Paramount has reached a settlement(和解；协议) with California and several other states that sued over a proposed $81bn merger with Warner Bros Discovery(华纳兄弟探索公司，好莱坞主要媒体巨头) (WBD), the California attorney general announced Monday, clearing the way to consolidate(合并；整合) some of Hollywood’s most recognizable TV networks and studios under one owner.
加州总检察长周一宣布，派拉蒙已与加州及其他几个州达成和解。这些州此前就派拉蒙拟以810亿美元收购华纳兄弟探索公司（WBD）提起诉讼。和解为将好莱坞一些最知名的电视网和制片厂整合到同一所有者旗下扫清了道路。
Though the merger was approved by the justice department in June, a coalition of 12 states, led by California, had sued over concerns that combining two of the five last legacy studios in Hollywood would “extinguish competition” and lead to fewer movies in theaters and on streaming platforms.(尽管合并已于6月获司法部批准，但以加州为首的12州联盟仍提起诉讼，担心好莱坞仅存五大传统制片厂中的两家合并会“扼杀竞争”，导致影院和流媒体电影减少。)

Rob Bonta, the California attorney general who spearheaded the antitrust litigation, said in a news conference on Monday that Paramount had made an “enforceable commitment to significantly increase” production in the US and specifically in Los Angeles, which he said would mean “more jobs, more economic activity”.(牵头反垄断诉讼的加州总检察长罗布·邦塔周一在新闻发布会上表示，派拉蒙已做出“可强制执行的承诺”，将大幅增加在美国尤其是洛杉矶的制作，他说这将意味着“更多就业和更多经济活动”。)
