English to Japanese: Brexit: what about currencies? General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English We have had anticipation on how market's will respond to the outcome of the referendum, that is, panic selling and rising safe-havens on a Brexit, relief and high yielders soaring on a Bremain. But is that simple, really? It could be, on a temporal time frame, with long-lasting effects on the Pound. No matter the outcome, and worse if the result is neck to neck, the UK will end up injured and split after this, and would take some time to heal the wounds. And the Pound will suffer too.
The GBP/USD pair will be reacting to partial results starting at 22:00 GMT, when polls close. The final results then, will be out sometime between midnight and dawn. At this point, the market is pricing in a victory of the "remain" which means that if that side wins, the Pound can advance further, up to 1.5000 against the greenback. A large victory of the "leave" on the other hand, will result in the GBP/USD pair plummeting towards 1.4250 probably, and even down to the 1.4000 region, if the difference is of 10% or more. The bearish momentum in Pound's crosses, will likely extend into the upcoming week.
English to Japanese: Medical: MORE OPTIONS ACROSS A WIDENING HORIZON General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English MORE OPTIONS ACROSS A WIDENING HORIZON
The growing popularity of seeking surgery or other medical procedures overseas has been fuelled as of late by a confluence of evolving factors. In the US, it is no secret that health care costs have been steadily on the rise for years. A flurry of recent media coverage in major outlets has cast in stark relief the cost inequities between the US and elsewhere for both simple and complex medical interventions.
In addition to this expanded awareness of lower cost health options beyond borders, travel and hotel accommodations are becoming cheaper and easier to find. Moreover, information technology is now deftly linking prospective patients to a range of health service providers, near and far, and empowering this population to circumvent the legacy medical system and find alternative choices in many different regions.
Translation - Japanese 国境を越えた医療の選択
最近の著しい技術の進歩により、国境を越え手術や医療サービスを受けることへの関心が高まってきている。米国において、長年にわたり医療費が確実に上昇していることは周知の事実である。簡単な診断から難しい手術に至るまで、最近米国主要メディアが一斉に、米国と他国の医療費について書き立て、その格差が浮き彫りとなった。
米国外へ出ると医療費が安くなるという選択の拡大に加え、渡航や宿泊などにかかる費用も以前より安く、（そうした渡航・宿泊の手段を）見つけやすくなってきている。さらに、今では情報技術の進化により、実際の距離に関係なく、患者予備軍となる人々を幅広い医療機関に素早くつなげることが可能になっている。従来の医療システムに代わる様々な治療方法を他国で見つけ出すことができるのである。
English to Japanese: Admissibility and weight of evidence General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Law (general)
Source text - English Admissibility and weight of evidence
Although evidence of information about a particular fact may be admissible, the court will not necessarily believe or act on that evidence.
If the information about a fact is the direct observation of a witness, the court may simply disbelieve the witness. This may occur for a number of reasons. For example, it may have been a long time since the events in question happened, the witness may give confused testimony, or may have some physical incapacity (e.g. poor eyesight) or have some personal inclination or motivation that causes the court to disbelieve their evidence.
More usually, evidence of information given in court will not be 'direct observation' evidence. Instead it will be evidence that suggests, or from which it can be inferred, that a particular fact occurred. In this regard, the weight of evidence of a record can be adversely affected if it is not contemporaneous with the events it documents (i.e. if it is created well after the events it purports to record).
Translation - Japanese 証拠の許容性と重要性
ある特定の事実を立証する情報において、証拠の許容性が認められるような場合でも、裁判所がその証拠を信頼、採用するとは限りません。
もしその事実に対する情報が、目撃者証言である場合でも、法廷がその証言を信用しない可能性もあります。この場合の要因として、次のような例が考えられます。裁判で争われている事案が発生してからかなり時間が経過している・目撃者の証言が曖昧である・物理的に信用性に疑問が生じる（例：視力が悪い）・法廷がその証言を信用できないと判断せざるを得ないような、個人的な感情や動機が介入している、などです。
一般的に、裁判所で用いられる証拠の多くは「目撃者証言」ではなく、その特定の事案が発生したことを暗示・推定させるような証拠です。ただし、もし証拠となる書類がその事案が発生した時に記録されなかった場合、逆にこの証拠の重要性が不利に働く可能性もあります。（言い換えると、事案が発生し、しばらくしてから故意に記録に残すために作られたと理解される可能性もあるということです。）
English to Japanese: Post-modern claptrap rules in schools Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Post-modern claptrap rules in schools
IT is a scandal that Australian education is being held to ransom by a few hundred academics and mid-ranking bureaucrats who prioritise their own careers over the literacy of our children.
The public is rightfully perplexed as to how Australia can pour so much money into education and yet keep hearing that our general literacy is declining.
The anecdotal evidence from employers and universities about poor literacy levels is verified by research. The result of the latest Progress in International Literacy Study showed Australians have the lowest literacy levels of the English-speaking nations surveyed.
And we had more than twice the percentage of students performing "below low" than Canada and the US. What is going wrong?
Quite simply, the academic institutions and state educational departments are largely controlled or influenced by those with career attachments to the "whole language" methodology.
It focuses on reading being acquired naturally, as with speech, rather than being taught systematically as a code to unlock sounds and structures. Phonics is not given the central focus and children are encouraged to guess words based on the context or pictorial clues.
Translation - Japanese 近年の学校教育の問題点
学者や中流階級の官僚ら数百名が、子供達の読み書きの能力を伸ばすことよりも、自分達のキャリアを優先していることが、オーストラリアの教育において問題となっている。
教育機関に多額の投資をしているにもかかわらず、英語の読み書きの能力が下がってきていることに、オーストラリアの国民も戸惑いを隠せない。
雇用者や大学関係者からも読み書きの水準の低下について報告されており、これも、調査によって実証済みである。世界で読み書きの水準の研究をしている機関からの最新の結果を見ても、オーストラリアは、調査した英語圏の国の中で最低水準にあった。
さらに、オーストラリアで「かなり低水準」とされた生徒の割合は、米国やカナダと比べ、倍以上となっている。いったいどういうことなのだろうか？
実は、教育機関や州の教育省は、「ホール・ランゲージ」という方法を推奨してきたことで、キャリアを築いてきた人達の影響を多く受けている。
この方法は、アルファベットの音を一つ一つ解読し、その構造を整理しながら、単語を読んでいく方法ではなく、本を読むことは、話すことのように、自然に身につくものであるという考え方を基本にしている。「フォニックス」というアルファベットの音に注目しながら英語を学んでいく方法ではなく、子供たちは、文の内容や挿絵から単語の意味を考えるように勧められている。
English to Japanese: Mental health revision in Australia General field: Medical Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English Mental health revision tipped to cause rise in work claims
Australia is set for a sharp rise in workplace mental health claims because of changes in how mental illness is defined, workplace experts and psychiatrists fear.
The symptoms needed for diagnosis of some conditions will be expanded when the controversial Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) - known as the ''psychiatrists' bible'' - is released next month.
Psychiatrists and psychologists the world over have criticised the changes because they risk causing increases in unnecessary treatment and mis-labelling people. But the effect of the changes on workers' compensation cases and workplace legal disputes could be even greater.
Translation - Japanese メンタルヘルス診断基準改正が豪州労災申請件数を押し上げる
精神障害の診断基準が変わったことにより、豪州の職場におけるメンタルヘルスに対する労災申請件数が急増することになると、労災の専門家や精神科医が懸念している。
物議をかもす「精神医学のバイブル」として知られている、精神疾患の診断・統計マニュアル第5版（DSM-5）が来月発売されるが、それに伴い、 精神障害の診断基準となる症状の幅が広がると見込まれている。
患者に対し必要のない治療や誤った診断をする可能性が高まると、世界中の精神医学者や心理学者は、この診断基準の変更に批判的である。しかし、この基準の変更は、労災補償申請や職場を相手取った訴訟に、もっと大きな影響を与えることになるであろう。
