伊斯曼柯达公司曾发明了手持数码相机，并且为世界带来了第一张从月球上拍摄的照片，然而由于长时间持续的衰落，这家美国著名企业如今已经申请了破产保护。那么“破产保护”怎么说?
这位130岁的摄影胶卷先驱曾尝试重建为一家销售诸如数码相机等产品的经销商。该公司称其从花旗银行获得了一笔9.5亿美元、18个月的信用贷款以维持运转。
请看相关英文报道：
Eastman Kodak Co, which invented the hand-held camera and helped bring the world the first pictures from the moon, has filed for bankruptcy protection, capping a prolonged plunge for what remains one of America's best-known companies.
The 130-year-old photographic film pioneer, which had tried to restructure to become a seller of consumer products like cameras, said it had also obtained a $950 million, 18-month credit facility from Citigroup to keep it going.
分析：
在上述报道中，"bankruptcy protection"就是指“破产保护”，"bankrupt"即“破产”。常见的用来表示“破产”的还有"burst up"。
一些相关说法：

bail out 政府财政救助

例句：
