Japanese to English: American dream at risk Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - Japanese Nowadays the old American dream of owning your own home outright can seem like just that: a dream. For reasons good and bad, Americans are increasingly carrying mortgage debt later in life. Retirees or soon-to-be retirees who haven't factored these mortgage payments into their retirement plans could need to come up with some extra income. (from Business Week)
Translation - English 今日、以前から言われていたアメリカンドリーム、すなわち「マイホームを借金なしで所有する夢」は残念だが「夢」に終わりそうな気配だ。良きにしも悪きにしも、国民は住宅ローン借金を熟年期まで継続する傾向が増えている。引退または引退間近の人は、引退プランに住宅ローン対策を組み込んでいない場合、追加収入の必要性に迫られることになりそうだ。（ビジネス・ウィーク誌より）
Japanese to English: 顧客情報の流出 Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - Japanese 三菱東京ＵＦＪ銀行は５日、全国８５支店・出張所で、現金自動出入機（ＡＴＭ）の利用明細や伝票など顧客情報が記載された資料約９６万人分を紛失したと発表した。他の資料に紛れ込むなどして過って廃棄したとみられ、同行は、外部流出の可能性は低いとみている。これまでに不正利用されたとの報告もない、と説明しているが、企業の顧客情報の大量紛失・流出が相次ぐなか、情報管理が改めて問われそうだ。(朝日新聞)
Translation - English Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd has announced on 5th of this month that it has lost data on about 960 thousand customers – ATM transaction records and sales slips – from 85 branches and local offices throughout Japan. It believes that the data were accidentally discarded with other records; there is very little risk of such information getting into hands of outsiders; and no fraudulent use of the data has been reported as of now. However, with recent barrage of reports of massive customer information leakage, their information management is expected to face public scrutiny. (The Asahi Shimbun)
