今日の英語ニュースから [2023.03.26]

PBS News Weekend March 25 2023
今日は動画サイトの字幕に非常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…

[01:52]　今日のニュースまとめ

[04:10] And, Gordon Moore, the cofounder of Intel has died. He was known as one of the fathers of Silicon Valley and for Moore's law [* ムーアの法則。「半導体の集積度は18カ月ごとに倍になる」というもの。この後、英語で説明があるが、そこでは「２年で約２倍」と言っている] , his 1960's prediction that computing power would roughly double every two years for the foreseeable future, making computers smaller, faster and cheaper. It's held true for decades and is a driving source of technological and social change and economic growth. Moore was 94 years old.

[06:29] There are pilots who have been going to their doctors for years, saying, "I flew. There has got to be something there there." [* 「私はパイロットだった。それが体調不良と何らかの関係があるに違いない。」 比較：there is no there there = Nothing significant is occurring in that situation. There is nothing significant to it. ]

[08:55] Why did this have to be done in two phases like this? >> That was, kind of, the same question I was asking. You know, when I saw the way it was constructed, I think it was to get buy-in [* support; willingness to actively support and participate in something (such as a proposed new plan or policy) 支持。賛同。動詞はto buy in ] . Every single time with a piece of legislation, you often see a study required first. That's usually because it's a lot easier for members to buy in on a study than it is to immediately buy in on "we need to fix this because these guys are suffering."

[10:49]　遠ざかる医療へのアクセス　患者の声と専門家へのインタビュー

[12:56] I needed to see a gastroenterologist [* 胃腸科専門医 ] about a year ago and I managed to get a 15-minute call with one and I got charged $900 for that 15-minute call. And, my insurance company, which was costing me quite a bit of money, would not pay most of it because they said I had a deductible [* 控除免責金額。免責。 以前の番組にも出てきました ] for that. So, I was just really exasperated. It's all very expensive and the care seems to be sort of inaccessible.

[19:33] Paleontology, the study of fossils, [* paleontology = a science dealing with the life of past geologic periods as known from fossil remains (wiktionary). paleo- (“ancient”) +‎ onto- (“being”) +‎ -logy (“study”) 古生物学] is one of the few fields where discoveries can come from experts and amateurs alike.

[20:07] On Christmas morning, 9-year-old Mollie Sampson put one of her new presents to good use. A pair of waders [* wader = (chiefly in the plural) a waterproof boot that comes up to the hip, used by fishermen, etc.(胸または腰までの)長靴、胴長、ウェイダー] perfect to help in the hunt for an ancient shark tooth.

[21:52] You would think that after 200 years of, kind of, Western culture collecting fossils from along Calvert Cliffs, we would know everything that there is to know about both the geology and the diversity of organisms that lived here during the Miocene Epoch [*中新世] . But, in fact, we don't and every year we continue to make new discoveries.

[24:16] Paleontology is one of the disciplines of science where the avocational community [* avocational < avocation = a hobby or recreational or leisure pursuit. (仕事ではなく)趣味 ] , with whom we collaborate regularly, can make a significant contribution.
