James Franco and Anne Hathaway to Host the Oscars

LOS ANGELES —Out with the old, in with the young: James Franco and Anne Hathaway will co-host the 83rd Academy Awards in February, an apparent bid to attract younger viewers to the telecast.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made the announcement on Monday morning, with the producers of this year’s show, Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer, noting in a joint statement that the two actors “personify the next generation of Hollywood icons – fresh, exciting and multi-talented.”

Making the choice more unusual, both Mr. Franco and Ms. Hathaway are part of this year’s Oscar race. Mr. Franco has a very good shot at a best actor nomination for his stomach-churning turn in “127 Hours” as a hiker who severs his own arm after an accident. Ms. Hathaway is more of a long shot in the best actress race but still part of the conversation for playing an early-onset Parkinson’s victim in “Love and Other Drugs.”

Last year, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin co-hosted the ceremony ; more than 41 million people tuned in, the best showing since 2005.

詹姆斯•弗兰科和安妮•海瑟薇联袂主持第83届奥斯卡颁奖典礼

洛杉矶——长江后浪推前浪：詹姆斯•弗兰科和安妮•海瑟薇将联袂主持明年二月的第83届奥斯卡颁奖典礼，此举明显意在将更年轻的观众吸引到电视机前。

美国电影艺术与科学学院于本周一早晨宣布了这一消息，同时本次颁奖典礼的执行制片人布鲁斯•科恩和唐•米舍在一次联合声明中说这两位演员是“好莱坞新生代偶像中的典范——形象清新、活力四射并且多才多艺。”

弗兰科和海瑟薇都将参与今年奥斯卡奖的角逐，因此让这一主持人的选择更显特别。弗兰科因其在《127小时》中“令人作呕”的精彩演出获得最佳男演员提名，他在剧中的角色是一名徒步旅行者，在一场灾难中自断手臂。安妮•海瑟薇获得最佳女角的可能性不大，但凭借其在《爱情与灵药》中所扮演的早发性帕金森症患者的角色仍然是夺冠话题的一部分。

去年的颁奖典礼由史蒂夫•马丁和亚力克•鲍德温联袂主持，超过4100万观众收看，收视率创2005年以来的新高。

难点总结：

long shot:a representation of a person or scene in the form of a print or transparent slide

此处中文意思是提名的短片，看过颁奖礼的同学都应该知道这个是神马东西。

因此这句的意思是安妮更像是只在提名短片中出现(但获奖可能性不大)。我翻译时结合下句意思处理了一下。

Unemployed, and Likely to Stay That Way

The longer people stay out of work, the more trouble they have finding new work.

That is a fact of life that much of Europe, with its underclass of permanently idle workers, knows all too well. But it is a lesson that the United States seems to be just learning.

This country has some of the highest levels of long-term unemployment — out of work longer than six months — it has ever recorded. Meanwhile, job growth has been, and looks to remain, disappointingly slow, indicating that those out of work for a while are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Even if the government report shows the expected improvement in hiring by business, it will not be enough to make a real dent in those totals.

So the legions of long-term unemployed will probably be idle for significantly longer than their counterparts in past recessions, reducing their chances of eventually finding a job even when the economy becomes more robust.

译文：

失业愈久，找活儿愈难

这成为多数欧洲国家所熟知的真实生活写照，相伴的还有那些一成不变的闲散工人生活在社会底层，不过，这貌似成为美国正在吸取的经验教训。

失业时间超过六个月即被称为长期失业，据报道美国的长期失业率名列高位。以此同时，就业岗位增长缓慢得令人失望，且有维持现状的势头。这表明在可预见的未来里，失业者依然无法找到工作。即使政府工作报告预期商业聘用岗位会增加，也杯水车薪，无法真正削减整体数率。

所以，与过去经济危机中的失业前辈相比，这一次的长期失业大军可能会赋闲更久。即使经济好转，这一情况还是会降低他们最终找到工作的概率。
