今日の英語ニュースから [2023.03.25]
PBS NewsHour March 24, 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、実際に英語音声を聞きながら、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 ＾＾

We are also deeply concerned by the summary execution of 15 Ukrainian prisoners of war shortly after being captured by Russian armed forces.
[06:12] Back in this country, Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear vetoed a Republican bill focused on transgender children.

[17:31] So let's quit playing with us. Let's start focusing on the real meat and potatoes [* meat and potatoes = the fundamental parts or part; the basis. 主要な部分。重要箇所。基本的な部分] , and that's about student and family success.
[20:52] So, first of all, I think it's really important to acknowledge just how awful the pandemic was for everyone, but for parents in particular. And so I think it would be a big mistake for us to just write off this movement as Astroturf [* 以前の番組に出てきました ] or the product just of politicians who want to stir the pot in order to reap political gold.

[33:32] Why, all of a sudden, is this an issue? And I think it's an issue, given who they're targeting, because they need a foil [* foil = someone or something that serves as a contrast to another. 引き立て役] . The far right needs a foil.
[38:05] And so I think what needs to happen is that people need to -- those really concerned parents, not only do they need to keep rising up. They need allies to rise up with them to add to their numbers, because there are more people who care about those children and care about their education than the rabble-rousing [* rabble-rousing = one that stirs up the masses of the people (as to hatred or violence) 民衆を煽り立てる] parents who are putting the targets on their backs.
