好莱坞人才经纪公司组织集会支持公民权利和难民团体

    A Hollywood talent agency has cancelled plans for a party celebrating the Academy Awards, known as the "Oscars."
    一家好莱坞经纪公司取消了一场庆祝奥斯卡颁奖仪式的派对。

    Instead, the agency is organizing an event to help the American Civil Liberties Union and the International Rescue Committee. It also has plans to donate $250,000 to the two groups.
    相反,该公司正在组织一场活动来帮助美国公民自由联盟和国际救援委员会,并计划向这两家团体捐赠25万美元。

    United Talent Agency, known as UTA, announced the move on Wednesday.
    联合人才经纪公司周三宣布了这一行动。

    The company says it represents actors and writers in the movie industry, as well as in television, books, music and digital media.
    该公司声称自己代表了电影以及电视、书籍、音乐和数字媒体行业的演员和作家。

    Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi is one of the agency's clients. He was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for his movie The Salesman.
    伊朗制片人阿斯哈·法哈蒂(Asghar Farhadi)是该公司的客户之一。他拍摄的电影《销售员》获得了奥斯卡最佳外语类电影提名。

    Farhadi announced early this month he will not attend the Academy Awards ceremony on February 26. Iran is one of seven countries listed in an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The order bars Iranian citizens from entering the United States for 90 days.
    法哈蒂本月初宣布不会参加2月26日的奥斯卡颁奖仪式。伊朗是美国总统川普签署的行政令中列出的7个国家之一。该命令禁止伊朗公民在90天内进入美国。

    Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti, who stars in The Salesman, has also said she will not attend the ceremony in protest of the executive order.
    伊朗女演员塔拉尼·阿里多斯蒂(Taraneh Alidoosti)担任了《销售员》这部电影的女主角,她也表示不会参加颁奖仪式,以此抗议川普的行政令。

    Trump has defended the measure. He says it is necessary to protect American citizens and to prevent possible terrorists from entering the country.
    川普为这项措施做了辩护。他说,保护美国公民以及防止潜在恐怖分子进入美国是必要的。

    Last week, a judge in Seattle temporarily suspended the ban on travelers from the seven countries.
    上周,西雅图的一名法官暂时冻结了对来自这七个国家的旅客的禁令。

    A federal appeals court on Thursday refused to block the lower court ruling. President Trump plans to appeal the ruling, taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
    联邦上诉法院周四拒绝终止这一下级法院的判决。川普总统计划对此判决提出上诉,将这起案子递交到美国最高法院。

    United Talent Agency says its "United Voices" rally will be held in Los Angeles two days before the Academy Awards. The agency said it welcomes anyone who wants to express support for artistic freedom and "their concern with growing anti-immigrant sentiment in our country and its potential chilling effect around the world."
    联合人才经纪公司表示,该公司的“团结之声”集会将于奥斯卡颁奖仪式的两天前在洛杉矶举行。该公司表示,欢迎任何希望对艺术自由表达支持和“对反移民情绪在我们国家蔓延,以及这种情绪给全球带来寒心效应表达担忧”的人士参与。

    UTA said the event is designed to help the American Civil Liberties Union and the International Rescue Committee, known as IRC, which work in support of civil rights and help refugees.
    联合人才经纪公司表示,该活动旨在帮助美国自由联盟以及国际救援委员会这两家促进公民权利和救助难民的机构。

    The IRC thanked the Hollywood talent agency for its support in a Twitter message.
    国际救援委员会在推特上发文感谢了这家好莱坞人才经纪公司的支持。

    Another talent agency, WME-IMG, has announced plans to form a Political Action Committee. The agency said the committee will raise money to support or oppose political candidates, ballot measures or legislation.
    另外一家人才经纪公司公司WME-IMG宣布了成立政治行动委员会的计划,称该委员会将筹集资金用于支持或者反对政治候选人、投票措施或者立法行动。
