内容总结：

据路透社报道，美国多个州正计划联合提起诉讼，以阻止派拉蒙公司对华纳兄弟的收购交易。这笔价值1100亿美元的并购案自今年2月公布以来便争议不断，派拉蒙在多次竞标后击败网飞，成功竞购华纳兄弟。加州总检察长罗布·邦塔在交易宣布后立即启动调查，并与纽约等州共同准备发起法律挑战。邦塔此前发表声明称，对美国经济命脉行业进一步实施市场集中化，既无益于经济、消费者和市场竞争，反而导致物价上涨、优质就业岗位流失及消费者选择减少。他强调该交易必须接受全面严格审查，并表态加州将坚决打击任何违法的市场垄断行为。目前尚不清楚除加州和纽约外，还有哪些州将参与诉讼，但据消息人士透露，预计起诉将在未来数周内正式提交。

据报道，美国多个州正计划提起诉讼，以阻止派拉蒙对华纳兄弟的收购。该交易宣布后不久，加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔便对其展开调查。在派拉蒙以1100亿美元收购华纳兄弟的交易遭到广泛反对的背景下，据悉美国多个州正联手阻止此项并购。据路透社报道，加州和纽约州等州正在准备提起诉讼，以叫停这起交易。

自今年2月该交易宣布以来，便一直面临审查。当时派拉蒙经过多轮竞标，正式击败奈飞，成功收购华纳兄弟。加州总检察长罗布·邦塔尤其对潜在后果表达了担忧，他在当时的一份声明中表示："对美国经济生活至关重要的市场进一步整合，既不利于经济发展，也不利于消费者和市场竞争。事实上，市场整合已导致物价上涨、高薪就业机会流失以及消费者选择减少。"邦塔还补充说，该交易"必须接受全面且严格的审查"，并称该州"致力于打击我们认为非法的市场整合行为"。

目前尚不清楚除加州和纽约州外还有哪些州参与此次诉讼。但据路透社消息人士透露，该诉讼预计将在未来数周内正式提交。

US states are reportedly planning to sue to block Paramount's Warner Bros. takeover
California’s attorney general Rob Bonta launched a probe into the deal shortly after it was announced.
Amid widespread opposition to Paramount's $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros., multiple US states are reportedly working together to fight the merger. According to a Reuters report, California and New York are among states preparing a lawsuit to block the deal.
The deal has faced scrutiny since it was announced back in February, when Paramount officially beat out Netflix in its attempt to buy Warner Bros. following multiple bids. California Attorney General Rob Bonta in particular has voiced concerns about the potential consequences, saying in a statement at the time, "Further consolidation in markets that are central to American economic life does not serve our economy, consumers, or competition well. In fact, consolidation of markets has led to increased unaffordability, a loss of good-paying job opportunities, and fewer choices for consumers." Bonta added that the deal "must receive a full and robust review," and said the state is "committed to fighting market consolidation that we find unlawful."
We don't know yet what other states are involved in the lawsuit alongside California and New York. But according to Reuters' source, the suit is expected to be filed within the coming weeks.
