　　逐句精讲

　　Disney plans to buy 21st Century Fox. The deal is significant partly because of its size. These companies are known worldwide and they're two of the biggest players in Hollywood.

　　迪士尼计划收购21世纪福克斯。这笔交易具有重要意义，部分原因是交易的规模。这两家公司闻名世界，而且是好莱坞的两大霸主。

　　Disney owns the Disney Studios, stores, theme parks and cruise line. It owns TV channels like ESPN and it has part of the Internet streaming service Hulu. Under the Fox umbrella, there are sports networks, the FX networks, National Geographic, hundreds of international channels and also part of Hulu.

　　迪士尼旗下拥有迪士尼制片厂、商店、主题公园和邮轮专线。其旗下还有ESPN等电视频道，并拥有互联网流媒体服务Hulu的部分股权。而福克斯旗下有体育网、FX电视网、国家地理频道、数百个国际频道以及Hulu的部分股权。

　　And streaming entertainment is the big reason why Disney is spending $52.4 billion on Fox. It wants to expand its content online to better compete with rival companies like Netflix. In fact, Disney is taking its products off Netflix as Disney prepares to launch its own Internet streaming service. What's not part of the deal: Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network and Fox Sports. They'll be separated and formed into a new company.

　　流媒体娱乐是迪士尼计划以524亿美元收购福克斯的重要原因。迪士尼想扩大其线上内容，以更好地同奈飞公司等对手进行竞争。实际上，迪士尼计划将产品从奈飞下线，因为迪士尼准备推出自己的互联网流媒体服务。迪士尼收购福克斯的资产中不包括：福克斯新闻频道、福克斯商业网和福克斯体育。这些业务将被分离，组成一家新公司。

　　When will all this happen? The deal is expected to take at least a year to go through, if it goes through. It first has to be approved by the U.S. government, which will consider whether the new company would have too much control over the market and what consumers pay.

　　这项交易什么时候完成？预计交易获批需要至少一年的时间。首先，这笔交易要先得到美国政府的批准，政府将考虑新公司是否对市场拥有过多的控制权以及消费者的购买情况。
