Disney was last night closing in on a deal to buy 21st Century Fox's entertainment businesses for ￡45 billion.
昨天晚上，迪士尼與21世紀(jì)?？怂构具_(dá)成協(xié)議，將以450億英鎊收購(gòu)其娛樂(lè)產(chǎn)業(yè)。

The two sides have been locked in talks for more than a month but could announce a sale within days – with many expecting it to happen next week.
這兩家公司已就該交易談判了一個(gè)多月，不過(guò)他們可能會(huì)在幾天之內(nèi)宣布這項(xiàng)交易，許多人預(yù)計(jì)他們將于下周公布。

The proposal is said to be preferred by the Murdoch family – who control Fox – over a rival bid by Comcast, as they would rather receive Disney stock as part of the deal. A deal with Disney is also expected to be easier to clear with US competition regulators.
據(jù)說(shuō)，控股?？怂辜瘓F(tuán)的默多克家族在迪士尼和康卡斯特公司的競(jìng)購(gòu)中更傾向于迪士尼，因?yàn)樗麄兏敢鈴倪@份合作協(xié)議中拿到迪士尼的股份，而且與迪士尼之間的協(xié)議也有望更容易地通過(guò)美國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的審批。

An agreement would break up the media empire built up over several decades by Rupert Murdoch and reshape an industry that has been upended by new entrants such as Netflix and Amazon.
這兩家公司之間的協(xié)議將使魯珀特·默多克打造了幾十年的傳媒帝國(guó)解體，并改組被奈飛和亞馬遜等新的媒體參與者所顛覆的行業(yè)。

It could potentially see Murdoch's son and Fox's chief executive, James Murdoch, take on a senior executive role at Disney.
默多克的兒子，也就是?？怂辜瘓F(tuán)的總裁詹姆斯·默多克，可能會(huì)在迪士尼擔(dān)任高管。

There have even been suggestions that he could succeed Bob Iger as chief executive. Iger, 66, has already postponed his retirement three times so far as Disney hunts for a replacement.
甚至還有人暗示，他可能會(huì)接任鮑勃·伊格的總裁之職，因?yàn)榈鲜磕嵴趯ふ乙粮竦睦^任者，而到目前為止，66歲的伊格已經(jīng)延遲退休3次了。

It was unclear last night what the deal might mean for Fox's ongoing attempts to gain full control of Sky – it currently holds a 39 per cent stake in the satellite broadcaster.
目前福克斯集團(tuán)持有衛(wèi)星電視公司天空衛(wèi)視（Sky）39%的股份，而且?？怂辜瘓F(tuán)仍試圖獲得其完全控制權(quán)，但昨晚的協(xié)議對(duì)該交易的影響還不確定。
