Steve Jobs 史蒂夫·乔布斯

Royal Wedding 皇家婚礼
The Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William, eldest son of the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana was of course the event of the year that made the world stand still. No surprise that it came 2nd in the 'phrase of the year' ranking.
英国威尔士王子和戴安娜王妃的长子威廉王子迎娶凯特·米德尔顿,这场皇室婚礼让全世界都屏息关注。因此,“皇室婚礼毫无悬念地荣登年度最热短语亚军宝座。
英国的经济持续低迷,但英国所有百姓还是跟自家儿子要区媳妇一样的为威廉王子高兴,这场世纪婚礼有如童话般诗情画意,但在隐藏在背后则是一笔天文数字的花费,虽然王室尚未公布这次婚礼的费用,但一般预估高达6位数英镑,事实上,根据媒体报导,光是维安费用就高达上千万美金,总花费更高达6400万美金以上。威廉王子大喜之日,全球估计有28亿人同步收看,包括足球明星贝克汉(David Beckham)、歌星艾尔顿强(Elton John)和英国首相卡麦隆(DavidCameron)等1900位贵宾,获邀进入西敏寺见证王室婚礼,外头街道上则有民众从几天前就聚集在白金汉宫之外,估计有超过百万人
Osama Bin Laden and the Seal Team 6 奥萨马·本·拉登和海豹6队
The Seal Team 6, that ended Osama' Bin Laden's life, was, along with Bin Laden, the second highest ranking word under the 'name' category in 2011. So much so that the question as to who changed the world more, Al-qaeda or Steve Jobs, has been bandied around.
击杀了本·拉登的美国特种部队海豹6队和本·拉登一起登上了2011最受关注的人名第二名的位置。人们因此也展开了基地组织和乔布斯谁改变了世界更多的讨论。

Kate Middleton 凯特 米德尔顿

作为威廉王子的新娘,凯特就有很多理由可以吸引全世界的目光。她以平民身份嫁入皇室,她紧跟潮流又有着独特的审美品位。在她成为剑桥公爵夫人之后,她的能力将继续吸引人们的注意。
Fukushima 福岛
Fukushima was the epicenter of the Japanese Triple Disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown). It ranked number 3 on the top names for 2011.
