1
So pharmaceutical industry.
2
The pharmaceutical industry is really quite a vast network of companies.
3
About 50% of the global pharmaceutical companies are located in the United States,
4
and about 40% of them are located in Western Europe.
5
The other 10% are scattered about the world,
6
and these are just a few of the major players of the pharmaceutical industry companies like Genentech, Amgen, Merck, Pfizer, Sanofi, Aventus,
7
and Novartis really make up a lot of the big players in that space.
8
Approximately 1.7 to 1.9 million people work in the pharmaceutical industry worldwide.
9
That's a lot of people
10
and it gives you a sense of the scope of the industry out there in the broader economy.
11
Let me see if this will advance here.
12
The pharmaceutical industry has gone through a lot of transitions and a lot of development over the past couple of centuries.
13
Back in the 19th century, the pharmaceutical industry started coming into its heyday.
14
Given the need for countries to treat wounded soldiers and struggle with pandemic diseases,
15
vaccines, antibiotics, and other kinds of treatments were created so
16
that people could have a better quality of life and overcome some of these illnesses.
17
Things like the flu and diphtheria,
18
tetanus, rabies, and other kinds of issues seem to predominate the early 19th and late 19th century.
19
Then going into the 20th century, we ended up with things like antibiotics, insulin, a global scale, flu vaccines, polio, and so forth.
20
And today in the 21st century, we're starting to get into the world of targeted therapies,
21
where now we're no longer dealing with just large-scale epidemic-type diseases,
22
but we're now dealing with more boutique diseases, where we have diseases that make up very much smaller portions of the population,
23
but have every bit as devastating an impact on those groups.
24
And so as we move into the 21st century, the pharmaceutical industry will take on a bigger, broader perspective.
25
We will be penetrating into more parts of the global economy.
26
Well, typically, when one thinks of the pharmaceutical industry, there are several kinds of divisions.
27
We have the traditional large-scale pharmaceutical companies.
28
that design develop commercialize and deploy pharmaceuticals then there are the newcomers to the business
29
which are biotechnology companies these are companies that deal with biological therapies
30
and biological treatments and then there are generic manufacturers once drugs become
31
available and are off patent then income other companies to try to offer the same medications at a reduced cost,
32
thus reducing the amount that consumers have to pay at the cash register.
33
And so there are some important distinctions between these various kinds of companies.
34
For example, traditional pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of time developing and discovering new drugs.
35
So too do biotechnology companies.
36
A lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of research goes into understanding what kind of drugs and opportunities there are out there for development of drugs,
37
and then the process for turning it into a commercialized product that can be sold on the open market.
38
Biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical companies then also create diagnostic tools
39
that can be used to help assess and understand the extent of the diseases
40
and the extent to which the treatments they're offering are actually making a difference.
41
Generic manufacturers, on the other hand, worry about making exact copies of what used to be once novel products in a space,
42
but they are limited in terms of their scope.
43
They do not come up with new drugs.
44
They're not in the business of developing new drugs.
45
They're in the business of manufacturing existing drugs, but doing it on a much cheaper scale.
46
Now, there's a reason for generics appearing on the scene, and they usually appear on the scene much later than the pharmaceutical companies,
47
because the pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies have legal rights that we'll talk about here in just a moment.

Thank you.

おすすめ動画

この動画で話す練習をする理由

「製薬業界の概要」というテーマは、ビジネス英語や専門的な会話を練習するのに最適です。業界用語や歴史的背景、企業の違いなど、実際の職場で使われるような具体的なコンテキストが豊富で、shadow speech(シャドーイング)をすることで、自然な流れで英語を話すリズムが身につきます。YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、この動画は「専門的な内容を簡潔に説明する」スキルを磨くのに役立ち、日常会話だけでなくビジネスシーンでも使える表現がたくさんあります。

文脈の中の文法と表現

動画の中で使われているキー構造をいくつか紹介します。

  • 「The pharmaceutical industry has gone through a lot of transitions...」のように、現在完了形を使って業界の変遷を説明する表現。過去から現在までの変化を伝えるのに便利です。
  • 「there are several kinds of divisions. We have the traditional...」のように、分類を説明する構造。「there are... We have...」で明確に種類を列挙し、説明しやすくなります。
  • 「Generic manufacturers, on the other hand, worry about...」のように、対比を表す「on the other hand」。異なるグループの特徴を比較するときに使えます。

発音の罠を避ける

英語の発音を良くするために、動画の中のトリッキーな単語に注意しましょう。

  • 「pharmaceutical」: 発音が難しい単語で、「ファーマシューティカル」ではなく、「ファーマスーティカル」と発音するのが正しいです。
  • 「biotechnology」: 「バイオテクノロジー」ではなく、「バイオテクノロジー」(途中の「テク」を強調しない)が自然です。
  • 「generic」: 「ジェネリック」ではなく、「ジェネリック」(「ジェ」を軽く発音)が正しい発音です。

英語シャドーイングをするときは、これらの単語をゆっくり繰り返し練習し、ネイティブスピーカーのリズムに合わせてshadow speakをしてみてください。YouTubeで英語学習をするなら、この動画を使ってシャドーイングを続けると、発音とリズムが大幅に向上します。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
