今日の英語ニュース☆2023.09.17☆時事英語・ニュース英語を極める

PBS News Weekend Sept. 16, 2023

今日は上の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簡単な語句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）。自分で字幕ファイルを作れるようになれば、このnoteで字幕ファイルが入手できなくなっても、自分で教材を作ってずっと続けていくことが出来ます。

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…

[02:00]　Key takeaways from Texas Senate’s acquittal of AG Paxton’s corruption charges

The GOP-controlled Texas Senate voted Saturday to acquit state Attorney General Ken Paxton on 16 articles of impeachment, including bribery, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and abuse of the public trust. The charges largely centered on Paxton’s relationship with a wealthy donor. Austin American-Statesman investigative reporter Tony Plohetski joins John Yang to discuss the trial and what’s next.

[10:11]★今日のおすすめ★　What’s changed for women in Iran one year after Mahsa Amini’s death

It has been one year since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died after morality police arrested her in Tehran. Her death unleashed decades of pent-up anger over Iran’s clerical rule and sparked the country’s biggest protests in years. Human rights activist Nazanin Boniadi joins John Yang to discuss whether life has changed for Iranian women living under strict Islamic law in the past year.
《Mahsa Amini; マフサ・アミニの死からちょうど１年、one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death; morality police; 風紀警察、風紀取り締まり警察、 hijab; ヒジャーブ、ヒジャブ、Nazanin Boniadi; ナザニン・ボニアディ; Amnesty International Ambassador; 》

[17:31] There is an epitaph on Mahsa “Zhina” Amini's grave that says, "Your name will become our code." And, it did because her legacy is one of fighting for, for a normal life, which is the middle slogan of "Women, Life, Freedom." We can't forget that women's rights is just one pillar of what they are fighting for, and the other two being a normal life, the right to live your life in a -- just a free way and freedom being the last word in this slogan. And, those two last words apply to all Iranians. So, this has really captured the national aspiration. Now men are standing with women and, actually, more young men have been killed in the past year than women. But, that shows the solidarity, something that really strikes fear into this misogynistic and patriarchal regime.

[* codeについて： (墓碑は英語で書かれているわけではないと思うので、英語に訳した時点で、原意とずれているかもしれない。でも、文脈を考えると次のような意味ではないかと思われる) code = (この文脈では)「自由を求めるイラン国民の運動」という言葉の代わりに使われる、その意味を割り当てられた言葉。運動を象徴する言葉。]

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we return to our “Hidden Histories” series with a look at the legacy of Jose Sarria, a Latino American political activist and drag performer who left his mark on U.S. history by paving the way for gay candidates.

[22:09] When Sarria was honorably discharged from the Army in 1947, he went back to San Francisco, eager to use his GI Bill benefits to become a teacher. But, undercover officers arrested him for solicitation. To avoid publicity, he pleaded guilty, only to learn later that it disqualified him from teaching.
