迪士尼宣佈收購福克斯，X戰警和漫威要合併！

The empire of Rupert Murdoch — the octogenarian mogul known for aggressively buying up media properties for decades — is set to be split up.
今年80歲的媒體大亨默多克數十年來，向來以收購擴張聞名，然而他的帝國，如今即將分裂。

Disney on Thursday announced it would buy key parts of 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion in stock. The deal would give Disney the 20th Century Fox film and TV studios, cable properties like FX, a share in European media giant Sky, and a controlling interest in Hulu.
週四，美國迪士尼和21世紀福克斯發表聯合聲明，雙方已簽署最終協議，迪士尼將以約524億美元收購21世紀福克斯大部分資產，包括20世紀福克斯電影和電視工作室，以及有線電視和國際電視業務。

Fox's holdings will be pared down to focus on news and sports. A new company will include the Fox broadcast network, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, and Fox Sports.
福克斯今後將把發展重點放在新聞和體育上。新公司將包括如下幾個部門： 廣播網絡、新聞頻道、商業網絡以及體育頻道。

If approved by regulators, the deal positions Disney to better compete with newer competitors like Netflix and Amazon and would add a powerful roster of entertainment properties — like X-Men — to Disney's portfolio.
如果得到監管機構的批准，這項協議會使得迪士尼在與新對手奈飛和亞馬遜的競爭中取得更大優勢，並且也會有一系列新作與觀衆見面。

The agreement marks an unexpected swan song in Murdoch's long career as a buyer, not seller.
這項協議的簽署可謂默多克事業生涯中的一個小插曲，因爲這次，他的角色不是買家而是賣家。

It is also something of an acknowledgment that only a few media powerhouses will survive in a new environment being reshaped by streaming services and consumers cutting the cable cord.
這次的收購也表明，隨着流媒體服務日漸盛行，人們紛紛放棄了有線電視，沒有幾個媒體公司可以倖存。

At the White House briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that President Trump spoke with Murdoch on Thursday to congratulate him on the deal. The president, who speaks with Murdoch frequently, believes the deal would be a great thing for jobs, Sanders said.
根據來自白宮的簡報，新聞發言人Sarah Huckabee Sanders稱美國總統特朗普在週四與默多克進行了會面並對這次收購成功表示了祝賀。Sanders 說，特朗普經常與默多克談話，他認爲這次收購會對增加就業有很大好處。
