する] by many of the partici -- signatory nations [*条約調印国] , is that right?
>> It does. Actually, what occurred last night is that the president of the conference [* 会議の議長 ] finalized the text that will then be going for technical review and translation into all six U.N. official languages, at which time countries will come back and officially adopt it in the near future.

[11:27]★今日のおすすめ★　診療報酬請求コード変更で最適な乳房再建術が受けられなくなる可能性

[11:48] The surgery is known as DIEP flap reconstruction [* ここで話題になっている乳房再建術の名称] .  It uses a person's own blood vessels, fat, and skin to reconstruct the breast [* (乳がんの手術後に)乳房を再建する] . Older, less complex reconstruction methods use abdominal muscles, but they often lead to complications like hernias and muscle weakness.

[12:04] Since 2006, doctors have billed insurance companies for DIEP flap reconstruction using a unique four-digit code. But now, that code is sunsetting over the next two years. [* to sunset 有効期間が設定されていたものが、その期限が来ることで変更や廃止になる。]

[14:35] If we don't win our fight to get this reversed, it's going to end up that the diep flap and other flap surgeries are just not available to underserved women. [* underserved = (medicine) Disadvantaged with regard to health services because of inability to pay, inability to access care, or other disparities for reasons of race, religion, language group or social status.(wiktionary) 医療を受ける際、経済的理由や医療へのアクセスの問題で不利な立場であったり、あるいは、人種、宗教、言語、社会的地位などの格差で不利な立場にあること。]
