今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.18]
PBS NewsHour Feb. 17, 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 ＾＾

[02:44] 今日の主要ニュース
[06:16] With about 40 world leaders in attendance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed for more support, comparing his country's struggle to a David vs. Goliath battle. [* see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath 直後に出てくるslingもこの旧約聖書の話に出てくる。また、ユダヤ人のZelenskyy大統領が、キリスト教と共通の聖典である旧約聖書を引用するのは偶然ではない。]

[17:41] JEANINE PIRRO, FOX News Anchor: The Dominion [* = Dominion Voting Systems 電子投票機の製造メーカー ]software system has been tagged as one allegedly capable of flipping votes. [* to flip votes (有権者が投票した)票を対立候補の票にすり替える]
[18:35] It's a blockbuster case that's been filed by Dominion Voting Services -- Systems, an election tech company that is at the core of a lot of these fraudulent claims of fraud that were ventilated [* to ventilate = to expose something to public discussion ] on FOX News in the immediate aftermath of the November 2020 elections.
[21:16] And yet FOX News time and again brought on [* to bring on (この文脈では)番組に登場させる] people, including then-President Trump, but also his surrogates and champions, people like Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and others,
[22:26] There has to be robust room for there to be rhetoric and hyperbole and overstatement and, yes, at times misstatements, when we're talking about important issues of national and political concern, because that's what the First Amendment envisions. You have to have running room. [* = the space or leeway permitting ample freedom and flexibility to operate, maneuver, or perform without impairment. https://www.dictionary.com/ ] Otherwise, there isn't truly free speech.
[22:45] DAVID FOLKENFLIK: I think it is the most visceral and tangible proof of one of the strongest criticisms of FOX, that it functions in many ways as a political operation and a business enterprise and wraps itself in the word news, even with a cadre of journalists, some of whom very much believe in reporting things straight. I think you saw the lie being given to that. [* to give the lie to = To reveal or prove (something) to be false; to refute. 誤りを明らかにする]

[39:37] AMY WALTER: So, Trump's shadow is still really very, very long here in South Carolina. [* shadow < to cast a long shadow = to have a great, long-lasting influence over someone 長い間大きな影響力を持つ]
[41:02] And when so much of the party messaging right now seems to be pushing back on this idea of a more diverse America, decrying the so-called woke agenda, [*woke = aware of social justice issues; (in some cases) holding progressive views or attitudes ] how do these two candidates fit into that?
[41:45] So, again, trying to really lean in, instead of grievance, leaning into [* to lean into = to embrace wholeheartedly ] the aspiration.

[47:10] What you had here is a grand jury of everyday people who were presented the evidence, and they made a point of saying in that document that we saw no evidence of election fraud, that the election was 100 percent by the board, [*(文脈を考えると) above board(公明正大、やましいところがない)と言いたかったのか!?] which is -- to the big lie, it just blows that up.
[49:43] And you might almost say that there are more people who like Mike DeWine as a Republican than like Donald Trump. And so I maintain the belief that there's another version of that kind of normie Republican. [* normie = Like a normal person; normal]
