[35:54] Marine leaders say they do acknowledge some of the concerns that you're raising, but that, if the Marines are going to play a major part in what the Defense Department calls the pacing challenge, China, they will have to make bold changes, and that they're working to solve some of the vulnerabilities. [* pacing challenge = pacing threat =「pacing threat」は米国の国防計画に関する議論でしばしば使われる言葉であるが、適切な訳語が与えられた例は見受けられない。そもそも、動詞としての「pace」には「ゆっくりと、あるいは一定の歩調で歩く」などの意味のほかに、「［他者の］歩調を設定、あるいは制御する」の意味があるが、「pacing threat」の「pacing」は後者の意味で使用されていると考えられる。すなわち、「pacing threat」は、米軍が紛争時において戦う相手を想定することで、米軍が目指すべき能力や戦力組成・態勢を規定する。すなわち、米国防計画の「歩調を設定（pace）」する「脅威」であることから「pacing threat」なのだといえよう。それが与えるイメージはともかく、純粋に概念として捉えた場合、「仮想敵国」や「対象国」といった言葉が近い。 http://www.nids.mod.go.jp/publication/commentary/pdf/commentary191.pdf]
