The film industry is a giant engine of economic growth, employing more than 750,000 people and boasting a surplus balance of trade with every single country in the world.

电影产业是经济增长的巨大动力，其雇佣了750，000名员工，并也在世界上任何一个国家都有贸易顺差。

The attendees met in small groups as well as some in formal symposia, and included filmmakers, lawmakers, cinema art students and other industry constituents from around the world.

会议形式有小型会议以及正式的座谈会，包括电影制片人，立法人，电影艺术学生和来自世界各地的其他产业代表们。

California senator Diane Feinstein reflected on both the art and commerce involved in filmmaking. “Great movies, I believe, shape who we are as American, in our own eyes, and in the eyes of the world. And this industry not only impacts American culture, it impacts our economy.”

加州议员DF在涉及艺术和商业上谈了自己的看法。“好的电影，我相信，会让我们看清我们美国人，用我们的眼睛，用全世界的眼睛。而且这个产业不仅仅影响美国文化，同样改变着我们的经济。”

An economic impact report will released at the conference finds that the U.S. film industry generates more than 1.3 million American jobs, pumping 60.4 billion dollars into the U.S. economy, and generating 10 billion dollars in tax revenue.

一份将在会议上发表的经济影响报告指出，美国电影业创造了130万个工作岗位，为美国的经济注入了604亿美元，而且创造了100亿的税收。

This revenue could be substantially higher, said the report, were it not for the global phenomenon of copyright theft. Illegal download and pirate DVDs cost the industry billions, a matter that is sure to be addressed in future conferences.

报告指出，如果不是卷入全球盗版事件中，税收应该更高。抵制非法下载和盗版DVD花了数10亿美元，这件事情在将来的会议上是要被讨论的。
