電影院起訴新澤西州要求重新開業(yè)

Movie chains are suing to be included in New Jersey's reopening plans.

連鎖電影院正在起訴，要求納入新澤西的重新開業(yè)計劃。

Cinema chains, including AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas, have filed suit against New Jersey's governor for refusing to allow them to reopen amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

包括AMC娛樂、喜滿客和帝王影院在內(nèi)的連鎖電影院已經(jīng)對新澤西州州長提起訴訟，原因是在COVID-19疫情持續(xù)期間拒絕它們重新開業(yè)。

In the lawsuit led by the National Association of Theatre Owners of New Jersey, naming Gov. Philip Murphy and New Jersey's health commissioner, Judith Persichilli, the plaintiffs argue that because churches and retailers have been allowed to open in the state, the movie theaters should be permitted to reopen as well.

在由新澤西州劇院業(yè)主協(xié)會牽頭的訴訟中，在對州長菲利普·墨菲和新澤西州衛(wèi)生專員朱迪思·波斯奇利提起的訴訟中，原告認為，由于該州允許教堂和零售商開業(yè)，電影院也應(yīng)獲準重新開放。

In the suit filed on Monday in U.S. District Court in Trenton, the cinema chains acknowledge the danger posed by COVID-19.

在周一提交給特倫頓美國地方法院的訴訟中，這家連鎖影院承認了COVID-19造成的危險。

"Plaintiffs support fair and reasonable actions by the government to address that risk. However, the government-mandated total closure of movie theatres is neither fair nor reasonable, and is instead a violation of Plaintiffs' First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, Equal Protection of the laws, Due Process under the law, and is a Taking of property without just compensation," the lawsuit says.

“原告支持政府采取公平合理的行動來應(yīng)對這種風險。然而，政府強制關(guān)閉電影院既不公平也不合理，反而侵犯了原告第一修正案中的言論自由和表達自由、法律的平等保護、法律正當程序的權(quán)利，是在沒有公正賠償?shù)那闆r下沒收財產(chǎn)。”訴訟說。

They say Murphy and Persichilli have made "unconstitutional and unlawful distinctions in allowing certain places of public assembly to reopen, while requiring movie theatres to remain closed."

他們表示，墨菲和波斯奇利允許某些公共集會場所重新開放，但要求電影院繼續(xù)關(guān)閉。”

The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to stop New Jersey from enforcing orders that prevent movie houses from opening "simultaneously" with other, comparable venues.

原告正在尋求一項禁令，以阻止新澤西州執(zhí)行禁止電影院與其他類似場所“同時”開放的命令。

Murphy unveiled a phased reopening of the state in May.

墨菲宣布將于5月分階段重新開放該州。

Bow Tie Cinemas, BJK Entertainment, and Community Theaters are also plaintiffs in the suit.

Bow Tie影院、BJK娛樂公司和社區(qū)影院也是這起訴訟的原告。
