AIG、役員たちの休日

FORBES　より　

"American International Group has some explaining to do. The insurance company /that needed a whole lot of help from the government to make up for its bad decisions/ doesn't seem to think it should be cutting back on discretionary spending.

American International Group has come under increased scrutiny /after it was revealed /on Monday at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform/ that the company paid $440,000 for an event held at a posh California spa （that was listed as an executive retreat）. The the little getaway for over 100 people / that included golf outings and lavish hotel accommodations came / while the government was setting the company up with $85.0 billion to keep it from filing for　bankruptcy protection. "

AIGってAmerican International Group なんですね。

めっちゃふてぶてしい名前ですね笑。

ざっくばらん訳

救済を必要としてたAIGは、実は、社員100人でホテルで豪遊してました！そんなこんなでAIGには、監視の目が注がれてます。けしからん。

☆ポイント☆

reveal 見たら　that節　探す!!

make up for : を補う

sucrutiny : 監視　　（security(証券)と似てて、新聞だと読み間違えやすいので注意!!）

getaway : 逃走

reveal : を明らかにする　＝unveil 　(wall street journalとかでよく見ます。)

lavish : たっぷり

bankruptcy : 倒産

MUFG、モルスタ どーなる!?

ロイターより引用

"TOKYO (Reuters) - Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group , Japan's top bank, said it has no plans to back out of its $9 billion investment in Morgan Stanley, although the global market sell-off has sent shares of the U.S. firm sharply lower.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has granted regulatory approval to Mitsubishi UFJ's bid to take one fifth of the U.S. bank but that failed to calm jittery investors who pushed Morgan Stanley's shares down 25 percent on Tuesday.

The deal is expected to close after a five-day post-approval waiting period, Morgan Stanley has said.

"There is no truth to the rumours that we will pull out of our agreement with Morgan Stanley," a spokesman for the Japanese bank said.”

MUFGは、モルスタから資金を引き上げる気はさらさらないぜ。って感じですね。

☆ポイント☆

海外では、東京三菱UFJはMitsubishi UFJ Financial Group なんですね。

send: sendの過去分詞。sendって実は4文型（SVOC）をとるのですね。

　　　　つまり、the global market sell-off/ has sent /shares of the U.S. firm /(sharply) lower.

the global market の売りは、アメリカのファームの株をめちゃ下げてる　　　となるんですね。

approval: 同意　新聞に出まくり単語です。

be eｘpected to V: Vすると期待されている。　英作文に使えます。

Nobel Prize

the new york times (oct 7)より引用

"An American and two Japanese physicists on Tuesday won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work exploring the hidden symmetries between elementary particles that are the deepest constituents of nature."

"Ever since Galileo, physicists have been guided in their quest for the ultimate laws of nature by the search for symmetries, or properties of nature that appear the same under different circumstances.

However, in the 1960s, Dr. Nambu, who was born in Tokyo in 1921, suggested that some symmetries in the laws of nature might be hidden or “broken” in actual practice. 

A pencil standing on its end, for example, is symmetrical but unstable and will wind up on the table pointing in only one direction or the other. The principle is now embedded in all of modern particle physics."

三人が一番深い構成要素の隠れた対象性をexpｌoreしたworｋでノーベル賞をもらった。

Nambuは、いくつかの対象性の自然法則は、隠れているか、実際壊れているかも！！と主張した。

たとえば、ペンの先でたてても、対照的だけど、結局、一つどっかの方向差してテーブルに倒れる。

これの隠れた対象性はもちろん現代物理に埋め込まれてるぜ！

みたいな。

よくわからないね。。

ただ、日本の報道は”日本人３人受賞”に対し、USのメディアは”米人１人、日本人２人”てのがウケる。

一人の方は、日本生まれでアメリカ国籍を取得したからだそうですね。

☆ポイント☆

suggest 見たら　大概　that＋S+V　！！

訳すときは、適当に。

（TOEICは、deepなことはほぼ聞いてこない）

physics:物理

circumstance:現象

wind up: end up :になる
