Episode Details

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) said Sunday that it had reached an agreement with Hollywood movie and television studios. The announcement signaled that the group’s five-month strike is nearing an end.

美国作家协会（WGA）周日表示，已与好莱坞电影和电视制片厂达成协议。 该公告标志着该组织为期五个月的罢工即将结束。

The WGA is the labor group that represents writers in the United States who work on many movies and television programs.

WGA 是代表美国许多电影和电视节目编剧的劳工组织。

The writers’ group said its members will not yet return to work, but they will no longer protest – or picket – outside movie studios.

编剧团体表示，其成员尚未重返工作岗位，但他们将不再在电影制片厂外抗议或纠察。

The WGA said it reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers for a tentative three-year deal. It is called “tentative,” which means not certain, because it must still be approved by the WGA’s leaders and members. A vote could happen this week.

WGA 表示，它与电影电视制片人联盟达成了一项为期三年的暂定协议。 它被称为“暂定”，意思是不确定，因为它还必须得到 WGA 领导人和成员的批准。 本周可能会进行投票。

The WGA said its labor stoppage lasted more than 140 days. If it had gone five days longer, the strike would have been the longest in WGA history.

WGA 表示，其停工持续了 140 多天。 如果再延长五天，这次罢工将是 WGA 历史上最长的罢工。

When the new contract is approved, programs that depend on writers who have not been working could be back on television within days. Those include nightly comedy programs such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

当新合同获得批准后，依赖于尚未工作的编剧的节目可能会在几天内重新出现在电视上。 其中包括夜间喜剧节目，例如《吉米·法伦今夜秀》和《吉米·坎摩尔现场秀》。
