今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.17]
PBS NewsHour Feb. 16, 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 ＾＾

[06:10] But the cost -- we did get some of the cost data from the Air Force and from the GAO [* = Government Accountability Office 政府説明責任局(旧称：General Accounting Office 会計検査院)] about what it takes to fly these fighter jets.
[06:20] So the cost per flying hour of an F-22 is $85,000 per hour. The cost per flying hour of an F-35 is $40,000. And each missile that is fired to shoot down these objects costs over $400,000, as well as the tanker aircraft [* 空中給油機] which have been used in a number of these situations cost $25,000 to $30,000 an hour, depending on which tanker they use.
[06:43] Ultimately, Amna, it costs a decent [* =significant; substantial かなりの] amount of money to shoot down all of these objects that have been found in U.S. airspace.
