今日の英語ニュース☆2023.10.01☆時事英語・ニュース英語を極める
PBS News Weekend Sept. 30, 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…

[00:00] Introduction
[01:50]★今日のおすすめ★ Inside McCarthy’s deal with House Democrats to pass 11th-hour funding
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are down to the wire with efforts to avoid a government shutdown at midnight. The House overwhelmingly passed a temporary spending bill Saturday after Speaker McCarthy turned to Democrats for help. But the Senate has to approve the bill too, and it’s not yet clear what they’re going to do. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins has the latest.
《連邦政府閉鎖回避へ; 下院が45日間の「つなぎ予算案」可決; マッカーシー議長が民主党の協力を取り付けて可決; ウクライナへの支援は含まれず; 上院での採決待ち; the House overwhelmingly passed a 45-day temporary spending bill after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, unable to overcome disagreements in his own party, turned to House Democrats for help; more Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans; The measure includes the $16 billion in disaster relief money that President Biden wants, but not the aid for Ukraine that many House Republicans don't want; motion to vacate the speaker is likely; 45日の猶予期間に何をするのか; Kevin McCarthy is a speaker who lives day by day; 》
[03:39] You just heard the speaker say bring it on about a motion, what's called a motion to vacate the speakership. Do you think -- is that going to happen?
[* motion to vacate = 議長解任動議 < In his bid to become speaker of the House, Rep. Kevin McCarthy agreed to a number of concessions to secure the support of Republicans who originally opposed him. One was a rule change to allow just a single member to try to force him from office. Under the new House rules... only one member of Congress -- Democrat or Republican -- is needed to bring a "motion to vacate," which forces a vote on removing the speaker. That would need only a simple majority of the House to pass to oust McCarthy...

[07:22] News Wrap
New York City remains under a state of emergency after Friday’s record rainfall overwhelmed the city’s drainage system and turned roadways into rivers, and the White House is sounding the alarm about a build-up of Serbian troops along the country’s border with Kosovo amid escalating tensions between the two sides.
[08:34]★今日のおすすめ★ Why some areas of cities like Austin get way hotter than others during summer
Cities across the U.S. broke thousands of heat records this summer, but in many of them, some areas were hotter than others. These areas are known as urban heat islands, which can mean higher energy bills and unsafe conditions for residents. Blair Waltman-Alexin of Austin PBS, in partnership with Austin Vida, reports.

[10:42] Areas with impervious cover absorb and reflect the sun's rays, increasing temperatures.

[10:50] Some parts of the city, it is much cooler and other parts of the city are much, much warmer.
Some of this can be traced back to redlining practices that started in the 1930s, when the federal government labeled nonwhite neighborhoods as risky places to invest home loans. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, research shows that redline communities have less vegetative cover, higher temperatures and increased health risks.
If you look at maps that look at health outcomes or maps that look at race or income, they essentially show the same maps. And we, through talking to committee members, understand that they are the most sensitive to heat but also cold, bad air quality and so on.

[14:22] What to know about screening, diagnosis and treatment for prostate cancer
Nearly 300,000 American men are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year alone, though most of those diagnosed don’t die from it. Ali Rogin speaks with Dr. Charles Ryan, a genitourinary oncologist and head of the Prostate Cancer Foundation, about the screening, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and what it means to live with it.
《9月は前立腺がん啓発月間; Prostate Cancer Awareness Month; Charles Ryan, genitourinary oncologist, head of the Prostate Cancer Foundation; アフリカ系アメリカ人男性の罹患率が高い; One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, but that rate increases to one in six for African-American men; a combination of both biological factors, genetic factors as well as societal factors; prostate cancer occurring in a black man is likely to occur earlier in life; PSA test; 前立腺特異抗原; U.S. Preventative Services Task Force; アメリカ合衆国予防医学専門委員会; USPSTF; 前立腺スクリーニング検査は全員に推奨されているわけではない; 20 to 25% of all of the men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the United States may not require any treatment; active surveillance; 》
