今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.02]

PBS NewsHour Feb. 1, 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）。約１時間の番組ですが、実際に英語音声をすべて聞いて、字幕の明らかな誤りなどを訂正し、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　＾＾

[30:54] GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): This course on Black history, what are -- what's one of the lessons about? Queer theory. [* queer theory = an approach to literary and cultural study that rejects traditional categories of gender and sexuality (Merriam-Webster)]

[31:10] And so when you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, [*intersectionality = the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups (Merriam-Webster)] abolishing prisons, that's a political agenda.
