今日の英語ニュースから [2023.02.14]
PBS NewsHour Feb. 13, 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 ＾＾

[32:28] But if you're able to politicize the judges, if you're able to have a bare majority of the Parliament able to override a Supreme Court decision, what you're going to see over time is the evisceration [* evisceration =骨抜きにすること] of that independent judiciary, which has had pride of place in Israel for the 75 years of its existence.

[* perfect storm = a situation in which several problems come together and make everything worse 様々なマイナス要因が重なり、最悪の事態になること] Basically, you have a situation, as you pointed out, the prime minister is in the middle of a corruption trial on three charges. You have got the Ultra-Orthodox. They're mad at the courts because the courts want to always ensure that they are not exempt from the draft. There's a three-year military conscription. And, also, the settler constituency is upset at the courts because they feel that they are a constraint, a brake on settlements in terms of Palestinian land usage and the like.
