Hollywood writers went on strike this week to demand higher pay and job security.

好莱坞编剧本周举行罢工，要求提高工资和加强工作保障。

The labor action forced an immediate suspension of late-night television shows and other programs and projects.

The writers' labor action is the first Hollywood strike in 15 years.

此次编剧罢工是好莱坞15年来的第一次罢工。

The union Writers Guild of America (WGA) is seeking higher minimum pay, more writers per show and less exclusivity on single projects, among other demands.

美国编剧工会正在寻求更高的最低工资，每部剧有更多的编剧，减少单个项目的排他性以及其他要求。

The 11,500-member Guild argues that all the demands concern conditions that have worsened since the huge growth in streaming media.

拥有1.15万名会员的美国编剧工会认为，所有的要求都与自流媒体快速发展以来恶化的环境有关。

"Everything's changed, but the money has changed in the wrong direction," said Kelly Galuska.

凯利·加卢斯卡说：“一切都变了，但钱却流向了错误的方向。”

The 39-year-old is a writer for The Bear, an FX show and Big Mouth, a program on Netflix.

现年39岁的凯利·加卢斯卡是FX的电视剧《熊》和奈飞的节目《大嘴》的编剧。

"It's a turning point in the industry right now. And if we don't get back to even, we never will," she said.

“这是目前这个行业的一个转折点。如果我们不能恢复平衡，我们就永远不会恢复平衡，”她说。

The last Hollywood strike, from the same union in 2007 and 2008, took three months to settle.

上一次好莱坞罢工发生在2007年和2008年，也是同一个工会发起的罢工，那次罢工花了三个月的时间才平息下来。

There are no talks planned between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP.

美国编剧工会和电影电视制片人联盟之间没有计划进行谈判。

It represents studios and production companies that employ the writers.

An AMPTP statement said the organization presented an offer with "generous increases in compensation for writers."

电影电视制片人联盟在一份声明中表示，该组织提出了“大幅增加编剧薪酬”的提议。

It said leaders were also prepared to improve the offer but were put off, it said, "because of the magnitude of other proposals" the WGA was presenting.

该组织表示，各方领导人也准备改善这个提议，它说，但“由于美国编剧工会提出的其他提案重要性更大”，因此被推迟了。

The writers expected to go on strike.

编剧们打算举行罢工。

Negotiations over a new contract ended suddenly hours before the time limit passed for an agreement to be reached.

The reality of a strike left some people surprised, some worried, and some determined.

"When I saw the refusals to counter and the refusing to even negotiate by the AMPTP, I was like on fire to get out here and stand up for what we deserve," said Jonterri Gadson.

On a picket line at Amazon Studios, she held a sign that said, "I hate it here."

在亚马逊工作室的纠察线上，她举着一个牌子，上面写着：“我讨厌这里。”

New productions of top late-night shows were cancelled.

顶级深夜节目的新制作被取消。

That is because the striking writers are the ones who write jokes for the shows' hosts.

这是因为为节目主持人写笑话的人是罢工的编剧。

Instead, television chiefs made plans for reruns for the rest of the week.

Right now, shows for which the writing has been completed are permitted to continue with production.

目前，已经完成剧本的电视剧可以继续制作。

Streaming has led to an explosion in the number of series and film productions made each year.

That has meant more jobs for writers.
