今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.16]
PBS NewsHour Feb. 15, 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。それ以外の日も番組後半は多め）。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 ＾＾

[06:28] SIMONE CRAWLEY, Granddaughter of Victim: You are a cowardly racist. Every single person that has been instrumental in molding you and supporting you and informing [* to inform = (精神･性格を)形成する(ランダムハウス) To form (the mind or character) by teaching or training. ] you, aiding and supplying weapons needs to be held accountable and not protected, as they have been.
[08:46] The so-called NOTAM [* 以前説明したことがあります https://note.com/wgc888/n/n1980ecad512d#bd75533c-eb1d-483b-be74-fdf69d7f84a5 ]system used to communicate with pilots went down last month and briefly grounded thousands of flights.

[13:33] And it's not a surprise to anyone. The governor in her state of the state address that she gave in January talked about these particular bills. So we're talking about red flag bills,[* 以前説明したことがあります https://note.com/wgc888/n/n6a9f074c92c5#4698913a-e46a-4983-8543-e7edfc47ef9b] universal background checks, and safe and secure storage.
[14:52] That is such a common crime here that, if we were to lock up everyone who illegally carried a gun, we'd have to build more prisons, you know. So, to me, it's not a matter of incarcerating our way through this problem. [* 違反者を刑務所に送ることで問題を解決する(問題から抜け出す) ] It's a matter of making guns less accessible and available to people.

[23:10] And the reasons are pretty straightforward. This is a chemical mix that is pretty easy to make. It's cheap to make. The precursor chemicals [* precursor = 前駆物質,前駆体.化学反応の過程で生成される物の前物質.] do come from China.
[24:35] And so, even if you did manage to get everybody on the same page, and everybody working shoulder to shoulder, [* shoulder to shoulde = In close cooperation.] stopping fentanyl from hitting the streets would be a daunting task.
[24:53] BRIAN MANN: You know, I'm 57 years old, and I came up [* to come up = to grow up ] at a time when, yes, we told people don't do drugs, but the chances were, if you experimented a little bit, played around a little bit, you were probably going to be OK, right? Statistically, that's just the truth.
[26:31] ウクライナ戦争 強まるロシアの攻撃
[26:27] GEOFF BENNETT: NATO described it today as a grinding war of attrition, [* = A prolonged war in which the warring sides try to defeat their opponents by wearing them out. (wiktionary) 消耗戦] the fight over Eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces have launched operations in multiple areas,

[31:36] Brighton is one of Britain's sanctuary cities, [* 以前説明したことがあります https://note.com/wgc888/n/n7b7b23169e29#9d3a0493-138d-47ab-a2b9-eaea9c454288 ] where refugees and economic migrants are welcomed and supposed to feel secure.
[31:45] Yet this quiet residential street was anything but safe for 76 unaccompanied minors temporarily housed in this hotel. It's feared they're now drug runners [* = someone who smuggles drugs] or sex slaves.
[37:25] インドの言論弾圧 首相批判のBBCを脱税査察
[40:03] BOBBY GHOSH, Bloomberg Opinion: Well, the Modi government historically has been very, very thin-skinned [* = oversensitive, especially to criticism or insult.] about any kind of criticism, even the mildest kind of criticism.
[40:34] And this coming from the BBC, an international media outlet with a great deal of credibility, it's much harder for the government to question the BBC. And, therefore, it really goes under their skin. [* to go under someone's skin = to get under someone's skin = to irritate or provoke.]
[44:35] Nikky Finney 詩人、教授、社会正義と文化保護の提唱者 新たな文化センター開設と特別な思い
[44:51] Every artist that has walked in here has said, don't cubbyhole this. [* to cubbyhole = (この文脈では)広い空間を細かく仕切る ] Keep it grand.

[46:42] JEFFREY BROWN: Now she's dedicated herself to the new center, and, on a recent weekend, she opened its doors to the public for a pop-up [* = operating or existing for a brief period only; temporary.期間限定の] artist market.
[49:57] JEFFREY BROWN: History and social justice also come together in a new outlet for Finney's art, a collaboration with the famed Kronos Quartet, now being performed around the country. "At War With Ourselves: 400 Years of You" is an evening-length work [* evening length work or full evening piece.
