UBS TO CUT NEARLY 9,000 MORE JOBS
Switzerland’s largest bank will shed nearly 9,000 more employees
as it tries to recover from the global financial crisis, its CEO
said Wednesday.
———————————————————————-
☆ Words (#sth = something #sb = somebody)
・shed[noun, verb]
⇒ to get rid of sth that is no longer wanted
———————————————————————-
☆ 日本語訳
「UBSが9,000人近くの人員削減」
スイス最大の銀行が世界的な金融危機から脱する為として
9,000人を超える従業員を解雇すると
水曜日、最高経営責任者が発表しました。。
———————————————————————-
☆ 今日の注目ポイント
UBSはスイスの大手銀行で
略さずに書くと「Union Bank of Switzerland」です。
ロゴぐらいは見た方もいるかも知れませんが、投資銀行なので
馴染みはあまりないですね。この不況でかなり苦しそうですが…
「shed」が動詞として使われています。
名詞として「小屋(日よけshadeから来ている?)」などでよく見ますが
「人を解雇する」としても使われます。
ビジネスニュースだと、言い換え単語としてそれなりに出てきます。
CEOは「Chief Executive Officer」でもう日本でもお馴染み、
名ばかりのCEOが多すぎて、最近日本では
CEOの名は廃れてきてる感じもします。
今日は「shed」が解雇にも使われるんだぁ
というぐらいしかトピックがないですが、1日これで十分ですね!

▲実物を読んで、さらに力をつけよう!
———————————————————————-
☆ あとがき
大幅な企業の人員削減が続きます。
雇用は相当苦しそうです。
景気が回復してきても、雇用というのは最後に回復するので
失業者はこれからも増えそうですね。
最近、失業者や一時休業が盛んなため(GW16連休も!?)、
自己啓発に取り組むことが脚光を浴び始めています。
英語を改めて勉強しようとしている方も多いようです。

読者様よりのコメントを紹介いたします。
1部に不正確な訳がありました。
* nearly 9,0000 more employees を 「9,000人を超える~」と訳されて
いますが、文字通りには、「9千人近くの(nearly)更なる(more)~」→
「9千人近くの追加人員削減」です。
